Special Issue
Curating Queer Feminist Cinema
“Curating Queer Feminist Cinema” examines the relations between the local and the transnational by considering the history and politics of queer feminist film curation in London. It takes the form of a conversation between the editor of the Special Issue, James S. Williams, and British queer feminist film programmer and curator Selina Robertson, who co-founded Club des Femmes, a London-based queer feminist curating collective. The discussion cons…
Introduction
This introduction briefly traces the development of historical and philosophical responses to COVID-19 in its longue durée and considers the pandemic’s lasting biopolitical effects in contemporary digital culture and its implications for democratic mechanisms and citizenship in Europe. It is argued that the present juncture constitutes a crucial and propitious moment in European thought and culture to take general stock of COVID-19 and to re-pres…
Classifying Australian citizens' responses to Covid ‐19 preventative behaviour directives
The primary defence against COVID‐19 has been the implementation of public health measures that rely on voluntary compliance with behavioural directives. Compliance is often conceptualised as a single dimension, but there may be distinct patterns of compliance with COVID‐19 preventative behaviours. This study examined behavioural profiles in response to preventative behaviour directives during the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic in Australi…
Critical Theory, Culture Change, and Achieving Health Equity in Health Care Settings
Achieving optimal health for all requires confronting the complex legacies of colonialism and white supremacy embedded in all institutions, including health care institutions. As a result, health care organizations committed to health equity must build the capacity of their staff to recognize the contemporary manifestations of these legacies within the organization and to act to eliminate them. In a culture of equity, all employees—individually a…
Redemption Song
This article explores how Steve McQueen’s acclaimed 2020 pentalogy Small Axe (BBC) appears paradoxically to swerve away from Black British history in the very act of retrieving it. By examining key moments in Mangrove, Red, White and Blue, and Alex Wheatley, it argues that the constant tension between a push toward history and the pull of the aesthetic is the result of McQueen’s reformulation of “racial uplift” aesthetics that privileges exceptio…
Queering the Migrant in Contemporary European Cinema
A Thousand Suns
This article explores the aesthetic and political implications of the 2013 experimental short Mille Soleils (A Thousand Suns) by the Franco-Senegalese director Mati Diop. Placing it within the specific context of Djibril Diop Mambety's legendary 1973 feature, Touki Bouki, which it references directly, the article reveals how Diop (Mambety's niece) crafts an urgent, sensuous, and highly original form of documentary fiction that draws on, and exten…
The geography of Buddhism in the Four Corners states
While only 1–2% of US residents self-identify as Buddhist, this faith is expanding and diffusing rapidly despite its dissonance with American individualism and traditional Judeo-Christian ideals. Using data from recent surveys of religion, Internet searches, and a phone survey, this paper explores the diffusion of Buddhism into four distinct cultural settings: Colorado (secular, progressive), Utah (Mormon, conservative), New Mexico (Catholic, pol…
Open-sourcing French culture
This article examines in detail the intertextual sources and transcultural strategies of Abdellatif Kechiche’s first three films: La Faute à Voltaire/Blame it on Voltaire (2000), L’Esquive/Games of Love and Chance (2003), and La Graine et le mulet/Couscous (2007). It assesses to what degree Kechiche subverts the cultural and symbolic frame politically within the lived context of multi-ethnic France, or simply re-stages the diasporic experience wi…
Framing Exclusion
This article examines the spatial representation of cultural mixité in the latest film by Laurent Cantet. It takes the form of a close reading of Entre les murs (2008), which, while illustrating well the failings of French education and specifically its republican ideals of assimilation, appears also to endorse the benign authoritarianism of the one teacher featured and to frame the pupils themselves as the source of the problem. Taking into acco…
Histoire(s) Du Cinéma
This essay reviews the DVD boxed set of Jean-Luc Godard's experimental, philosophical, argumentative video essay on the history of film and the twentieth century. The essay stresses Godard's remarkable use of montage to create new and provocative juxtapositions that carry unique emotional, historical, and political charge.
Resurrecting Cocteau
The recent exhibition held in 2003–2004 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris entitled Jean Cocteau, sur le fil du siècle provided the opportunity to reappraise Cocteau's work and influence. However, his rebranding as a quintessential postmodern artist conformed to the normative aims of France's state-sanctioned culture. By highlighting key aspects of the show and its various strategies to ‘clean up’ Cocteau, including the effective imposition of a tab…
Écrire, réécrire
Textes réunis et présentés par Bernard Alazet. (L'Icosathèque 19). Paris — Caen, Lettres Modernes Minard, 2002. 188 pp. Pb €19.00. In a brief Avant-propos the editor presents the volume's central aim: to examine the effects and stakes of rewriting in Duras in order to prove that ‘écrire’ is always ‘réécrire’. This is a rather dusty and uninspiring critical project when viewed in the light of much previous Duras criticism, but it is pursued in dif…
