SUMMARY:The Pleasure Project Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 15th at 9PM for the launch party of The Ple
 asure Project\, one of the emerging projects funded by the QTRL this year!
 \n\nRegister at uoft.me/pleasure-project-launch\n\nMore about The Pleasure
  Project:\nThe Pleasure Project is organized around a key set of questions
 : How do LGBTIQ2S+ and QTBIPOC understood pleasure in the afterlives of se
 ttler colonialism\, slavery\, and apartheid? How is pleasure used to resis
 t and critique but also to create social worlds that evade surveillance in
  the face of LGBTIQ2S+ and QTBIPOC structural violence? What is at stake w
 hen an analytic of pleasure interrogates complexities of racialized sexual
  subjectivities? What significance does pleasure hold for expanded underst
 andings of freedom and politics? The Pleasure Project explores the ways in
  which scholars\, artists\, and sex workers\, for instance\, utilize pleas
 ure as method and praxis\, re-directing us to the messiness of the body an
 d the sensorial regimes. We are interested in examining how an analytic of
  pleasure can expand and disrupt the boundaries of queerness and queer the
 ory by moving us beyond binary frameworks. In this project\, we will not o
 nly examine pleasure as a politic\, a method\, a praxis\, or a component o
 f ‘self-care\,’ we will explore the embodied\, somatic\, messy and fle
 shy sexual practices that people engage in to access pleasure. We are inte
 rested in the relationships between pleasure and the materiality of the bo
 dy and our lived experiences. The Pleasure Project argues that pleasure\, 
 erotics\, sex\, and joy must be central to any form of social justice work
  as we collectively imagine new social worlds as an urgent political proje
 ct.
