Why you should listen

Kelli Jean Drinkwater uses the fat body as a site to investigate the complex relationship we all have with our bodies and how that defines the world we live in.

Recurring themes in Drinkwater's work are notions of taking up space, queering fat embodiment and how this reclamation can transform and reimagine the potential of self and community. Her work is motivated by how these ideas intersect with gender, race, class and ability.

Drinkwater's work has featured in major international galleries, festivals and magazines. Now based in Sydney, Australia, her recent performances in include Force Majeure's "Nothing to Lose" for Sydney Festival, "NightCraft" for the Museum of Contemporary Art, "Tableau Vivant" for Underbelly Arts Festival, and "MonstaGras" at The Red Rattler Theatre. 

Drinkwater's film Aquaporko! won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at Mardi Gras Film Festival 2013. Drinkwater is currently in production on a documentary feature that follows the making of the "Nothing to Lose" live show.

01:30
Whereas some of you might威力 have thought,
28

有些人可能會覺得,

and that you really should renew更新
your gym健身房 membership.
36
97320
2720
你真的需要續健身房的會費。
01:53
These judgments判斷 are insidious陰險.
37
101320
2256
這些想法會在不知不覺中加劇,
01:55
They can be directed針對
at individuals個人 and groups,
38
103600
2576
它們會影響到個人和小集體,
01:58
and they can also
be directed針對 at ourselves我們自己.
39
106200
2560
它們也會直接影響到我們自身。
02:01
And this way of thinking思維
is known已知 as fatphobiafatphobia.
40
109360
3200
這種想法,被稱為“肥胖恐懼癥”。
02:05
Like any form形成 of systematic系統的 oppression壓迫,
41
113800
2416
正如任何一種形式的體制壓迫,
02:08
fatphobiafatphobia is deeply rooted
in complex複雜 structures結構
42
116240
3656
對肥胖的恐懼已經通過各種形式漸漸深入人心,
02:11
like capitalism資本主義, patriarchy父權制 and racism種族主義,
43
119920
4056
就像資本主義 男權社會 和種族偏見一樣。
02:16
and that can make it
really difficult to see,
44
124000
2776
我們甚至不太了解他們,
02:18
let alone單獨 challenge挑戰.
45
126800
1280
就更別說去改變了。
02:21
We live生活 in a culture文化
46
129000
1256
在我們所處的文化中,
02:22
where being存在 fat脂肪
is seen看到 as being存在 a bad person --
47
130280
4976
胖子被視為不好的人,
02:27
lazy, greedy貪婪, unhealthy不良, irresponsible不負責任
48
135280
3816
他們懶惰、貪吃、不健康、還缺少責任感,
02:31
and morally道德 suspect疑似.
49
139120
1480
在道德方面常常被懷疑。
02:33
And we tend趨向 to see thinness
50
141440
1576
而當我們在看瘦子的時候,
02:35
as being存在 universally舉世 good --
51
143040
2200
他們簡直各方面都是完美的,
02:38
responsible主管, successful成功,
52
146040
2016
他們有責任心、成功、
02:40
and in control控制 of our appetites胃口,
bodies身體 and lives生活.
53
148080
3360
還能夠控制食欲、身體、以及自己的生活。
02:44
We see these ideas思路 again and again
54
152240
2336
我們一次次的接收這種信息,
02:46
in the media媒體, in public上市 health健康 policy政策,
55
154600
2936
它存在於在媒體上 在公共衛生政策中。
02:49
doctors'醫生 offices辦事處,
56
157560
1616
在醫生的辦公室裏,
02:51
in everyday每天 conversations對話
57
159200
2176
在日常的聊天中
02:53
and in our own擁有 attitudes態度.
58
161400
1680
以及我們自身的態度中。
02:55
We may可能 even blame fat脂肪 people themselves他們自己
59
163880
2976
我們甚至會責備那些胖子,
02:58
for the discrimination區別 they face面對
60
166880
1576
對他們的樣子表示歧視。
03:00
because, after all, if we don't like it,
we should just lose失去 weight重量.
61
168480
4696
畢竟,如果不喜歡自己的樣子,只要減肥就好了。
03:05
Easy簡單.
62
173200
1240
很簡單啊。
03:07
This antifatantifat bias偏壓 has become成為
so integral積分, so ingrained根深蒂固
63
175360
4496
這種“反胖”的偏見在我們看待自己和他人的時候,
03:11
to how we value ourselves我們自己 and each other
64
179880
2536
已經根深蒂固了。
03:14
that we rarely很少 question why
we have such這樣 contempt鄙視 for people of size尺寸
65
182440
5736
我們卻從來不知道 為什麽對人們的體型會有如此的偏見,
03:20
and where that disdain蔑視 comes from.
66
188200
1840
這種偏見又是從哪來的。
03:22
But we must必須 question it,
67
190960
1936
然而,我們必須向其提出質疑,
03:24
because the enormous巨大 value
we place地點 on how we look
68
192920
3176
因為我們對自身的樣貌極其的重視。
03:28
affects影響 every一切 one of us.
69
196120
2120
這種價值觀影響著每個人,
03:31
And do we really want to live生活 in a society社會
70
199000
2536
如果一個人會因為不贊同一些獨特的社會認可,
03:33
where people are denied否認
their basic基本 humanity人性
71
201560
2936
而被否定了他的人性時,
03:36
if they don't subscribe訂閱
to some arbitrary隨意 form形成 of acceptable接受?
72
204520
3960
那麽這種社會我們真的想要麽?
03:42
So when I was six years年份 old,
73
210200
1736
在我六歲的時候,
03:43
my sister妹妹 used to teach ballet芭蕾舞
to a bunch of little girls女孩 in our garage車庫.
74
211960
4536
我的姐姐在我家的車庫教一群小女孩跳芭蕾,
03:48
I was about a foot腳丫子 taller and a foot腳丫子 wider更寬的
than most of the group.
75
216520
3200
我幾乎比那裏所有的小女孩都“大一號”。
03:52
When it came來了 to doing
our first performance性能,
76
220400
2136
在進行第一次表演的時候,
03:54
I was so excited興奮
about wearing穿著 a pretty漂亮 pink tutu蓬蓬裙.
77
222560
4616
我因為要穿粉紅色的芭蕾舞裙而特別激動,
03:59
I was going to sparkle火花.
78
227200
2520
我覺得我今天一定會很耀眼。
04:02
As the other girls女孩 slipped下滑 easily容易
into their Lycra萊卡纖維 and tulle薄紗 creations創作,
79
230800
4136
但是當其他女孩都輕松的穿上緊身衣和芭蕾舞裙的時候,
04:06
not one of the tutus芭蕾舞短裙
was big enough足夠 to fit適合 me.
80
234960
2880
卻沒有一件我能穿的進的演出服。
04:10
I was determined決心 not to be
excluded排除 from the performance性能,
81
238720
4136
我不想因此就退出演出,
04:14
so I turned轉身 to my mother母親
82
242880
2816
所以我轉過身面對我的媽媽,
04:17
and loud enough足夠 for everyone大家 to hear
83
245720
2936
用所有人都能聽見的聲音跟她說,
04:20
said, "Mom媽媽, I don't need a tutu蓬蓬裙.
84
248680
3616
“媽媽,我不需要tutu(普通的芭蕾舞裙),
04:24
I need a fourfour的Fourfour."
85
252320
2176
我要fourfour(圖上媽媽做的加大的演出服)!”
04:26
(Laughter笑聲)
86
254520
1200

04:29

87
257760
1216
感謝我的媽媽。
04:31
(Applause掌聲)
88
259000
3536
(掌聲)
04:34
And although雖然 I didn't
recognize認識 it at the time,
89
262560
2416
盡管我那個時候還沒有意識到,
04:37
claiming自稱 space空間 for myself
in that glorious輝煌 fourfour的Fourfour
90
265000
3256
這件超棒的演出服讓我自己感受到了認可,
04:40
was the first step towards becoming變得
a radical激進 fat脂肪 activist活動家.
91
268280
4880
它使我在成為徹底的肥胖活躍分子的道路上跨出了第一步。
04:46
Now, I'm not saying
that this whole整個 body-love身體的愛 thing
92
274080
2616
我不是說 “愛身體”這件事情,
04:48
has been an easy簡單 skip跳躍 along沿
a glittering金光閃閃 path路徑 of self-acceptance自我認同
93
276720
4256
在當時,
04:53
since以來 that day in class.
94
281000
1896
只是一個簡單的自我接受的過程。
04:54
Far from it.
95
282920
1200
還差得遠。
04:56
I soon不久 learned學到了 that living活的 outside
what the mainstream主流 considers考慮 normal正常
96
284760
4176
很快我就意識到,生活在主流認知之外,
05:00
can be a frustrating洩氣 and isolating隔離 place地點.
97
288960
2840
是一件令人沮喪和感到孤立的事情。
05:04
I've spent花費 the last 20 years年份 unpacking拆包
and deprogramming解除編程 these messages消息,
98
292640
4696
我在過去的二十年一直在嘗試剖析並且試圖擺脫這種心態的影響。
05:09
and it's been quite相當 the roller滾筒 coaster杯墊.

07:17
And these people have taught me
that radical激進 body身體 politics政治
137

是他們教會了我,這種對待身體的態度,
07:21
is the antidote解藥
to our body-shaming身體羞辱 culture文化.
138

能夠消除自己對身體產生的羞恥感。
07:25
But to be clear明確, I'm not saying
that people shouldn't不能 change更改 their bodies身體
139

但我不是說,人們不應該改變自己的體型,
07:30
if that's what they want to do.

07:47
It's simple簡單: it's your body身體,

這很簡單,因為這是妳的身體。
07:49
and you decide決定 what's best最好 to do with it.

07:55
is by doing all the things
that we fatties胖子 aren't supposed應該 to do,

And reclaiming回收 spaces空間 en masse集體
is not only a powerful強大 artistic藝術的 statement聲明

but a radical激進 community-building社區建設 approach途徑.
156

2560
同時也是一種徹底的構建群體的方式。

09:46
was, to put it mildly溫和, controversial爭論的,
180
574960
4096
是飽受爭議的。
09:51
because nothing like it had ever been doneDONE
on mainstream主流 dance舞蹈 stages階段 before
181

5016
因為在全世界都從未有人在主流的舞臺上,
09:56

做過類似的事情。
09:59

10:18
But despite儘管 the skepticism懷疑論,
188

盡管有這些懷疑者,

"Nothing to Lose失去" became成為

a comment評論 so absurd荒誕 that it is funny滑稽.
207

這個評論荒唐又可笑,
11:28
But it also speaks說話 to the panic恐慌,

但這也恰恰說明了,
11:30
the literal文字 terror恐怖,
209

1976
對肥胖的害怕,
11:32
that the fear恐懼 of fat脂肪 can evoke喚起.
210
680800
2080
能夠引發多大的恐慌。
11:35
It is this fear恐懼 that's feeding饋送
the diet飲食 industry行業,
211
683600
3376
正是這種恐懼促進了減肥產業的發展,
11:39
which哪一個 is keeping保持 so many許多 of us
from making製造 peace和平 with our own擁有 bodies身體,
212
687000
4776
它讓我們不再遵循自身的節奏,
11:43
for waiting等候 to be the after-photo後照片
213
691800
2296
我們不再去主動開始自己的生活,
11:46
before we truly start開始 to live生活 our lives生活.
214
694120
3256
而是不斷等待”減肥後“的自己。
11:49
Because the real真實 elephant
in the room房間 here is fatphobiafatphobia.
215
697400

真正讓我們生活變糟的,是肥胖恐懼癥。
11:54
Fat脂肪 activism行動 refuses拒絕 to indulge放縱 this fear恐懼.
