DESCRIPTION: Marking the publication of Revolutionary Desires\, author Xuan
 lin Tham will be joined by april forrest lin 林森 to discuss this seduct
 ive new book\, examining why sex scenes in films are more political and su
 bversive than ever. \n\n Sex on screen is unnecessary\, gratuitous\, and s
 erves no purpose. This is the sentiment on the rise as cinema becomes less
  and less sexy. \n\n Xuanlin Tham counters that sex scenes can open our mi
 nds and bodies to the possibility of new futures\, and seduce us towards a
 n expanded political imagination. Through The Matrix Reloaded\, Lingua Fra
 nca and beyond\, Revolutionary Desires explores how the form’s intimacie
 s\, transgressions\, and dedication to pleasure can be uniquely poised to 
 rupture dominant narratives of capitalism and the violences that flow from
  it. \n\n Why is the sex scene\, demonised as it is\, therefore more polit
 ically important and subversive than ever? And how can it power a desire f
 or something more? \n
