flyer queerokratia Konferenz für Selbstbestimmung. Verschwommene tanzende Person, hautfarben, rote Schuhe, fliederfarbender Hintergrund

On 12 November 2023, the SBSG group “Selbstbestimmung selbst gemacht” (“Self-determination done yourself”) published an alternative draft for a self-determination law – egalitarian, for all, against coercion, convinced of the sexual maturity of all people. As the government draft of the self-determination law, which was approved by the Bundestag on 12.04.24, has various snags, there will be a federal conference for self-determination from 30.05.-02.06.24 in Berlin under the title QUEEROKRATIA.

Conference, June 15-17, 2023 Can the concept of the membrane therefore help us overcome anthropocentric thinking? And if so, how does it allow to address hierarchies and power imbalances among humans? Can it mobilize decolonial critiques of a posthumanist discourse as a model to thinking in gender studies and feminist science and technology studies?
