Toxic Loves, Impossible Futures is an homage to a constellation of
women writers, feminists, and creators whose voices draw a map of
our current global political-environmental crisis and the
interlinked massive violence, enabled by the denigration of life
and human relationships. In a world, in which ""a woman's voice""
exists in bodies called in to occupy important positions in
corporations, government, cultural and academic institutions, to
work in factories, to join the army, but whose bodies are
systematically rendered vulnerable by gender violence and by the
double burden imposed on us to perform both productive and
reproductive labor, I ask what is the task of thought and form in
contemporary feminist situated knowledge? Toxic Loves, Impossible
Futures is a collection of essays rethinking feminist issues in the
current context of the production of redundant populations, the
omnipresence of the technosphere and environmental devastation,
toxic relationships, toxic nationalisms, and more. These
reflections and dialogues are an urgent attempt to resist the
present in the company of the voices of women like bell hooks,
Sarah Ahmed, Leslie Jamison, Lina Meruane, Leanne Simpson, Chris
Kraus, AlaIde Foppa, Lorena Wolffer, Sayak Valencia, Pip Day,
Veronica GonzAlez, Eimear McBride, Simone de Beauvoir, Elena
Poniatowska, Susan Sontag, Margaret Randall, Simone Weil, Arundhati
Roy, Marta Lamas, Paul B. Preciado, Dawn Paley, Raquel GutiErrez,
etc. Toxic Loves, Impossible Futures continues the discussion on
how to undo misogyny and dismantle heteropatriarchy's sublimating
and denigrating tricks against women, which are intrinsically
linked to colonialism and violence against the Earth.
