Lisboa, secreta e misteriosa.
Na
Baixa, entre restaurantes trendy e
pastéis de bacalhau com queijo da Serra (aarrrghh!), um tesouro (semi)
escondido. Uma maravilha pequenina. A Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira. Muitas vezes, está fechada,
com um ramo (de oliveira, claro) à porta. Mas, se a encontrar aberta, não hesite, não
perca. A igreja original, pasme-se, foi construída em 1262, mas a traça actual
é de 1762, após o terramoto de 1755. Uma devoção especial por Santa Rita de
Cássia, padroeira das causas perdidas. Lisboa e o seu património não podem ser
uma causa perdida – depende de si, nunca o esqueça.
Histórias de mulheres: bonecas de um libanês.

Carlo Massoud

Aqui
há um par de semanas o Le Monde
trouxe uma extensa notícia sobre Carlo Massoud (https://www.carlomassoud.com/), um designer formado nas
melhores escolas do monde e que trabalhava no epicentro do world, New York
City, até decidir fixar-se em 2013 na sua terra natal, o Líbano. Aí desenvolve
vários projectos e recupera outros que tinha em mente criativa. Entre eles, Arab Dolls, uma série de bonecas, em
doirado, branco ou negro, que têm por referencial (esta do referencial foi bonita) a
condição das mulheres no mundo árabe. Condição que é má, pior que péssima, como
sabemos, sem que se registem sinais de melhoria ou abrandamento. Fazer estas
bonequinhas d’ouro pode parecer uma puerilidade de luxo. Fazê-lo vivendo no
Líbano, não é – é um acto de loucura e coragem. Da coragem que há nos grandes
gestos de loucura. Da loucura que há nos grandes gestos de coragem.

Hygiene da Alimentação.
O
trabalhador do campo e o operário precisam não só de maior cópia de alimentos;
mas também lhes é necessário um regímen mais animalizado, mais farto do que
precisa o homem de gabinete, o caixeiro e o empregado de secretaria.

Vibrator Nation, de Lynn Comella.
Review
"Sex shops were my entry into a brazen new world
of gender and sexuality, eventually channeling my career in adult film. Lynn
Comella's masterful book documents the 'sex-positive' ethos of gender and
sexual progress and its complex junctures within capitalism, feminism, and
education. Recounting a pivotal moment, Vibrator Nation is a fascinating
history lesson for the uninitiated, a gift to all who were there, and a love
letter to those who call these sex shops home."--Jiz Lee, editor of
"Coming Out Like a Porn Star: Essays on Pornography, Protection, and
Privacy "
"No one is better placed than Lynn Comella to take us on a journey through the evolution of feminist-owned sex-toy stores. Through years of interviews and participant-observation, she brilliantly traces how the difficult conversations about race, class, and gender among feminist sex-toy store owners, their workers, and customers created a new kind of sexual public sphere. Vibrator Nation will brilliantly inform all future efforts to address the difficulties of blending progressive politics with capitalism, social change, and profit making."--Constance Penley, coeditor of "The Feminist Porn Book: The Politics of Producing Pleasure "
"[A] fascinating survey of the evolving culture of sexuality in America and of a small band of pro-sex feminists who were on the front lines of the sexual revolution."--Vernon Rosario"Gay & Lesbian Review/ Worldwide" (09/01/2017)
"Vibrator Nation celebrates the cast of audacious women who led the lusty feminist revolution in San Francisco: Blank (who died in 2016), Susie Bright, Carol Queen and other sex-positive pioneers. A crash course in contemporary gender and sexuality studies, Comella's book could be a television series every bit as juicy as Sex in the City or Transparent."--Laura Frost"Times Higher Education" (09/06/2017)
"Vibrator Nation is an engaging expedition across more than 30 years of the history of feminist sex stores in the US. Comella provides a multilayered context, detailing the cultural climates, sex education histories and social positioning of female sexuality that the stores operated and flourished under.... An inspiring read, Vibrator Nation will engage those interested in the history of sexual pleasure as well as provide valuable information for those researching feminist activism and the broader field of female sexuality."
--Caroline West"Screening Sex" (09/07/2017)
"Vibrator Nation is an essential read for anyone interested in opening an adult boutique, or who already owns one and is looking for inspiration--and for anyone who is interested in the history of adult boutiques and what they might look like in the years to come. It's apparent Comella has a deep respect and admiration for the people she interviewed and for their missions."--Sherri L. Shaulis"AVN Magazine" (09/01/2017)
"It's equal parts social history, popular culture, business and psychology and, while amply sourced, reads like a novel populated by memorable true-life characters."--John Przybys"Las Vegas Review-Journal" (09/16/2017)

Viva México!
Pára,
pára tudo. Mano Manuel, que sabe destas coisas boas, sumarentas, chamou-me a
atenção para a exposição literalmente FANTÁSTICA que vai no Museu da Cidade (Palácio
Pimenta, ao Campo Grande). Atenção: fecha a 1 de Outubro, ou seja, está quase a
partir. O México gore, sangrento e
devoto, uma certa hispanidade levada aos limites do grotesco, com mortes e
feridos pelo meio, sexo, violência, fé e crença, tudo, mas tudo o que mais
existe do bom e do melhor. Do Carnaval à Luta Livre – Máscaras e Devoções Mexicanas, comissariada por Anthony
Shelton e Nicola Levell, dois antropólogos de renome. No final da mostra, as
fabulosas e piramidais fotografias da genial Lourdes Grobet, de quem voltaremos a
falar aqui no Malomil, uma e outra vez, até que a voz nos doa. A consulta das
fotografias (algumas de má qualidade, perdão) não dispensa, por nada deste
mundo bizarro, a visita à exposição. Já
disse que é FANTÁSTICA?
