In the lecture feminist counsellor Yana Ziferblat will discuss the background of voluntary engagement in the usage of force and humiliation as part of the erotic experience. She will explore the historical background of political engagement with BDSM in the feminist movement, the psychological background of personal engagement with it, and the coming together of the personal and political “in the dungeon”. She will inquire into the personal-political roots of erotic, gender and love, and how those influence our erotic choices, and finally the dangers of non-reflexive BDSM, the ways of becoming aware of the frequently hidden needs of those involved, and the utter importance and tools of on-going dialogue and reflection about the relations between shame, pain and pleasure will be discussed. The lecture will be held in English.
