  n.paradoxa – international feminist art journal 
Volume 25 (Jan 2010) Out Now!

Editor: Katy Deepwell
'Why
pleasure? Surely, this is an apolitical category. Something personal,
gratuitous, superficial, selfish even. Is the concept of pleasure just
an excuse for decadence! Why should feminists question or think about
pleasure as an idea in the visual arts? If all we are doing is looking
for pleasure, in the sense of personal gratification, what will it say
about our politics? Or will it just be a sign of the lack of them and
our adherence to the desires of late consumer capitalism or
neo-liberalism?.... This volume tries to expand the idea of pleasure as
a multiple and diffuse set of forms: the pleasure of the text, the
pleasure invested in vision, the pleasure of the senses, pleasure in
our physical experience of the world around us, pleasure postponed in utopian 
visions of the future,
the emptiness of certain decadent forms of pleasure, pleasure in
contemplation and reflection on small and everyday details, pleasure in
drawing how we feel and articulating what we believe in, pleasure in a
job well done or an achievement…' Katy Deepwell, editorial, Volume 25, 
n.paradoxa
