I look forward to the Feminist Lecture Program's events every week. Tomorrow's pay-what-you-can lecture is about abortion in the Middle Ages.

outsavvy.com/event/24283/by-ho

Whether you attend live or book the recording only, you have access to the lecture for a week.

OutSavvyBy Hook or by Crook: Abortions in the Middle Ages Tickets - - OutSavvyFLP welcomes back Noam Yadin Evron for a timely and important lecture on the medieval history of abortion… CLASS DESCRIPTION In the Medieval world, as in the modern one, abortion and contraception were a part of life. The fact that abortions were performed, and the methods used to perform them, are evident in legal, religious, and medical documents, both textual and visual. Those who administered them, as well as those who underwent them, came from all walks of life, and in either case, did so with significant risk. Tracing the practice of Medieval abortions is difficult, and the evidence is not always forthcoming. But finding it allows us to trace silent networks of solidarity, agency, and care. Then as now, not everyone saw the termination of pregnancy as a legitimate thing. On a theoretical and moral level, we see questions like: Who has the authority to control the progression of a pregnancy? When does a foetus become a person? Who is the main person affected by an act of abortion? The answers to these questions were far from unanimous. This lecture will introduce both the discussion on and the reality of abortions in the European Middle Ages. It will ask what we can learn about the attitudes towards women, sexuality, and authority from these debates and practices. It will also challenge the concept that the growing threat in the global North of restricting access to abortions or forbidding them altogether is “Medieval”, as it is so often referred to. These practices are not without their historical precedents, but their contemporary manifestation, especially in the US, is completely modern, and in many ways significantly more extreme than their assumed Medieval roots. ABOUT OUR LECTURER Noam Yadin-Evron is a lecturer of art history and museum studies. Her PhD looked at the early Church conceptions of wealth and poverty, and how these were manifested and embodied in its art. Her MA is in Medieval art history and gender studies. She is based in South East London.

TOUS À ZANZIBAR. John Brunner. 1968.
Le XXIe siècle avant l'heure. Ses Villes où les gens dorment – légalement – dans les rues, où le terrorisme est un sport et les émeutes urbaines un spectacle. Surpeuplé, démentiel, tout proche.
2010, la surpopulation a atteint un niveau extrême, annihilant toute notion de vie privée et légitimant de sombres pratiques eugénistes.

BETTY. 2003
et OPÉRATION NAPOLÈON. 1999. Arnaldur Indridason.
Un grand maître du polar islandais.
Pour le premier un exercice de style surprenant. Mais chut ! Un roman noir lancinant et brillant.
Le deuxième vous tiendra en haleine jusqu'à la fin. Mais pourquoi les amerloques veulent récupérer la carcasse d'un avion allemand de la 2éme guerre mondiale qui émerge d'un glacier en Islande ?

C'est dimanche et la semaine prochaine, je co-interviens dans un colloque à propos d'homicides intrafamiliaux.
La communication étant rédigée, ma lecture du jour, c'est : "Pour en finir avec la famille. Abolir, prendre soin, s’émanciper", de Sophie Lewis (trad. Noémie Grunenwald).
C'est un petit ouvrage de synthèse autant que réflexif, très accessible et qui se lit de façon fluide. L'autrice va un peu trop vite pour évoquer certaines positions à mon goût, mais le livre permet de bien cartographier une partie de la littérature sur le sujet et aborde de façon stimulante de nombreuses facettes de l'abolition de la famille, invitant à se questionner sous différents angles.

Parmi les publications citées, disponibles en français, il faudra vraiment que j'aille lire "Abolir la famille", de M. E. O’Brien (après l'avoir lue dans un registre de fiction avec "Tout pour tout le monde").

Quatrième de couverture : "Biologique ou choisie, traditionnelle ou réinventée, nucléaire ou élargie, Sophie Lewis n’épargne aucune famille. En organisant la pénurie et la privatisation du soin, du soutien et de l’attention, la structure familiale entrave la réappropriation collective des moyens de reproduction, seul chemin possible vers une société plus égalitaire. Dès lors, il ne suffit pas de faire famille autrement, mais il faut nous libérer de cette institution. Dans ce manifeste plein d’humour, l’autrice parcourt l’histoire du mouvement pour l’abolition de la famille : du socialisme utopique au féminisme radical en passant par la théorie communiste et les luttes contre l’imposition raciste du modèle familial." Traduction de Noémie Grunenwald.

«…les fascistes ajustent leurs positions politiques aux circonstances, ce qui leur confère la capacité inouïe d’affirmer avec force et conviction tout et son contraire. Les fascistes ne promettent rien et tiendront toujours leurs promesses.»

Danielle Cain arrive dans la ville de Freedom, qui est squattée par des anarchistes. Elle essaie de comprendre ce qui est arrivé à son meilleur ami, qui s'est suicidé après son départ de la ville.
Freedom est sous la protection d'un cerf rouge qui a été invoqué mais celui-ci a l'air de se retourner contre ses invocateurs...

Après ma lecture de "Un pays de fantômes", j'avais très envie de lire à nouveau cette autrice.
Je suis entrée facilement dans cette histoire. Danielle est un personnage qui m'a immédiatement plue. J'ai aussi adoré la petite bande de Freedom (spécialement ).
Les événements s'enchaînent vite (c'est un tout petit roman de 128 pages), l'autrice nous laisse avec quelques zones d'ombre mais on repart avec une bande plutôt soudée. C'est comme le pilote d'une série. Je n'ai pas été trop frustrée par la fin mais j'ai hâte de lire la suite !

Join us this evening for an exciting talk on Measuring the Night Sky with guest speaker John Wilmot. John Wilmot's interest in astronomy began in childhood with constellation identification in Cub Scouts. After a period of casual observation with small telescopes, his passion deepened in 2004 with the purchase of a serious telescope and subsequent involvement in a local astronomy club. Following a brief hiatus, he resumed the hobby, quickly completing the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada's 'Explore the Universe' program. Currently, he is engaged in sketching the Messier objects and serves as a director of the Barrie Astronomy Club, where he presents on astronomical topics. John has also delivered presentations at the Barrie Public Library, sharing his enthusiasm for the night sky with both adults and children.

When: Tonight (Friday, March 28, 2025)
Time: 7:30 PM
