L'atelier EFiGiES Aix-Marseille a fêté sa dernière séance de l'année 2013/ 2014 avec la rencontre du lundi 16 juin (14 h-17h) à la MMSH (Aix-en-Provence) . Nous avons eu le plaisir d'écouter Emmanuel Galland, doctorant à l'IMAF (Institut des Mondes Africains) : « Usages et représentation maléfiques de la sexualité à Yaoundé (Cameroun) » ;  et de profiter de la présence dans la région de Clare Hemmings, Professeure de Théorie Féministe à la LSE (London School of Economics)  : « Considering Emma Goldman: Queer Feminist History and Affective Method ».Résumé de la séance :Clare Hemmings (LSE, Londres) Considering Emma Goldman: Queer Feminist History and Affective MethodThis communication considers the importance of the anarchist thinker and activist Emma Goldman (1869–1940) for contemporary feminist theory and politics. Initially concerned with how Goldman’s views on power and change help us reconsider our own history and present, the author shifts gears in the course of the article to think aspects of her thought that are less easily reclaimed. Exploring her own and others’ desire for Goldman to resolve current difficulties within and beyond feminism, the author highlights the problems this desire presents for both our understanding of the past, and our ability adequately to engage the present. Focusing instead on the importance of fantasy in our accounting for the relationship between past and present, the author explores our desires to consign judgement and essence to another era.Hemmings C.
