Quicho (NM74) A conversation with cultural theorist Alex Quicho.
Building on the ideas of Tiqqun’s 1999 anti-neoliberal treatise
Preliminary Materials for a Theory of the Young-Girl, Andrea Long
Chu’s Females and Bogna Konior’s work on the girl and the inhuman
vis-a-vis the machinic, Quicho has developed a concept she calls
the “Girlstack,” which, to borrow her words, models the
“ultrasmooth, cybergothic, and angelic dimensions of the girl’s
natural habitat.” Quicho talks with us about it here. [To be clear…
we’re speaking of not actual girls or the experience of lived
girlhood, but a socially constructed ideation of the girl . . .
girl as a vehicle for selling a product, girl as a tool for
manipulating entrenched power, girl as living currency, girl as
desiring machine.] For more: https://amfq.xyz/
