Laura Kipnis

Chicago-based videomaker and cultural critic Laura Kipnis’ work is richly informed by her post-Marxist, post-structuralist, post-feminist, post-everything sense of humor. Her often irreverent tapes form piercing analyses of contemporary debates with an unpretentious feminist slant. Her books include Bound and Gagged: The Politics of Fantasy in America (1996) and Against Love: A Polemic (2003). Kipnis is on faculty in Radio/Television/Film at Northwestern University.
