Persis Bekkering (NL, Brussels based) is a writer and critic, engaging with a wide spectrum of artistic disciplines. In this talk, writer Persis Bekkering aims to take a closer look at the concept of love, reading Kollontai together with a very different notion, that of “sex negativity”, as developed by psychoanalytic theories. Sex negativity refers to the fundamental antagonism on which the social order is structured, a gap which is revealed by sex. Venue: KHiO Library. Photo: Stine Sampers
