Writing About Incest With Kelsey Zazanis

Fucking Cancelled

Show Notes

When survivors of incest act in the ways any sexually abused child would act, they are psychiatrized and medicated, and often returned to their abusers. When they grow up and search for resources on what happened to them, what they are most likely to find is terabytes of pornography. When they write about their experiences, they are siloed into the realm of self-help and excluded from the realm of politics. In episode 78 we talk with writer Kelsey Zazanis about the epidemic extent of incest child sexual abuse, the rights of children, and incest as a site of feminist political struggle. We also get deep into Jungian psychology and discuss spirituality as a way of making sense of the world.

When a corporate landlord’s open contempt for its working-class tenants at a huge apartment complex in Montreal reached a breaking point, tenants decided to fight back with the help of a neighbourhood class struggle organization called Offensive Populaire (OP). The landlord, Norgate Quebec Inc., responded by suing tenants, OP, and individual members of OP like our guest Nick Harvest, enlisting the courts in a naked display of class warfare. The suit attempts to force tenants and organizers to cease their work through injunctions, and demands absurd damages for such crimes as ‘making things toxic’ (talking to one’s neighbours) and ‘defamation’ (talking about what is happening). Jay and Nick discuss OP’s work in organizing neighbourhoods, tenants’ rights as a site of class struggle, lawfare as a major tool of the enemy class, and the major gains won by Norgate tenants despite the continuous hostility on the part of the landlord and chronic disinterest on the part of the city government.
