Episode 3 ENG - A Feminist body? With Camille Froidevaux-Metterie and Rachel Maclean

<div> <p>Talking about the body, the female body, is always a bit difficult. It is intimate, contentious, delicate. It is both an eternal subject and something that we don’t talk about enough . It crystalizes the infinite ways women are dominated in a patriarchal society, yet it’s been ignored for years in feminist theory. Maybe it’s too close, how could you be a feminist, talk about it and be objective?  </p> <p>Our guests both provide a wonderful reflexion on this question, a solace at a time where we would probably prefer to forget our body-worries, after a year of doing nothing but. Camille Froidevaux-Metterie calls herself a feminist philosopher, who’s thought about the female body and how it has been analysed in feminist theory. In her research, she offers us a beautiful, intimate, research on what having a female body means and how we can reincarnate our bodies to find freedom.</p> <p>We also chat with Scottish artist Rachel Maclean, whose work explores body representation, body harm, make up and drag. I went to Scotland to meet her at Jupiter Artland, where she installed her latest commission It’s a engaging, disturbing, and compelling piece of work  and she gives us insights into her work and process.   </p> </div> <div> <p> </p> </div> <div> <p> </p> </div>
