The Alphabet of Feeling Bad

Karin MICHALSKI 2012 Germany Experimental color 13min English Blu-ray
The Alphabet of Feeling Bad shows an experimental interview with the theorist and activist Ann Cvetkovich. Cvetkovich' s performance. In the tradition of initiatives like the SPK (Socialist Patient Collective) of the 1970s, negative feelings are not understood as individual failure or sickness. Rather the question is raised of how these could be collectively sensed as “public feelings" but also politicized in the context of
neoliberal working conditions and of homophobia and racism.
