Fell in love again, and again, and again. Janvier 2026

« Toi dont le trône est d’arc-en-ciel, immortelle Aphrodita, fille de Zeus, tisseuse de ruses, je te supplie de ne point dompter mon âme, ô Vénérable, par les angoisses et les détresses. Mais viens, si jamais, et plus d’une fois, entendant ma voix, tu l’as écoutée, et, quittant la maison de ton père, tu es venue, ayant attelé ton char d’or. Et c’était de beaux passereaux rapides qui te conduisaient. Autour de la terre sombre ils battaient des ailes, descendus du ciel à travers l’éther. Ils arrivèrent aussitôt, et toi, ô Bienheureuse, ayant souri de ton visage immortel, tu me demandas ce qui m’était advenu, et quelle faveur j’implorais, et ce que je désirais le plus dans mon âme insensée. « Quelle Persuasion veux-tu donc attirer vers ton amour ? Qui te traite injustement, Psappha ? Car celle qui te fuit promptement te poursuivra, celle qui refuse tes présents t’en offrira, celle qui ne t’aime pas t’aimera promptement et même malgré elle. » Viens vers moi encore maintenant, et délivre-moi des cruels soucis, et tout ce que mon cœur veut accomplir, accomplis-le, et sois Toi-Même mon alliée » Sapphô poète[sse] de Lesbos

Pour l'amour des mots : amour saphique

Wow "I don't fully agree that you always need to have representation in everything. You can create such beautiful things from everything."

A conversation beside yourself

"A conversation needs a space. A conversation is a space. I feel as if I have been in conversation with Judith Butler in one way or another since I took up my pen and began to write my way into existence. Judith and I previously had a conversation almost a decade ago, over email; the editors of the journal Sexualities asked me to ask Judith about Gender Trouble. I remember so well your response to the first question, which was that you found questions about Gender Trouble “odd” because you “never reread” your own books. I remember being rather impressed by the firmness of the “never”! And yet we talked of how books have many lives in part because of where they go, who they find. Maybe today we might talk of how our own lives become entangled with the lives of books as readers, as writers, as both. Most of my conversations with Judith, admittedly, though, have been inside my own head. Some of these conversations came out in words, on pages, as citation. Concepts can be craft: the concepts Judith has given us, shaped and sharpened by use, provide materials to help us to do our own work. I think of how I reused your definition of performativity from Bodies that Matter to describe what I called non-performativity: how words do not bring into effect what they name (words like diversity, for instance).

To be in conversation with someone else’s work over a sustained period of time can be a queer kind of intimacy, you are not on the same page but you catching something, a thought or an idea that does not come to you with crisp edges, as clarity or revelation, but more slowly or gradually in turning the pages, by sustaining the engagement. Perhaps how we write together sometimes in proximity, sometimes not, is another way of talking about the project of living together. In Undoing Gender, you write “I am speaking to those of us who are living in certain ways beside ourselves, whether it is in sexual passion, or emotional grief or political rage. In a sense, a predicament is to understand what kind of community is composed of those who are beside themselves.” You keep teaching me in your work, including in your most recent book, What World is This? In which you use the phrase, “strangers in grief,” that collectivity can be a way of being beside ourselves, beside each other, responding as best we can to a crisis that is shared. Sharing is not always warm or fuzzy, or happy; it can be hard and painful and bumpy."

“la gestion, par le pénal, d’une situation problématique entraîne une perte, pour la collectivité, de la possibilité de changer ce qui l’a rendu possible (situation et normes sociales). Par ailleurs, le système pénal ne répond pas, par définition, au besoin, pourtant largement documenté, des victimes de reprendre la maîtrise de leur vie”. Gwenola Ricordeau

“Les personnes directement concernées (la victime et le délinquant) ont des rôles passifs dans le règlement de leur conflit. Le « vol des conflits » est une notion que Hulsman emprunte à… est généralisé dans le système pénal. Les individus deviennent des incompétents sociaux pour régler leurs conflits. Ce sont les intérêts du système pénal lui-même qui vont déterminer la manière de traiter le conflit.”
