Ãn interiorul miÈcÄrii feministe, la nivel mondial, arta a jucat un rol
important Ãn structurarea  Èi dezvoltarea unui discurs critic care a
zdruncinat inegalitÄÈile fundamentale dintre femei Èi bÄrbaÈi. Centrat
iniÈial pe revendicarea unor reglementÄri juridice Èi drepturi politice
pentru femei albe Èi heterosexuale, discursul feminist, sau mai corect spus
unele dintre discursurile feministe radicale, ÃÈi ÃndreaptÄ atenÈia spre
minoritÄÈile sexuale Èi de gen. EliberÄrii din logica patriarhatului Èi a
sexismului i s-a adÄugat nevoia chestionÄrii unei retorici cu tradiÈie, dat
social Èi politicÄ de stat: heteronormativitatea. âPÃnÄ nu suntem toate
libere, suntem toate prizoniereâ este premiza de lucru practicilor
revendicate din sfera discursurilor feminismului *queer,* anti-rasist Èi
anti-transfob.

AlÄturi de feminism, revoluÈia sexualÄ Èi activismul pentru drepturile LGBT
(lesbiane, gay, bisexuali, transgender) devin o mizÄ pentru egalitatea Ãn
drepturi Ãn societÄÈile contemporane.

NumÄrul 6 al *Gazetei de ArtÄ PoliticÄ* ÃÈi propune sÄ investigheze
proiecte artistice Èi reflecÈii teoretice care fac vizible:

   - Discursuri marginale asupra orientÄrii sexuale Èi a identitÄÈii de
   gen, abordate dintr-o perspectivÄ care se poziÈioneazÄ critic Ãn raport cu
   discursul heteronormativ *mainstream*;
   - Critica reprezentÄrilor publice consumiste care privilegiazÄ imaginea
   hiper-sexualizatÄ a âfemeii-accesoriuâ, âde vitrinÄâ, vizibilÄ doar dacÄ
   ÃÈi exhibÄ sexualitatea;
   - Categorii oprimate din cauza afirmÄrii unor obiceiuri sexuale diferite
   de norma comportamentalÄ impusÄ de morala creÈtinÄ Èi de reguli sociale
   coercitive;
   - Drepturile minoritÄÈilor sexuale Èi de gen.

DacÄ o parte a feminismului neoliberal a ajuns Ãn *mainstream*,  feminismul
radical Èi*queer*, rÄmÃne marginal atÃt Ãn societate, cÃt Èi pe scena
artisticÄ.

NumÄrul 6 al *Gazetei de ArtÄ PoliticÄ â ArtÄ, Gen, Sexualitate-* ÃÈi
propune sÄ radiografieze proiecte culturale Èi artistice, discursuri
*queer* feministe
Èi perspective empancipatoare asupra sexualitÄÈii Èi identitÄÈii de gen. VÄ
invitÄm sÄ contribuiÈi cu recenzii, eseuri, analize, interviuri pe tema *ArtÄ,
Gen, Sexualitate*, Ãn vederea publicÄrii pe site-ul *Gazetei de ArtÄ
PoliticÄ*. AdresÄ de contact:gazeta@artapolitica.ro

Within the ranks of the global feminist movement, art has played an
important part in structuring and developing a critical discourse which has
shattered the fundamental inequalities between women and men. Initially
focused on claims for judicial regulation and political rights for white,
heterosexual women, the feminist discourse â or to put it more accurately,
some radical feminist positions â also focuses on sexual and gender
minorities. The need to question the state-endorsed heteronormativity
joined forces with the freedom from the patriarchal logic and sexism:
âUntil all of us are free, all of us are prisonersâ is the premise for
practices deriving from the sphere of queer, anti-racist and
anti-transphobic feminist discourses.

Alongside feminism, sexual revolution and LGBT activism (lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender) become important stakes in achieving equality in
contemporary societies.

Issue #6 of *Gazeta de Art**Ä PoliticÄ* aims to investigate artistic
projects and theoretical reflections which make visible the following:

-          Marginal discourses on sexual orientation and gender identity,
approached from a perspective which is critical of mainstream
heteronormative discourse;

-          A critique of consumerist public representations which privilege
a hyper-sexualized image of a âwoman-accessoryâ, visible only if she is
manifestly sexual;

-          Groups oppressed due to exhibiting sexual habits different from
the behavioral norm imposed by Christian morals and coercive social rules;

-          The rights of sexual and gender minorities.

If part of neoliberal feminism has entered the mainstream, radical and
queer feminism remains marginal both in society and the art scene.

Issue #6 of *Gazeta de Art**Ä PoliticÄ* â* Art Gender and Sexuality *â aims
to scrutinize cultural and artistic projects, queer feminist discourses and
emancipatory perspectives on sexuality and gender identity. We welcome your
reviews, essays, analyses or interviews on this theme. They will be
published in the website of the*Gazeta*.
