Simone Revue Writing Club

Simone // Revista / Revue / Journal presents:

“Simone Revue Writing Club” 

What is feminism? What is a feminist text? What is an activist text? What is the politics of literature? What makes a text democratic? 

How do we disarm to end violence? 

How do we disarm sexism, racism, speciesism? 

Today more than ever we need to reflect on what we read and write. 

To disarm is to create strategies for a present without violence. Equality is created. To write democratically is to fight and resist. If we understand the politics that organize what we write we can dismantle violence. A literary workshop that disarms by creating another possible world. We have settled definitively in word and speech. Today no one is silent. Nothing and nobody is going to stop us. 

As Rancière says, politics of literature implies that literature intervenes as literature in this carving up of space and time, the visible and the invisible, speech and noise. It intervenes in the relationship between practices and forms of visibility and modes of saying that carves up one or more common worlds. 

We invite everyone that has published in Simone to join.
