SUMMARY:Book Launch: Playing Monogamy by Simon(e) van Saarloos
DESCRIPTION:  \nLove is love\, but not really. To recognize love as love we need comprehensible images. What are those contemporary images that help us identify love and how could we identify love differently\, figuring it as less defined by safety procedures\, measured commitment and feelings of ownership and entitlement? Playing Monogamy refuses to see personal relationships as safe havens where people can hide from the precarities of society\, and instead proposes to make public life more intimate and romantic.\n \nThrough a contemporary rereading of the cult of monogamy\, Van Saarloos playfully queers the way in which the structure of monogamy is upheld through social convention within Western contexts. Written for more of a lay audience\, the book proposes an expanded and polyamorous engagement with intimacy and sexuality as a possible alternative.\n \nAfter a tour through the US and Canada in September\, writer Simon(e) van Saarloos now lands in NYC to launch their book at the Bureau. After an introductory talk\, there will be ample time for a Q&A and an exchange.\n \nCopies of Playing Monogamy will be available for purchase at the Bureau. To reserve a copy please write to us at contact@bgsqd.com. Please support the Bureau by buying books from us. Thank you!\n \n  \n*\n \n \n“Playing Monogamy pushes for the bolder and deeper challenges to our current systems of family\, relationships and intimacy. The time is right for this book and this argument. Simon(e) van Saarloos’s elegant account of romance\, love and sex outside of the couple form allows us to imagine life beyond the iron grip of monogamy.”\n— Jack Halberstam\, author of Gaga Feminism \n  \n“It is a thrill to live at a time when words and the ideologies that underpin them have re/entered the vernacular. Playing Monogamy puts patriarchy\, capitalism\, and monogamy – long unquestioned pillars of “the way things are” – to the test\, unpacks them and declares them the faulty defaults they are. Simon(e) van Saarloos writes urgently and poignantly for all of us who refuse to play along with those defaults. Playing Monogamy teases out the privilege and the power that underpin assumptions of how intimacy should behave. It tempts and challenges those who have long chafed under them: come out and play!”\n— Mona Eltahawy\, author of The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls  \n  \n“Monogamy and other prevailing models of romantic coupleship will be dethroned as biological ideals\, must be disrupted as norms or we will continue to do harm within their default capitalist framework. We must love more\, own less. Use this book as a deprogramming tool\, use it quick.”\n— Viva Ruiz\, founder of Thank God For Abortion \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSimon(e) van Saarloos (1990\, Summit\, New Jersey) is a writer\, philosopher and performer living in Amsterdam\, the Netherlands. They published several books in Dutch including Ik deug / deug niet (a collection of columns originally published in the Dutch national news- paper NRC)\, De vrouw die (a novel about a molecular biologist running the NYC marathon in a burqa)\, Enz. Het Wildersproces (a feminist and queer report of the trial against the Dutch right-wing politician Geert Wilders) and Herdenken herdacht\, a non-fiction work about queer forgetfulness\, white erasure and embodied commemoration. Simon(e) also writes and performs theatre and regularly appears on stage as a lecturer and interviewer. Currently\, they are a MA student at the Dutch Art Institute. Their recent artist residencies include the Deltaworkers in New Orleans\, the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience in Delft and at IKSV in Istanbul.\n \nThis book is printed by Publication Studio (founded in Portland\, Oregon\, in 2009) prints and binds books one at a time on-demand\, creating original work with artists and writers we admire. “Working within an international network of eleven sister studios—who together share in the weight of global distribution—we use any means possible to help writers and artists reach a public: physical books\, an online library\, eBooks and unique social events with our writers and artists in many cities.” \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Poems Are Not a Luxury: Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Bureau is excited to partner again with the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research to bring you: \nPoems Are Not a Luxury: Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich \nInstructor: Amy Schiller \n“Poetry is liberative language\,” wrote Adrienne Rich. “Poems are not a luxury\,” argued Audre Lorde. How can we understand these claims about the intersection of poetry and politics? This course delves into the lives and works of Rich and Lorde\, as we explore their respective poetic oeuvres. To Rich and Lorde\, liberation was a through-line of experience between eros\, politics\, and language. And both express in their works understandings of gender\, sexuality\, and the body. In a famous interview between the two writers\, they discuss poetry as the language of the dark\, the feminine\, the unconscious; we will explore this tendency in their work and the ways in which their respective renderings of the feminine influenced the trajectory of feminist theory and politics in the mid and late-20th century. Their conversations with one another\, and treatments of their legacies by Claudia Rankine\, Lisa L. Moore\, Marilyn Hacker and others\, will inform our investigation of poetry as part of feminist theory. How do Rich and Lorde navigate antiracism and intersectionality among allies with different race and class affiliations? How does poetic form contribute to their political practice? Readings will include Diving Into The Wreck\, The Fact of a Doorframe\, Uses of the Erotic\, Sister Outsider\, and the Arts of the Possible\, among others. \n  \nThe Bureau sells copies of \nAdrienne Rich’s Diving Into The Wreck and Arts of the Possible\, \nAudre Lorde’s Sister Outsider\, which includes the essay “Uses of the Erotic\,” \nand other titles by both Lorde and Rich. Please support the Bureau by buying books from us! Thank you! \n  \nCourse Schedule \nJanuary 28\, February 4\, 11\, and 18\, 2020\nTuesdays\, 6:30-9:30pm\n4 sessions\n\n$315.00* \nRegistration is required. Please click here. \n  \n*Three scholarship spaces are reserved in each course because we realize that not everyone can afford to pay the full fee for our courses. Students who cannot pay the full fee should email us at info@thebrooklyninstitute.com to learn about our scholarship options. We will not ask questions about your financial situation but we do ask that you use the system in good faith and consider the needs of other students and faculty members. \n  \nThe Bureau of General Services—Queer Division is an independent\, all-volunteer queer cultural center\, bookstore\, and event space hosted by The LGBT Community Center in Manhattan. \n  \nThe Brooklyn Institute for Social Research is an organization of young scholars in New York City\, founded in November 2011 by a few then-graduate students at Columbia University with a shared interest in pedagogy and genuinely interdisciplinary conversation. We teach classes all over the city\, record a regular podcast\, run a digital humanities initiative to preserve rare and out-of-print academic texts\, and in general work frantically at any given time on a broad range of other academic and para-academic projects. We are a nonprofit\, 501(c)3 organization. \n  \n  \n
