Rage Rumbles 🏴‍☠️ 🏳️‍🌈THE IMPLICATIONS OF "QUEER"I have been catching up on the reading of my former (queer) professor and I am happy to find he has continued in being the queer pioneer he always was.We are used, if we know anything about "queer", to the slogan "queer means attack". But what is it queer attacks? The essay I read suggests it is "identity". Yes, that's right, in a world chock full of people who want to make the (sometimes essentialising) claim that they simply "are" things, all kinds of queer people and theorists claim that "queer" is that which attacks the very notion of "identity" and destabilises the intellectual ground on which "identity" can seem convincing.I am going to write a book next called "Sexual Autonomy". In brief, it is a book about how sexual autonomy is at the heart of political freedom and is, in fact, a necessary component of it. I think the queer insight I just mentioned here is part of that. For we cannot be free if we lock ourselves up in incarcerating notions about sex. For example, some people think there are things called "gay sex" and "heterosexual sex". These exist based on the idea that there are definitive "men" and definitive "women". The intellectual position "queer" says no to this. It says these identifications are rhetoric not fact, fiction (which is and can be for purposes) and not inherent reality. Queer says knowledge, all knowledge, is a tool of power and made up to get somewhere rather than reflecting an idealistically conjured "reality". Nature does not distinguish between "gay sex" and "heterosexual sex". There is just sex. Nature does not distinguish between "man" and "woman". There are just humans. Nature does not distinguish between reproductive or recreational sex. There is just sex.So what queer says here is "Ask yourself what people are doing with their words and why they imagine the world in one way and not another." There are not only two types of anything (and these two types are not opposites either). Queer, if it is anything, is (expanding) diversity. It (I hope) makes you think.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queer</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbtq</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/lgbtqia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbtqia</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transgender</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/nonbinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonbinary</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gay</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/lesbian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lesbian</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/women" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#women</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/anthropology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anthropology</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/bi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bi</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/pansexual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pansexual</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/queerwriters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queerwriters</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/queertheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queertheory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anarchy</a>

Radical Anthropology🌗Tuesday May 20🌘 18:30 London time ZOOM only with <a href="https://c.im/tags/VivekVenkataraman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VivekVenkataraman</a> 'The Meaning and Dividends of Man the Hunter'Vivek writes: 'The phrase Man the Hunter is associated with sexist theories of human evolution, but wildly disparate use of the phrase has led to unnecessary scientific disagreement and popular misunderstanding. In this talk, which follows a recently posted collaborative paper with other hunter-gatherer scholars, I ask: what does Man the Hunter mean? I distinguish three historical meanings of Man the Hunter; first, the 1966 conference; second, popularized sexist theories of human origins; and third, the human behavioral ecology of hunter-gatherers. I then trace the historical development of these three meanings of Man the Hunter, situating their origins in evolutionary biology, ethnology, feminist studies, ethology, genetics, and other disciplines. This allows us to ask: how are these meanings connected intellectually? After presenting a surprising answer to this question, I conclude by offering suggestions for improving scientific and popular discourse regarding Man the Hunter.'Vivek is a biological anthropologist who employs evolutionary approaches to the study of foraging behavior, energetics, and health. He earned his PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Dartmouth College and conducted postdoctoral work at Harvard University and the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse. He is currently Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology at the University of Calgary. His present research focuses in Malaysia, where he is one of the Principal Investigators of the Orang Asli Health and Lifeways Project (OA HeLP), which studies the rise of chronic non-infectious diseases over time due to rapidly changing environments.
