A READING OF QUEER SPORTS WRITING BY JENNIFER DOYLEWITH VIDEO BY MARRIAGE (MATH BASS + WU TSANG)
Tuesday, June 9, 2009, 8:30 – 9:30 pm
@ IMPRENTA (NEXT DOOR TO SILVER PLATTER)
705 S. Rampart (at 7th), LA CA 90057
X-TRA Summer 2009 RELEASE PARTY
Vol. 11, no. 4
I will read from "Voici Mon Épée," a performative essay about - a Whitminian Ode to - the fútbol scene in Lafayette Park, which is right down the street from Imprenta & The Silver Platter. This essay is a part of Municipal de Fútbol a collaborative art/design project about soccer in East & South Los Angeles. It represents an extension of my writing here, and my critical work on art and sport spectacle which is featured in this issue of X-TRA. After the reading, I will talk with the audience about what it means to write about sports from a queer feminist perspective, and also about the forms of border policing which seek to regulate and control the fundamentally migratory pleasures of local fútbol communities.
Come to the reading & stay for The Wildness (great queer club in the space next door)
