Drawing on the black feminist tradition, she challenges us to rethink the ground rules of activism.

"Was macht eigentlich das Unterschichtskind auf dem Roten Teppich?", fragt eine Besucherin auf dem Münchner Filmfest in meine Richtung. Ja, was macht sie da? Sie ist auf einer Mission. Die Tussi suggeriert durch ihre Erscheinung ein grenzüberschreitendes Begehren. Es geht um Kitsch, Glamour, Trash, es geht um Camp. Es geht um Körper, Identitäten. Es geht um Strass, um Klasse und um künstliche Fingernägel. Pleasure ist eine atemberaubend eloquente Tour de Force durch die Luxus-Triade Schlaf (meterlange Hotelbett-Laken!), Nahrung (Schlemmermaus!) und Kleidung (Dior, aber fake!).

At the Court of Liang at the period of Yang Chu, about 300 B.C., the philosophers were treated as guests of the reigning king, who reserved for them lodging and maintenance, and encouraged all who had any pretence to the pursuit of truth and wisdom.
