Lubricating Violence with Pleasure in Mexico City
This article charts forms of pleasure activism in Latin America that speak to both the futures of lesbian feminism and the ways in which pleasure pedagogy can lubricate violence.

Borders between narco-controlled and state-controlled territory were shifted …
