Description
Summary:Drawing from a multiplicity of contexts (drag king workshops, consciousness raising groups and artistic performances), I will analyze how touching practices are mobilized and interpreted by social actors as gender (de)construction devices. The issues presented in this paper are both theoretical and analytical. I will propose a theoretical dialogue between two antagonistic traditions in feminism, neo-materialism and postmodernism, and gender, language and sexuality studies around the possible intertwinings between discourse and bodily materiality. I will show how a multimodal approach to gender takes into account what I call a poetic and a politics of tactile experience exceeding the temporality and the spatiality of interactions and to think about gender through the lens of sensoriality, experience and imagination.
