Podcast: Launch of Errant Journal – Embodying Resistance with Ghiwa Sayegh
If you missed the launch of Errant Journal’s 7th issue, Embodying Resistance, listen to the new crossover podcast episode here. The podcast includes a live interview with guest editor Ghiwa Sayegh, recorded at Framer Framed in Amsterdam this November.
This issue of Errant Journal aims to interrogate the role of the body in strategies of resistance from below. Taking Palestine as a starting point, the ongoing genocide committed by Israel and other colonial powers and the people’s continued struggle for liberation inform the issue’s thinking and praxis.
From this political standpoint, it explores the ways in which bodies – that are sexualised, criminalised, racialised, crip – have been able to divert and subvert in order to fight back. To resist from the body is what crip theory tells us is a matter of need. It is a body that no longer fears deviation, specifically because of how cheap our lives are considered and how dangerous our futures are treated. It is about finding community and kinship when we are told we are alone.
Ghiwa Sayegh is an anarcha-queer writer, independent publisher, and archivist from Beirut. They are the founding editor of Kohl, a Journal for Body and Gender Research and a co-founder of Intersectional Knowledge Publishers.
