Résumé:
Framed by the author's account of her travels in Iceland, these essays posit inbetweenness as the most vital position from which to perceive culture as a whole, and a fluidity in national identity as the best model for writing and thinking about art and culture. The essays include fresh takes on Thoreau's Cape Cod walk, working class speech, James Schuyler and Björk, queer Russia and Robert Smithson; how-tos on writing an avant-garde poem and driving a battered Japanese car that resembles a menopausal body; and opinions on such widely ranging subjects as filmmaker Sadie Benning, actor Daniel Day-Lewis, Ted Berrigan's Sonnets, and flossing.

Résumé:
Welcome to the 50th issue of The Funambulist. For the very first time, the magazine is published both in its original anglophone version and a brand new francophone edition. As such, it is not innocent that this issue tackles the question of language. The achievements of a generation of activists and politically committed intellectuals to have our (anticolonial, antiracist, queer, feminist, among others) nomenclature surge into public imaginaries, has led to a dilution of this vocabulary’s political meanings. Each contribution of this issue thus proposes a subjective definition of a such a term, the issue acting like a useful glossary to reflect on our struggles.

« La gentrification des esprits » est un retour captivant sur les « années SIDA » et l'activisme d'ACT UP dans le New York des années 1980 et 1990. Sarah Schulman, elle-même new-yorkaise et militante de la cause LGBT, se souvient de la disparition, pratiquement du jour au lendemain, de la culture rebelle queer, des loyers à bas coûts et du prolifique mouvement artistique qui se développait au coeur de Manhattan ; remplacés par des porte-parole gays conservateurs, ainsi que par le consumérisme de masse. Sarah Schulman décrit avec précision et engagement le « remplacement d'une communauté par une autre » et le processus de gentrification qui toucha ces quartiers concomitamment à la crise du SIDA.

Résumé:
Published by Steve Lawrence and edited alongside Peter Hujar and Andrew Ullrick, Newspaper was issued in New York City between 1968 and 1971. A wordless, picture-only periodical that replicated the scale of the New York Times, Newspaper ran for 14 issues and featured the disparate practices of over 40 artists. With an editorial focus on placing appropriated material alongside new artworks, the periodical sought to codify a visual language of high and low culture that represented contemporary society in the late 1960s. While largely overlooked in art-historical discourse, Newspaper showcased many of the most revered artists working in the United States at the time, as well as an emerging coterie of queer artists.

Nobody writes about art like Estelle Hoy. Overpriced cheesecakes are the starting point for an essay on art writing; shoplifting in Berlin opens to a reflection on the economies of activist practices; fiction allows for discussion of the legacy of institutional critique, queer mélanges or quiet melancholy.

Résumé:
Nobody writes about art like Estelle Hoy. Overpriced cheesecakes are the starting point for an essay on art writing; shoplifting in Berlin opens to a reflection on the economies of activist practices; fiction allows for discussion of the legacy of institutional critique, queer mélanges or quiet melancholy. To her, the story of art becomes more nuanced in light of lyrics by Arthur Russell, the posthumous sorrow of Sylvia Plath or a poem by Yvonne Rainer. "Saké Blue" gathers Hoy’s critical essays and reviews, primarily on women artists. Echoing the work of Hervé Guibert or Camille Henrot, Hoy’s writing suggests that art can be the place for subjectivities to take shape in relation to forms, ideas and the other.

Résumé:
This ambitious publication surveys Neel’s nearly 70-year career through the lens of her radical humanism. Remarkable portraits of victims of the Great Depression, fellow residents of Spanish Harlem, leaders of political organizations, queer artists, visibly pregnant women, and members of New York’s global diaspora reveal that Neel viewed humanism as both a political and philosophical ideal. In addition to these paintings of famous and unknown sitters, the more than 100 works highlighted include Neel’s emotionally charged cityscapes and still lifes as well as the artist’s erotic pastels and watercolors. Essays tackle Neel’s portrayal of LGBTQ subjects; her unique aesthetic language, which merged abstraction and figuration; and her commitment to progressive politics, civil rights, feminism, and racial diversity.

Résumé:
De Muybridge aux sœurs Wachowski, de Proust à la Queer théorie et du cubisme à la révolution numérique, Speed Racer raconte sous un nouveau jour l’histoire de l’accélération du monde. Une histoire de la vitesse qui n’interroge pas que ses conséquences économiques, sociales et techniques, mais décrypte comment celles-ci prennent forme dans l’art et la pop culture. De la peinture au cinéma en passant par la littérature, la musique, le jeu vidéo ou le manga, Julien Abadie signe un essai trépidant qui, tout en prenant comme personnage central le film culte Speed Racer, peut se lire comme une plaidoirie pour une contre-accélération, le manifeste trans de toute une bit génération.

Résumé:
This book bridges generations of powerful Indigenous feminist thinking to demonstrate the movement’s cruciality for today. ''Indigenous feminists'' in the first edition fought for feminism to be considered a valid and essential intellectual and activist position. The second edition animated Indigenous feminisms through real-world applications. This third edition, curated by award-winning scholar Gina Starblanket, reflects and celebrates Indigenous feminism’s intergenerational longevity through the changing landscape of anti-colonial struggle and theory. Diverse contributors examine Indigenous feminism’s ongoing relevance to contemporary contexts and debates, including queer and Two-Spirit approaches to decolonization, gendered and sexualized violence, storytelling and narrative, land-based presence, Black and Indigenous relationalities and more. Feminism has much to offer Indigenous women, and all Indigenous Peoples, in their struggles against oppression.

Résumé:
In "On Activism, friendships, and fighting" veteran organizer and social worker Benjamin Heim Shepard traces a pressing dynamic of social movements: friendship and conflict. The project builds on oral histories with more than thirty movement organizers—from AIDS, queer, trade union, community, Occupy, and harm reduction-based movements—reflecting on the lessons, meanings, and future directions of movements and collective organizing efforts. "There is a hunger for radical history – to give credit to past struggles, to learn from our mistakes and to improve our strategies for the future," writes Lesley Wood. Oral histories trace the stories of these movements. The book goes in depth into the reasons and ways the interviewees became involved in activism, the friendships they formed, and the conflicts they faced.
