Physiques/Physics over Figures
Already anticipating the effects of algorithmic calculation and other computer management of human life, the James Bond films regularly pit Bond's human talents against electronic villany, where Bond - and the human - inevitably win the day. From the first film in the series, Dr. No, Bond films have evinced a nostalgia both for a human aegis over computing machines and for a past of human endeavour and victory already stylised as the tropes of th…
In Dignity
As long as the United States perpetuates the unequal statuses of males and females in the Constitution, dignity will mean different things to each. While males automatically have the dignity and worth of fully enfranchised citizens, females must accept a version of dignity based upon the manner in which they acquiesce to their legally inferior position. In suing the United States Soccer Foundation for equal pay, The United States Women’s Soccer t…
So Much Blue
Percival Everett's 2017 novel, So Much Blue, follows the figure of a hidden painting as the decoy that distracts attention from the narrator's disavowed feelings and desires. Recounting the narrator's experiences in a revolutionary El Salvador, a Parisian romantic fling, and the entanglements of confidentiality in his own family, the novel reveals what it seems to hide; the secret is ever and always present
Sex and the Single Nerd
The Anaclitic Critic
Everett’s Hypernarrator
The narrators of Percival Everett’s many novels have become hypernarrators, fronting a far more complex, systemic, multidimensional effect that reflects the growing complexity and paradigmatic shifts of narrative itself. Insofar as narrators are an effect of the narrative, the narrators of Everett’s later novels such as Erasure, American Desert, and Glyph, point to a species of narrative that produces a rich, polyvalent resonance from the dissona…

Basic Instinct
Basic InstinctA Response to Ramadanovic Judith Roof (bio) In his timely critique of revisionist kinship studies, Petar Ramadanovic identifies "taboo" as the sticking point where the potentially liberatory value of such discourses disappears. Ramadanovic sets out to rethink taboo, hypothesizing that the "function of the taboo" is to operate as "a fundamental rule that makes sexuality" and "can, of course, be filled with whatever incidental content…

The Essentials of Lesbian Studies
The Ideology of Fair Use
Looking at the metaphorical similarities between abortion statutes and copyright law reveals reproductive laws’ stake in property ideologies. “Fair use” provisions in copyright law are analogous to abortion rights, delimiting the extent to which a non-owner (one who copies, a mother) can exert control over material “belonging” to another. The similarity suggests that the way to understand abortion fury is as a manifestation of property rights
