AUDRE LORDE — DIFFERENCE, ANGER & THE EROTIC AS KNOWLEDGE

Primary classification

ANALYTICAL TOOL within feminisms, the sexual revolution, and the body as a political site.

Audre Lorde must remain distinct from hooks and Federici. Her centres are difference, anger, the erotic as knowledge, self-preservation, and voice. The erotic is not reduced to sexuality; it names embodied knowledge and a resource for refusing diminishment.

Removal audit

Without Lorde, the Brain loses a language for anger, difference, erotic knowledge, and self-preservation as forms of political intelligence.
