How should we talk about desire, power and equality in the wake of the
#Me Too debate?
For Carolin Emcke, bestselling author and winner of the German Peace
Prize, the debate demonstrates one thing above all: a conversation
about abuse and sexuality has emerged that can no longer be stifled.
Too many questions remain unanswered: which images and concepts shape
our imaginings of desire and revulsion? How is violence exposed and
obstructed? How do the norms and structures into which men, women and
those in between must fit get constructed? What gets hushed up, and
who remains powerless? How can the plurality of desire and sexuality
be expressed, without sacrificing their intricacies?
By interrogating her own experiences as well as social practices,
music and literature, Emcke demonstrates the enduring complexity of
the relationship between sexuality and truth.
