Lessie Jo Frazier: Edge of Desire
(Conferences / Seminars / Lectures)
The Edge of Desire: Visual Regimes of Fascism and Dissidence
Feminist theorists of visual culture have pointed to the edge as a site revealing, and at times challenging, the politics of the visible. This talk by Lessie Jo Frazier considers questions of gender and sexuality in the embodied politics of human rights activists' challenges to counter-revolutionary, fascist re-makings of what could be perceived and what should be politically desired.
Dr. Frazier is Associate Professor of Gender Studies and History at Indiana University. She is a coeditor of Gender's Place: Feminist Anthropologies of Latin America. The Edge of Things: Dissident Art Under Repressive Regimes is on view through January 5 at the MSU Broad.
