Interview: Michelle Goldberg on Sex, Power & The Future of the World

DigiBitch post by Anna Clark on March 25, 2009 - 10:29am; tagged books, globalization, interviews, politics, reproductive rights.

Book CoverMichelle Goldberg’s groundbreaking book comes in like a lion this April. The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power and the Future of the World (Penguin Group) is no ordinary overview.

Goldberg's investigation into the intersection of the war on reproductive freedom and the global war for power spans four continents. From the HIV/AIDS epidemic to female circumcision to overpopulation to infant mortality to abortion rights, Goldberg analyzes how the means of reproduction influences the health of whole societies--even as women's rights have been sidelined by governments and social movements, and even as reproductive rights are weirdly isolated as "women’s issues" only. Goldberg emphasizes how the struggle to control women's bodies is the next great human rights struggle of our globalized world.

Goldberg found time in her travels through Buenos Aires to answer questions for Bitch about this struggle and about her book

Hey Apatow Boy's Club! Meet "The Fempire"

Love / Shove post by Annalee Schafranek on March 23, 2009 - 1:02pm; tagged Dana Fox, Diablo Cody, Liz Meriwether, Lorene Scafaria, movies, screenwriters.

 

 

Following the release of "I Love You, Man" and the Vanity Fair cover story on "Comedy's New Legends" (read: Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Paul Rudd, and Jonah Hill), the New York Times article on "Hollywood's New Power Posse" could predictably be about Judd Apatow and his crew of man-boys (and his wife, Leslie Mann), who are inevitably involved in every project together. However, it appears like a "fempire" is on the rise...

Pope: Just Say 'No' to Condoms

Love / Shove post by Malori Maloney on March 19, 2009 - 9:35pm; tagged Africa, contraception, Douchebag Decree, religion, reproductive health, sex education.

As if reinforcing gender roles, blaming sex abuse within the Church on homosexuality, and rescinding the 20-year-old excommunication of a bishop who denies the Holocaust (while simultaneously supporting the excommunication of pro-choicers) weren’t enough…

SM{ART} // Futurefarmers: Cultivating your consciousness.

Art and Design post by Belin Liu on March 19, 2009 - 5:32pm; tagged art, design, futurefarmers, san francisco, social.
Picture_10.png

In what is probably the grossest understatement posted on this blog so far, these be tough times right now. With the hailstorm that is our economy, international policy, unemployment rate, climate change and much more, sometimes it's very difficult to be positive. While it's great to think globally, it's often beneficial to start and act locally. Futurefarmers is an art/design collective who demonstrate the power of doing just that.

SciFli(ckr): Smithsonian's photo gallery of Women in Science

DigiBitch post by Briar Levit on March 19, 2009 - 3:55pm; tagged flickr, Smithsonian, Women in Science.

I'm an unabashed Flickr addict. I'd take it over myfriendsterfacebook any day. It's the ultimate way to feel connected to what my friends and family are up to, it's great for sharing work with my design students as well as for them to share their own work with me, and it allows me to transport myself to places I've been and love with the click of a button (ie: search> Lake District, England—voila—utter peace and relaxation ensue).

Austin Update! Short and sweet.

Music post by Kjerstin Johnson on March 19, 2009 - 10:43am; tagged austin, music, SXSW.

The Kill Rock Stars show was great! The floor was full from noon o’clock on, when Portland locals Explode into Colors hit the stage. This three piece trio wowed the crowd outside their Pacific Northwest with Klaudia’s vocals and the awesome drumming from Lisa and Heather. The Paper Chase, Horsefeathers, Thao Nguyen and the Get Down Stay Down, Marnie Stern, and the Thermals followed!
