Ottawa Book Launch of Eros and Alienation
February 3 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us for the Ottawa launch of Eros and Alienation: Capitalism and the Making of Gendered Sexualities, by social justice activist and academic Alan Sears. Alan will be joined in conversation by Carleton University’s Julie Tomiak, Azar Masoumi, and Dan Irving.
Monday February 3, 7pm to 8pm.
Doors open at 6:30pm.
Octopus Books, 116 Third Ave., Ottawa
In Eros and Alienation, Sears delves into the underexplored relationship between alienated labor and sexuality. Our instinctual drive to shape the world around us and fulfill ourselves through labor is subverted by capitalist alienation, leaving us to find fulfillment elsewhere.
