It has been my pleasure to have Azzah join me, and I know, my listeners, that you will enjoy the episode. She has conducted transformational seminars on five continents, including countries such as Australia, Russia, the United States, Canada, England, Mexico, Kenya, Japan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Korea, and Thailand.Īzzah has been featured in numerous international media, including television, radio, and newspapers in Japan, New York, Russia, Mexico, and many more. Her work experience spans more than 30 years. After leaving Australia, she lived and studied in Asia for 23 years. Her first teachers were the Australian Aboriginal Elders, whom she greatly respects.
In her early years, Azzah grew up on a ranch in the Australian countryside. The book concludes by theorizing currents of sadism that, when pursued ethically, can animate unique forms of interpersonal and social care.In this week's episode, I am thrilled to welcome the lovely Azzah Manukova from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Putting the psychoanalytic theory of Jean Laplanche in conversation with queer of color critique, performance studies, and philosophy, Sexuality Beyond Consent proposes that enduring the strange in ourselves, not to master trauma but to rub up against it, can open us up to encounters with opacity. Moving between clinical and cultural case studies, Saketopoulou takes up theatrical and cinematic works such as Slave Play and The Night Porter, to chart how trauma and sexuality join forces to surge through the aesthetic domain. Saketopoulou thereby shows why sexualities beyond consent may be worth risking-and how risk can solicit the future. Central to the transformational possibilities of trauma is a queer form of consent, limit consent, that is not about guarding the self but about risking experience. The erotics of racism offers a paradigmatic example of how what is proximal to violation may become an unexpected site of flourishing. Radical alternatives to consent and trauma.Īrguing that we have become culturally obsessed with healing trauma, Sexuality Beyond Consent calls attention to what traumatized subjects do with their pain.
