Eroticism As Power

Published on: 28th June, 2021

Let's get some eroticism all up in your business...!

Taking Audre Lorde's seminal work from 1978, The Erotic as Power, Kim and Luca talk about eroticism and this is a BIG ONE.

Every oppression in our history must corrupt or distort the sources of power that provide energy for change. (Audre Lorde)

Among other things, we cover...

What's the difference between erotic and pornographic?

Pleasure Activism and the work of Adrienne Maree Brown

Ethical pornography and Tristan Taormino

Artists whose work has inspired and moved the discourse around female and queer eroticism on, like Tracey Emin and Nan Goldin.

About the Podcast

How Not
A Space for Good Troublemakers
How Not is the brainchild of two gobby Scottish creatives, Kim Macari and Luca Manning, who like to talk about the BIG stuff. We thought you might like to listen...So here we are. Our mission is to always be Good Troublemakers, to think big and to ask - How Not?!

Each episode, we pick something BIG to talk about. Sometimes that's an issue or idea that's been keeping us awake at night (like the right to Protest, The Punk Movement or Universal Basic Income...) and sometimes it's a person who think is bold and brilliant - someone worthy of the title Good Troublemaker (like Keith Haring, Marsha P. Johnson or Dererk Jarman...)
