Welcome to Kinky Research / Schräge Forschung, where we will combine hands-on practices with theoretical background, combine discussing with doing, questions with explorations. Run by Beata Absalon at IKSK – Institut für Körperforschung und sexuelle Kultur in Berlin.
This issues topic:
I wish to propose to you a new term, one that has been missing for a long time: 'circlusion'. It denotes the antonym of penetration. It refers to the same physical process, but from the opposite perspective. Penetration means pushing something – a shaft or a nipple – into something else – a ring or a tube. Circlusion means pushing something – a ring or a tube – onto something else – a nipple or a shaft. The ring and the tube are rendered active. This word, circlusion, allows us to speak differently about certain forms of sex. We need it because the affliction of penetration still rules supreme over the heteronormative imaginary and its arbitrary division of bodies into 'active' and 'passive'. The verb to penetrate evokes a non-reciprocal or at least unequally distributed process. The one who is penetrated is implied to be passive. More than that, being penetrated, like being screwed, is synonymous to being feeling disempowered.

Beata inquires kinky practices and scenes for their peculiar qualities: In what way are they transformative, silly, creepy, subversive, pretentious, therapeutical, erotic - or not? Her approach of teaching techniques by infusing them with (queer) theory, art, popculture and cultural history is found in her workshops as well as in her academic work, where she writes and talks about other states of being like birth, mourning, hysteria or sleep. As a Fellow at the International Research Center for Cultural Studies in Vienna Beata is currently working on her PhD about the aesthetics of consent.
