Abstract: This time, we continue to go polyphonic.Following Vol. 13 (Going Polyphonic I: With Namita Goswami et al.), Vol. 14 presents Monique Roelofs and Norman S. Holland's reflection on indigeneity, Sofie Vlaad on trans poetics, and Zairong Xiang on the penis.We hope you will continue to join us in this somewhat experimental virtual symposium that is not even on Zoom. We hope you will join us in thinking that this more literalized model of a "scholarly conversation," actual and virtual, vitally embodies the very spirit of interdisciplinary, intergenerational, intercontinental intersectionality as a conversation, ongoing intellectual encounters among many of us in various "sub-fields," for the lack of a better word, that ...

Abstract: Elaborating decolonial and intersectional methods of analysis, aesthetics has developed rich tools for conceptualizing power differences and the manifold ways they play into the experiences of cultural actors. Critical attention to the mechanisms of inequity and domination has brought to the surface conflicting dimensions of cultural life. As feminist theorists of race and coloniality have made clear, aesthetic productions hold meanings and make cultural effects that are contingent on intersecting social delineations of gender, race, class, sexuality, and coloniality. In turn, aesthetic productions foster social structures and positionings that push back against oppression and awaken previously unacknowledged, even ... Read More PubDate: 2024-03-27T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: In an important sense trans philosophy didn't exist at all, perhaps as recently as five years ago. Back then, I would have described my own research as situated at the intersections of disciplinary feminist philosophy and the inter- and multidisciplinary field of trans studies. The expression "trans philosophy" wasn't quite available, or at least, it didn't say very much. Perhaps that seems remarkable now.Trans of color poetics are a gesture of solidarity animated by a poetic ambiguity that make them more capacious. The formation "trans of color" reveals the limitations of the Western medical definition of transgender and calls for solidarity beyond its bounds.With the upcoming publication of the edited collection ...

Abstract: We need to talk about the penis, "that much shamed organ."2Many years ago, the saleswoman of the photo album for my parents' thirtieth wedding anniversary asked me in private when we found ourselves in the elevator alone, slightly embarrassed, "Can I ask you something' Your mom said you just finished an MA in gender studies, right'" "Yes'" I said. "A friend of mine, he has had this cyst on his penis for a while. Is that serious'" Gender studies, which sounds like the study of sex or sexology in Chinese, is, I told her, more like sociology—the study of society (which was not really what I studied, but more understandable than if I had said critical theory). So, I could not provide adequate medical advice, but in any ... Read More PubDate: 2024-03-27T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: As far as I know, my mother had a quite miserable life. Beginning with her (non-)relationship with her mother. As far as my own memories go back, she never saw her own mother again after her marriage, although they lived very close to one another, in Heemstede, the village near Haarlem where I grew up. I never met that grandmother, not ever. All I know is the stories my mother told us; my memories of her memories. Nothing cheerful there. Until her tenth year, the family lived in Indonesia, where mother's father was a teacher. She had two younger brothers, one of whom later also lived in that long street that led from Heemstede to the beach town Zandvoort. There, instead of going on vacation trips, we went on ...

Abstract: In response to the many dilemmas prompted by the global pandemic and political unrest of the last three years in the United States, the question of togetherness and solidarity in isolation has been central. For those in the field of art history, this question has been directly imbricated with considerations of the ability of visual arts to address such pressing matters. In the fall of 2021, as the first dire phase of the pandemic came to a close and many of us in higher education finally returned to campus after more than a year of virtual and remote teaching, the role of art objects in activating material-based, in-person learning became an especially hopeful prospect. As a group of graduate students (Elise ... Read More PubDate: 2024-03-27T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: "What does it mean," asks Helen Fielding in her rich and subtle Cultivating Perception through Artworks "to move phenomenal perception to the foreground … to be guided by the pulsating movement of life"' (170). The very question seduces, promising a way, forward or back, to another perceiving, one that could vivify contact to "what is actually there" buried beneath our habits of perceiving "according to the forms of my interests and the plans I impose from outside" (170). Since such entrenched habits of perceiving are diversely invested in calcified values of utility and objectivity, unleashing this "phenomenal perception" will require a self-project—a cultivation—that involves an effort, both rigorous and ...
