La voie humide
Coralie Trinh Thi s’est imposée comme un authentique écrivain avec son premier roman Betty Monde paru en 2002.
Elle publie aujourd’hui un récit autobiographique : plus de trois années de travail pour plus de 700 pages d’une belle écriture, fluide, modeste et pertinente, autrement dit bien plus qu’une nouvelle et banale bio de porn star.
Construit sur la structure initiatique du Tarot de Marseille, à la fois récit de formation et témoignage acéré sur un moment de notre histoire politique et culturelle, La Voie Humide est la chronique d’une jeune fille très tôt indépendante, qui va exercer des choix et les assumer pour devenir cette femme libre qui pratique le sexe comme un épanouissement personnel.
De l’enfance, l’école et l’apprentissage de la lecture à la découverte du sexe, des premières expériences du porno et de la caméra à la succession des tournages, de la culture rock et gothique à la consécration comme star internationale du X, de la complicité avec Virginie Despentes à la rencontre quasi initiatique avec Jodorowsky, La Voie Humide se lit dans la passion, avec une affection toute particulière pour une jeune femme qui se veut, et demeure, libre et intègre.
Ses convictions intellectuelles et morales pourront choquer les bien-pensants, à commencer par la liberté sexuelle revendiquée jusque dans le choix épanoui du X, mais aussi le rapport au mystique et au magique, ou encore la quête d’amour jamais démentie et toujours difficile qui sous-tendent le récit. C’est un grand livre sadien, un pavé rebelle dans la mare des faux-semblants et du prêt à penser.
Coralie nous donne ici à lire un récit autobiographique d’une absolue sincérité, dans le respect de tous ceux qu’elle a rencontrés. Elle réussit à atteindre la vérité d’un genre délicat, sans aucune trace de complaisance, ni envers elle, ni envers son époque. Un livre qui fera date.

Transphobia: Critical Perspectives on Anti-Transgender Violence
*Call for Articles*
*Transphobia: Critical Perspectives on Anti-Transgender Violence
(working
title)*
I am seeking articles, particularly interdisciplinary and
intersectional
discussions, about the many issues of violence and related
discriminations
faced by transgender people. The anthology will also present social
justice
responses to transphobic violence and
discrimination.
Although the media focuses most of its attention on hate crimes,
transgender
people are affected by violence in many other forms. These include, for
example, police brutality, bullying, sexual assault, forced
institutionalization, incarceration, elder abuse, and crimes against
partners and allies. Sometimes the violence is direct and
physical; other times the violence is indirect, covert or
psychological. The
oppressions faced by transgender people come from many different social
and
economic structures, from a wide range of ideologies, and affect many
communities. In turn, many different ways exist of healing and
preventing
both overt and hidden forms of violence. This anthology hopes to
present a
wide range of perspectives on violence that affects transgender people
and
the multiple communities that we live in.
I wish to also solicit discussions of oppressions that are not often
classified as violence. These might include, for example, the denial of
medical care, invasions of privacy, and economic insecurity.
Articles should range from 1500-3500 words. Some possible topics are
suggested below. However, writers are encouraged to approach the topic
in
innovative ways. Original work is strongly preferred; work published
elsewhere will be considered on a very limited basis.
*Deadline: April 20, 2008. Questions, abstracts or full articles, plus
a
brief biography should be sent to: rmjuang (at)
