Today host Lisa Dettmer spends the hour talking to Professor Lida Maxwell, the author of the new book out by Stanford press called “ Rachel Carson and the Power of Queer love.” Rachel Carson, for those of you who may not know, is considered one of the progenitors of the mainstream environmental movement who garnered major public attention in 1964 with her best selling book “Silent Spring.” But Lida Maxwell argues that Rachel Carson was not only a brilliant inspiring writer and lover of nature but a queer woman whose love of nature and great love with Dorothy Freedman was a model of how we can move beyond consumptive straight Capitalist desire to a relational horizontal co-creative love and wonder, a love of both human and non-human life, a Queer love. Maxwell sees Carson’s horizontal non domineering love of nature not unlike the indigenous respect for all life that now informs much of our current environmental movement. And she asks Can this love of human and non-human life serve as a basis of our political movement that is based not on fear or a love that is anthropomorphic, individualistic, a commodified love but on a real love, an infinite love, based on mutuality and respect and a queer joy. And, she argues, this model of love can help us remember that our intimate lives matter in how we live and create our vision of the world we want to see. Lida Maxwell is the Associate Professor of Political Science and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Boston University. She is the author of Insurgent “Truth and Public Trials: Burke, Zola, Arendt the Politics of Lost Causes,” and “For Chelsea Manning, Coming Out and Whistleblowing Were Deeply Linked” The post Rachel Carson- Queer Love with Lida Maxwell appeared first on KPFA.
