Post Porn Politics Symposium
Saturday 14 & Sunday 15 October 2006
Volksbühne, Berlin
Warum Porno gucken? Warum nicht? Oder warum nach anderen Pornos suchen? Wie Sex-Performance theoretisieren? Wie andere Körper produzieren? Wie kritische Lüste feiern? Wie zensurlos kritisieren? Warum den Fetisch feieren? Wie Pornographie diskutieren?
Wie Pro-Sex-Feminismus und Queerismus connecten? Wie Entfremdung sexualisieren? Warum Theorie und Praxis verkomplifizieren? Warum ist Macht sexy? Und warum der Körper ein Opfer kapitalistischer Vergesellschaftung? Warum nicht lieber anders ficken, anstatt Naturzustände zurückzuersehnen? Ein Symposium, das Sex als Kulturproduktion diskutieren und problematisieren, intensivieren und feiern soll.
Auf dem Symposium Post Porn Politics setzen sich Filmemacherinnen und Performance-Künstlerinnen, queere Aktivistinnen und Filmwissenschaftlerinnen, feministische Künstlerinnen und andere Produzentinnen ins Interface mit dem dreckigen Dings namens Porno. Anstatt weiter auf traditionellen Positionen der Zensur zu bestehen, sollen historisch und kritisch, aber auch affirmativ und produktiv nach neuen Strategien aus dem Zentrum der Macht gesucht werden. Oder neue Körper in es hinein?

Confessions of a porn (fashion) victim
Interviews about the personal netporn experience.
How do you like your porn today? With the arrival of new technologies like internet, myspace and youtube, something has changed in the world of porn. It became possible for everybody to access porn and to share with people from every corner of the planet.
You can surf the net for those special sexual desires that you thought no one shared with you. Or you can show your home made work to the world. There are always people who will love you for it.
We want to know how people experienced online porn in their own life. From our porn celebrities at the artporn festival to our 'normal' neighbor, to see what they will confess to us about their online porn use.
