“The Beginning of a Vision”: Aromantic Resonances in 1970s Feminisms
Author: Moira Armstrong, Rutgers University
Comment: Alison Lefkovitz, New Jersey Institute of Technology
This is an online event.
This paper reconsiders 1970s lesbian feminist periodicals as precursors to aromanticism, examining discourse around themes that arise in 2010s aromantic zines: advocacy against the hierarchization of relationships, proposed new relationalities and intimacies, and a vision of aromantic futurity. Using the framework of resonances, it shows a longer lineage of aromantic ideas than is currently understood and demonstrates the value of aromanticism as a historical lens.
