Devenir Chienne
Itziar Ziga

« Je ne revendique pas la féminité des gentilles filles mais bien celle des chiennes méchantes. Une féminité extrême, radicale, subversive, spectaculaire, insurgée, explosive, parodique, sale, jamais impeccable, féministe, politique, précaire, combative, incommodante, vénère, pas coiffée, au mascara qui coule, bâtarde, décalée, perdue, prêtée, volée, déviante, excessive, exaltée, malpolie, canaille, vicieuse, marginale, trompeuse… » En plus de rendre bouffonnes les normes hétéropatriarcales, Devenir chienne répond vertement au féminisme le plus conformiste, institutionnel, bourgeois, blanc, puritain, qui cumule les discriminations envers les travailleur·se·s du sexe, les personnes trans et racisé·e·s. Itziar Ziga démonte dans une langue acérée les débats habituels autour du féminisme, autour de la prostitution, de la transidentité ou du port du voile.

Today in Labor History March 3, 1903: U.S. Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1903, also called the Anarchist Exclusion Act, which bolstered previous immigration law, while adding four new classes of banned people: anarchists, people with epilepsy, beggars, and importers of prostitutes. Congress first discussed banning anarchists from entering the U.S. in 1889, in the wake of the Haymarket affair, when 8 innocent anarchists were framed for a bombing at a public demonstration in support of the eight-hour workday. Then, in 1901, Leon F. Czolgosz, a self-proclaimed anarchist, assassinated President William McKinley. The police responded by arresting numerous anarchists who had no connection whatsoever to the assassination, including Emma Goldman. The new immigration law had minimal effect. Over the next 11 years, only 11 anarchists were denied entry into the U.S., and four were expelled, under the law, including British anarchist John Turner.

Today in Labor History February 5, 1917: U.S. Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917 over President Wilson’s veto. Also known as the Asiatic Barred Zone Act, it was one of many anti-Asian laws passed by Congress between the 1860s and World War II. However, there were plenty of other xenophobic, nativist and anti-left immigration laws, too. The Immigration Act of 1903 specifically barred Anarchists and epileptics. The Immigration Act of 1882 specifically barred “lunatics, idiots and prostitutes.” The Immigration Act of 1918 and the Sedition Act of 1918 came at the beginning of the First Red Scare. Thousands of Anarchists, Communists, Socialists and labor leaders were arrested, executed, or imprisoned as a result of these laws.

“The Chinese Question,” cartoon by Thomas Nast for Harper’s Weekly. Feb. 2, 1871. The cartoon depicts a defiant Columbia (the classically draped, female personification of the U.S.) comforting a crouched and defeated Chinese man, as an armed mob of white men approach. In the background is a wall of racist, anti-Chinese hate speech.

History Walks in Venice

A Catalogue of Courtesans

The famous courtesans were always one of the attractions of Venice. People came from all over, for the carnival, for the gambling and for the courtesans.

Everybody came for the courtesans.

When Henry III of Poland and France came to Venice on an official visit in 1574, the Republic of Venice made sure that he had the pleasant company of Veronica FranA Catalogue of prostitutesco, poetess and one of the most renowned Venetian courtesans of the time.

Veronica Franco is also mentioned in a rather curious document, which has survived to our times in just a few handwritten copies.

In der Region Kolda im Süden des #Senegal ist die Situation der #Frauen sehr schwierig: Obwohl die Praxis seit 1999 verboten ist, sind 94 % aller Frauen beschnitten; zwei Drittel der Mädchen werden früh zwangsverheiratet. Vielen Mädchen und Frauen bleibt deshalb auch eine #Schulbildung verwehrt. Als Folge können sie keinen Beruf erlernen und werden anfälliger für jede Form von Ausbeutung wie etwa #Menschenhandel und #Prostitution.

Come and laugh at a rich guy's (interesting) failure:

In early 1997 an elite Wall Street manager sent his buddy to Thailand to scope out investments. The buddy's theory was that when a local economy grows, (1) its brothels will get cleaner and (2) discarded cigarette butts on the street will be longer.

"After a couple of months in Asia, he reported ... that the brothels in Bangkok had recently become much cleaner and safer, and that Thailand was an excellent place to invest ..." So, the manager invested *several hundred million dollars* in Thai futures.

A few weeks later, in June 1997, the Asian financial crisis smashed Thailand's economy. The manager lost over 90% of the money. His whole investment firm collapsed.

Years later, he reflected "I didn’t have a proper foundation for my investment there. I had no knowledge of the country. I’d never even visited .... All I had done was finance a trip by Bo Keeley to the brothels there.’’
