Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Disco Sucks
Q: How does the concept of elitism play into the anti-disco sentiment?
Elitism in disco culture was perceived through certain exclusive venues that were seen as accessible only to a select few, creating a narrative among some that they were being excluded from participating in a cultural phenomenon.
Disco Sucks
Q: What does it mean when you burn or destroy an album?
Destroying an album signifies burning the ideas for which it stands; in the case of disco, it indicated queerness, femininity, and the cultural appropriation of music associated with marginalized communities.
Disco Sucks
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about what Disco Demolition Night was, what happened, and why do you think it's so important to read it through the lens of anti-gay prejudice?
Disco Demolition Night happened in July of 1979 at Comiskey Park, where people brought disco records to gain cheaper entry to a baseball game. It was a promotion led by DJ Steve Dahl, aimed as a defense of rock music against what was called an insidious disco culture, marking a key moment in the anti-disco backlash rooted in anti-gay prejudice.
Natacha Chetcuti-Osorovitz and Sara Garbagnoli "La Pensée Wittig: Une Introduction" (Payot, 2025)
Q: What kind of action is proposed in Wittig's later works?
Wittig's characters engage in solitary yet relational journeys that affirm the possibility of transformation while rejecting imposed societal categories.
Natacha Chetcuti-Osorovitz and Sara Garbagnoli "La Pensée Wittig: Une Introduction" (Payot, 2025)
Q: Can you explain what materialist feminism means and how it's distinct from other strains of feminism?
Materialist feminism redefines women's oppression through Marxist categories, asserting that women are not a natural group, but a social class shaped by power relations.
