Wie sich Female Body Horror mit Schönheitsidealen auseinandersetzt

Filme wie "Die Fliege" oder "Eraserhead" thematisierten erfolgreich Ekel und körperliche Verformung. Nun liegt "Female Body Horror" im Trend - ein Genre, das ähnlich ist, sich aber auf Frauen fokussiert. Von Sara Maleš.

Symptom: Social Security Disability Rejection

61% of Social Security applicants are denied after their first application. I am now on the second appeal, when 49% of remaining applicants are approved, and have hired a lawyer (disability lawyers are only paid if they win your case).

I set a new goal on ko-fi, in order to get more illmarks pieces into the world. The fundraising would cover framing two Med Art Advocacy pieces, and submission fees + professional scanning for the Mütter Medical Museum, a Senior Living Center, a Health Care Center & 3 other shows.

If you are able to comfortably, please buy me a ko-fi. We’re 1/3 of the way to the goal!

Diesen Film vergesse ich mein Leben lang nicht mehr. Auch weil ich schon lange erwachsen war, als ich ihn zum ersten Mal gesehen habe. Für mich war das noch zu früh. Ich habe ihn zuerst einfach nicht verstanden. Und ich weiß, ehrlich gesagt, auch gar nicht, ob es mir heute gelingt. Deshalb nähere ich mich dem Film auch nur vorsichtig. Mit geschärften Sinnen und bei vollem Bewusstsein. Denn dieser Film von Andrzej Żuławski ist kein Ehedrama und kein Horrorfilm. Es ist ein Exorzismus des Patriarchats, gefilmt in Beton und Blut. Mit Isabelle Adjani und Sam Neill. (ARTE, Neu!)

Diagnosis: Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

After self-diagnosing, I got an official diagnosis. The victory of the official diagnosis was upstaged by the foot trauma two days previously, which I now know is a broken bone. However, at lest it’s in the same limb as all my other orthopedic trauma and severe arthritis. That’s really my saving grace right now — it’s a familiar injury. Adding another new mystery set of symptoms would be less welcome than rehatching an old burden.

Anyway, back to the art. I love some of the light interactive properties here that are hard to capture in a scan so:

Reflective properties close up, gold paint in the eyes, green metallic reflection for the dark around and in the eyes. The shimmer (ultra fine glittering particles) in the green ink are vibrant blue, and in the blue zebra stripes are color shifting, right now a rose.

Metallic version of the hardware in my leg — I looked at my own x-rays for reference!

Final close up.

I need to pick a “job title” to describe the work I do here. I initially tried to make a poll with a plug in, but alas it didn’t work the way I hoped.

Here are some of the options I’m considering. Feel free to reply/comment with any or suggest your own!:

• Health & Care Advocacy Designer
• Mast Cell Artist Syndrome

• Plague Artist

Rejected (not great for professional use) options that I’ll share with you because I love you, but don’t tell my PCP about any of these, k?

Symptom: Coat Hanger Pain

I only learned about this term very recently, from yumpsuit on the Fediverse. Thank you so much for letting me know about it!

I am almost disproportionately thankful to have a handy description for letting people know what I’m feeling, as well as how to look for ways to try to mitigate the pain. Reading about Coat Hanger Pain resonated deeply, in a way similar to how I often feel when I get a diagnosis: a feeling of relief, connection, community, and hope.

Many people who have not been chronically ill see a diagnosis as a negative. Indeed, many disabled people are never told their diagnoses, and are never told they are disabled. This needs to change, because as Granite and Sunlight explained:

Many people are disabled for a long time before they get a diagnosis which explains what is happening to them, and there is a resistance in the medical profession to giving long-term diagnoses, especially for young people and for women with chronic conditions which lack good treatment options, because of an outdated belief that labels are limiting and they don’t want people to ‘see themselves as disabled’. The fact they are already disabled, already struggling, is why disability justice advocates are trying to help medical professionals change their approach to this. Most people just want answers and context for what is happening to them – not having a name for it doesn’t mean it isn’t affecting their lives. Diagnosis gives people access to context, support and community who can help a person manage the condition better, but these are not built into the medical response to disability. Despite these delays, the person is still disabled all that time, and still needs access to the support and adaptations which can help them live good lives managing their conditions.

For more information about this, I recommend Brianne of No End In Sight’s TEDx Talk, Disease Begins Before Diagnosis.

#Titane, the 2021 #Cannes #PalmDOr winning #film #DirectedBy #JuliaDucournau is a #movie I just watched.

I have no idea why it was so highly lauded, though it had great potential and some very interesting moments throughout.

However, none of it worked as a connected story for me.

Overall, it felt like a patchwork of ideas and themes, none fully explored, and could have easily been two or three different movies or segments: A #BodyHorror / #SerialKiller / #GenderIdentiy #anthology, maybe.
