Katherine Angel | Sex will be better tomorrow

Consent: since the MeToo movement, this has been the holy grail. If only women said what they wanted loud and clear, all problems would be solved. But can women in our current culture really know, let alone say, what they want? Katherine Angel doubts it. Using examples from research, literature, pornography and films, she shows how power and violence implicitly affect us, how desires only arise in interaction with others and how eroticism is accompanied by mystery. Not without irony, Foucault promised in 1976 that sex will be better tomorrow. Not until we reconsider desire, vulnerability and autonomy.
