Fainting Couch Feminists Episode Sixty-Four: Let’s Talk About DEATH feat. Elee Kraljii Gardiner

It’s terrifying and abstract and it’s coming for us all! That’s right: we’re talking DEATH, a subject Elle Kraljii Gardiner knows intimately, having been through multiple near death experiences herself. Most significantly, Elee had a mini-stroke in 2012, an event that profoundly impacted her life in every way imaginable—psychologically, physically, you name it. Now, Elee is releasing an anthology called “Against Death: 35 Essays on Living,” where multiple writers reflect on what it means to be close to death. In this episode, Mica and Elee also chat about The Anthropocene (a new word Mica learned), what it means to be “in tune” with your body, and why even us cynical Sallies aren’t ready to dismiss the power of positive thinking.

ROOM 49.3 NO CANADA

In the new era of CanCon, as feminists and writers it is our task to reject this Canadian exceptionalism, this too-comfortable back-patting. How can we begin to imagine alternative arts economies, Indigenous economies around art, that start with treaty, that align with BDS? What art, what literature, would such a system free us to create?
