    I’d really like to attend this academic conference in Berlin, but it is 1) already closed for registration and in waiting list mode, and 2) taking place about a week before I actually arrive to Berlin.

    Boo.

    But! If any readers out there are interested (and in Berlin — where a surprisingly large number of you seem to live!), the three-day event looks like it will be entirely in English and will feature scholars from all over the world. There is a LOT of interesting work that will be discussed. Some of the paper titles include:

    • Unpacking the Toy Bag: Commodity and Power Exchange in BDSM Communities
    • Queer Babymaking and the Economy of New Reproductive Technologies
    • Can the subaltern desire? The Erotic as a Power and the Disempowerment of the Erotic
    • Out of the Colonial Closet and Stuck Inside the Liberal Box: Marketing Desire and the Legal Regulation of Sexual Subjectivity in Postcolonial India

    Hope someone gets to attend and report back!
