Abstract: If after the appearance of The History of Sexuality (1976) many works in sexuality studies could be reasonably described as "After Foucault," then Benjamin Kahan's ambitious work is best described in addition as "After Sedgwick" (115). 1 Self-professed as a "susained exploration of [Eve Kosofsky Sedg wick's] work and thought in order to understand its impact," The Book of Minor Perverts explicitly positions itself as a study that aims to more fully describe, if not cut, the "Gordian Knots" that still remain unresolved and undertheorized in the field of sexuality studies in the wake of Sedgwick's critical insights in her 1990 ...

Abstract: Social theory in and of itself can be a daunting scholarly enterprise—not least when framed within and through critical positionalities. While intersectionality at first glance may seem to be a relatively approachable social theory, especially given its increasing popularity in scholarly and popular modalities, it has proven to be substantively rich, complex, and consequential. In Intersectionality as Critical Social Theory, Patricia Hill Collins, pre-eminent scholar of intersectionality, takes on the ambitious project of positioning intersectionality as a critical social theory and illuminating the productive possibilities for ...

Abstract: Distant Horizons collects about a decade of cutting-edge literary digital humanities (DH) work into a concise, accessible volume. The five chapters work equally well as standalone experiments or in the service of Ted Underwood's overarching argument that DH reconfigures our understanding of literary history. It's a clear must read for anyone working in literary DH (especially text mining) or in literary history more generally, and when it is inevitably added to dozens of syllabi, both students and teachers will find a lot to admire. Yet the most profound achievement of the book is its demonstration of a genuinely new kind of ... Read More PubDate: 2021-12-26T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: In the spring of 1970, the photographer Peter Hujar was asked by his erstwhile boyfriend, Jim Fouratt, an organizer for the Gay Liberation Front (GLF), to help him create a poster that would advertise the first Christopher Street Liberation March, commemorating the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots (figure 1). Fouratt devised the poster design of GLF members running through the street beneath the superimposed slogan "Come Out!!" and had Hujar take the picture. The poster has since become an iconic image of gay pride, albeit an ironic one. Only fifteen people showed up to the final photo shoot, and the photograph's appearance of gender parity ...

Abstract: Niña Weijers's debut novel The Consequences (2014) tells the story of Minnie Panis, a young and talented Dutch artist, her troubled personal life, and her rise in the international art world. Its plot is replete with references to the history and present of performance art, as well as to performance as a key element in practices of self-presentation in the contemporary art world and postindustrial society in general. Panis is inspired, among others, by the work of performance artists such as Ana Mendieta and Marina Abramović; she visits the latter's much discussed performance The Artist Is Present at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York in 2010 and experiments herself with transgressing the boundaries ...

Abstract: Kate Millett has not been adequately located in the history of criticism. Although feminist history has accepted and assimilated her contributions to feminist activism and scholarship, her literary critical legacy is less visible. Few considered her a literary critic at all, and even when her readers understood her as such, they often saw her as practicing "bad" literary criticism. Many of her critics, feminist and otherwise, considered Millett's 1970 text Sexual Politics a cautionary tale about feminist literary criticism's excessive interest in the political at the expense of the aesthetic. Because of these judgments about Millett's central text, we have not fully understood her role in the rise of cultural ... Read More PubDate: 2021-12-26T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: For decades now, the categories of nature and the natural have been under such suspicion in the humanities as to be all but unusable for critical social thought.1 The suspicion is not without foundation. Theorists have been understandably wary of the reactionary uses to which such ideas can be put, not least as regards the policing of women's and queer bodies (i.e., the valorization of the socially normative as natural) and the association of nonwhite peoples with the precivilized and the "savage" (the disparagement of the purportedly natural as inhuman, violent, and untamed). Perhaps less often noted is that nature signifies rather differently in different instances of such suspicion. Critical wariness toward that ... Read More PubDate: 2021-12-26T00:00:00-05:00
