QUEER TOSQUELLES – Anti-Fascism, Vagabonding Psychiatry, Non-Identitarian Lives

The transversal audio season presents the lectures of the international conference “QUEER TOSQUELLES - Anti-Fascism, Vagabonding Psychiatry, Non-Identitarian Lives” that took place this june at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne (KHM). The conference brought together researchers and artists working on the genealogies of Catalan/French psychiatrist François Tosquelles's  (1912–1994) manifold surrounds and exploring the potentials of his practice today. Starting from the practices of Tosquelles, who influenced Félix Guattari, Frantz Fanon and many others, the talks engage with the history and actuality of revolutionary, anti-fascist practices from institutional analysis to political philosophy. Here, queerness emerges in many facets: through Tosquelles's insistence on the deconstruction of the nuclear family and the importance of other forms of making kin, through the various rhythms of vagabonding, through the weird, the strange, the non-sensical and the non-normalized, through a political philosophy of multiplicity, through a queering practice that traverses all non-identitarian forms of life.

New episodes with Isabell Lorey, Angela Melitopoulos, Carles Guerra, Stefan Nowotny, Anne Querrien, Henning Schmidgen, Elena Vogman, Francesco Salvini and Gerald Raunig will be published on Wednesdays at 18:00 CET, starting on 30 October 2024.
