ABSTRACT
We come alive: making exilic spaces for remixing social life
This panel brings together four artist/activist/scholars who study and create sites of resistance, exile, refuge and release for people who cannot fit neatly into mainstream social categories. Focusing on nightlife as a common theme, the panel highlights examples of “exilic spaces” created by club culture in particular. When these physical and discursive spaces are carved out by particular acts, people create and share cultural/material resources on terms not dictated by mainstream society. In exilic spaces the uncivilized make the most of their independence from the constraints of “civil life”: the unruly and vulgar embrace glitz and glamour, playing with categories of gender, sexuality, race and class. Each speaker will present for 10 minutes and the remaining time will be a panel discussion.
