Eroticizing the Struggle against Precarity

Abstract

In this article we consider bodies that are in protest: we believe that protests are moments of alliance that offer a potential to think about eroticity and its possible circulations. To this end, we analyze Butlerian notions such as the ecstatic condition of all bodies and the possibilities for action that this allows. We use these notions to reflect on legal mechanisms that regulate public space. We thus analyze not only eroticity in the space of appearance, but also the space of appearance as a consequence of erotic bonds, of this between sexed bodies in alliance.
