Abstract

abstract:This article offers a reflection on the legacy of libertine botany from a contemporary perspective, arguing that its impulses and quirks can be found in projects such as Pony Express's "Ecosexual Bathhouse" art installation and the artivisim of Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens. The essay also offers a critique of some of these projects from an asexuality studies perspective, noting that they tend to take plants as avatars of sex positivity – thus occluding their asexual capacities—and that they often conflate categories such as the erotic and the sexual.

澡堂里的温室：生态性与自由植物学的遗产

文摘：本文从当代的角度对放荡植物学的遗产进行了反思，认为它的冲动和怪癖可以在Pony Express的“生态性澡堂”艺术装置和Annie Sprinkle和Beth Stephens的艺术作品中找到。这篇文章还从无性研究的角度对其中一些项目进行了批评，指出它们倾向于将植物作为性积极性的化身，从而掩盖了它们的无性能力，并且它们经常将色情和性等类别混为一谈。
