Episode 33! Coffee Cup Reading as Feminist Practice w/Zeynep Korkman
Other Armenias Podcast di Tamar R Shirinian and Milena Abrahamyan
Note sull'episodio
Zeynep Korkman tells us about her research on divination cafes in Turkey and we really get into coffee cup readings - what they mean, what they offer, how we love them and also how we have sometimes not loved them. Coffee cup reading is a feminine practice - and more, it also has potentials of being a feminist practice - "feminist visioning work" as Korman describes it in her beautiful book Gendered Fortunes (Duke University Press, 2023). For (feminist) fun, check out the YouTube video for this episode (at https://www.youtube.com/@OtherArmenias) to look at our cups and give us readings in the comments! Or tell us about your own experiences reading or having your cup read.
