You have to survive

Eschewing classic western definitions…
Both/And Aesthetics
This essay reads Brigid Brophy’s 1969 novel In Transit: An Heroi-Cyclic Novel alongside How to Be Both (2014), by the Scottish writer Ali Smith. It argues that the literary and sexual-political preoccupations of Brophy’s text are in great measure consistent with those that contemporary writers such as Smith are currently exploring. In particular, Brophy’s work anatomizes the artificial relationship between sex and gender, the dominance of heteros…

Decolonizing Trauma Studies
Decolonizing trauma theory has been a major project in postcolonial literary scholarship ever since its first sustained engagements with trauma theory. Since then, trauma theory and postcolonial literary studies have been uneasy bedfellows, and the time has now come to take stock of what remains in postcolonial trauma studies from the original formulations of trauma theory, and see which further steps must be envisaged in order to reach the ideal…

Sarah Schulman's queer diasporas
This essay considers the usefulness of the concept of ‘queer diaspora’ in relation to the work of US lesbian writer Sarah Schulman. According to Gayatri Gopinath, ‘The concept of a queer diaspora enables a simultaneous critique of heterosexuality and the nation form while exploding the binary opposition between nation and diaspora, heterosexuality, original and copy’ (p. 11). Since her debut novel, The Sophie Horowitz Story, published in 1984, Sc…
