After Sex
Edna Bonhomme; Alice Spawls
London: Silver Press, 2023.“The last decade has seen a rise in activism and arguments over women’s reproductive freedom reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s. This title provides personal and political perspectives from the mid-twentieth century to the present day, setting feminist classics alongside contemporary accounts and highlighting the experiences of women of colour and working-class women. Contributors include Nell Dunn, Anne Enright, bell hooks, Ursula K. Le Guin, Audre Lorde and Sally Rooney. These essays, short stories and poems trace past understandings of reproductive freedom and consider what it might look like in future, making urgent connections between womens equality and access to contraception, healthcare and childcare. The writers pay special attention to people — both fictional and real — who have sought control over their sexual lives, and the joy, comedy, difficulties and disappointments that entails. But above all, After Sex testifies to the power of great writing to show us why that freedom is worth pursuing — without shame and without apology.” (publisher’s blurb)

The Big Archive: Art from Bureaucracy
Sven Spieker
Cambridge and London: The MIT Press, 2008.“The typewriter, the card index, and the filing cabinet: these are technologies and modalities of the archive. To the bureaucrat, archives contain little more than garbage, paperwork no longer needed; to the historian, on the other hand, the archive’s content stands as a quasi-objective correlative of the “living” past. Twentieth-century art made use of the archive in a variety of ways–from what Spieker calls Marcel Duchamp’s “anemic archive” of readymades and El Lissitzky’s Demonstration Rooms to the compilations of photographs made by such postwar artists as Susan Hiller and Gerhard Richter. In The Big Archive, Sven Spieker investigates the archive–as both bureaucratic institution and index of evolving attitudes toward contingent time in science and art–and finds it to be a crucible of twentieth-century modernism.” (publisher’s blurb)
