SUMMARY:Vorlesung: Unbuilding Gender: Trans* Anarchitectures In and Beyond 
 the Work of Gordon Matta-Clark 
DESCRIPTION:Jack Halberstam\, Professor of English and Gender Studies at Co
 lumbia University\, New York\\r\\nIn Kooperation mit Gender Studies\, Urba
 n Studies\\r\\nModeration: Dominique Grisard\\r\\nIn  this present talk\, 
 I look towards anarchitectural practices of unmaking  as promulgated by th
 e American artist Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978)  and I link the ideas o
 f unbuilding and creative destruction that  characterize his work to devel
 op a queer concept of anarchitecture  focused upon the transbody . The con
 cept of “anarchitecture” is  attributed mainly to Matta-Clark\, whose 
 inventive site-specific cuts  into abandoned buildings demonstrated an app
 roach to the concept of home  and to the market system of real estate that
  was anarchistic\,  creatively destructive\, and full of queer promise. Of
  course\, this is  not to say that Matta-Clark nor any of the participants
  in the  Anarchitecture group that he helped to found in downtown Manhatta
 n in  1973 and ’74 would have understood their work in this sense. Rathe
 r\, we  might take up the challenge offered by Matta-Clark’s anarchitect
 ural  projects\, in order to spin contemporary conversations about queer a
 nd  trans* politics away from notions of respectability and inclusion and 
  towards an anti-political orientation to unmaking a world within which  q
 ueers and trans people\, homeless people and immigrants are cast as  probl
 ems for the neoliberal state.\\r\\nHalberstam is  currently working on a b
 ook titled WILD THING on queer anarchy\,  performance and protest culture\
 , the visual representation of anarchy  and the intersections between anim
 ality\, the human and the environment.
