Marguerite Lanson

Ce jeu memory invite à découvrir la symbolique de l’ours à travers l’Histoire, et plus précisément à travers l’histoire de l’ours en peluche. L’animal n’a pas toujours eu bonne réputation chez les humains. Comment un jouet à son effigie a-t-il pu devenir un emblème de l’enfance ? Le jeu se compose de 54 cartes numérotées (27 paires) et d’un poster explicatif imprimés en risographie. 

This game of memory is an invitation to discover the symbolism of the bear through history, more specifically, through the history of the teddy bear. The animal didn’t always have such a good reputation among humans. How could a toy in his likeness become an emblem of childhood ? The game is made of 54 numbered cards (27 pairs), and an explanatory poster printed in risography.

Why I Failed in Porn

Maria Bettina

Non-fiction €16.00

This book follows my journey of launching, growing, and ultimately failing in the adult entertainment industry. It explores society’s complex relationship with porn and sex education, the challenges of entrepreneurship, and the struggles of working in a deeply stigmatized space. Sometimes funny, often dramatic, and always surprising, it offers an unfiltered look at the business side of porn and what it really takes to challenge the status quo.

Juliet Mérie

Poetry €35.00

Loin d'être un documentaire, ses photographies créent un rapport ambigu entre la perception des espaces visités et l'allégorie qui s'installe. La possière se soulève pour dévoiler les lieux de vie et de mort des briques qui dessinent le paysage belge.

MW Collected Texts (Bootleg)

Monique Wittig

This bootleg edition collects scanned copies of Monique Wittig's writing. It includes; The Lesbian Body, Les Guérillères, The Opoponax, and Lesbian Peoples: material for a dictionary— In true bootleg style, punk enough to carry the truly radical words of Wittig: scans, a little grainy, with marginalia of unknown origins. Now, we can dress ourselves in the ravishingly erotic, violent splendorous brilliance to become baby Wittigs.  

This edition was assembled out of a deep love of Wittig's work by Chloe Chignell.

Monique Wittig was a French author and feminist theorist particularly interested in overcoming gender and the heterosexual contract. She published her first novel, L'opoponax, in 1964. Her second novel, Les Guérillères (1969), was a landmark in lesbian feminism.

SABR N°03 - Perles à compter

Emma Berger-Pierre

Zines €12.00

« Quelques perles coulent entre ses doigts. Les récits de Larem se délient du temps que l’on connaît. Elle raconte, superpose, recule et avance, jouissant des temps qu’elle invoque. » 

Emma Berger-Pierre est artiste plasticienne et chercheuse. Dans son travail, elle reprend les objets de ses grands-parents pour tirer des récits familiaux de l’immigration algérienne, les enjeux liés aux guerres coloniales et aux banlieues françaises, plus particulièrement Mantes-la-Jolie. Liée à la silenciation de ces histoires et des violences, elle tisse les liens intimes et systémiques de continuation des stratégies et ambiance de guerre, et des résistances, qui se perpétuent dans les quartiers populaires et dans la sphère familiale. 

SABR/Collection est une série de publications qui rassemble des œuvres littéraires de format court et de genres variés. Dirigée par Nesrine Salem, la collection souhaite mettre en avant les macro-réalités des auteur·ices choisi·es pour rendre visible le caractère intersectionnel des luttes.
