The Value of Representation
The Cambridge Handbook for the Anthropology of Gender and Sexuality
The tense but enduring engagement between anthropology and gender and sexuality studies has had profound effects upon anthropological theory and practice. Bringing together contributions from an international team of authors, this Handbook shows that anthropological work has taken inspiration from feminist and LGBTQI movements to create a transformative body of research. It provides an accessible, state-of-the-art overview of the anthropology of …
Borders of desire
Borders of Desire is a collection of studies from the eastern borders of Europe, particularly the Baltics and the Balkans, that take a novel approach to borders and the work they do. Instead of viewing borders only as obstructions to the fulfillment of desire, this book shows how borders produce desire, particularly gendered and sexualized desire

Vulnerability and the Human in Judith Butler’s and Adriana Cavarero’s Feminist Thought
In this article I explore the use of the term vulnerability in the work of two leading feminist theorists, Adriana Cavarero and Judith Butler. Approaching their work with the ‘politics of philosophy’ method I show how Cavarero’s and Butler’s usage of the term vulnerability in relation to other terms in their texts testifies for differences in their relation to the academic tradition of philosophy. I argue that Cavarero’s usage of the term shows t…

Judith Butler’s Politics of Philosophy in Notes Toward a Performative Theory of Assembly – Arendt, Cavarero, and Human “Appearing” and “Plurality”
The article analyses Judith Butler’s Notes Toward a Performative Theory of Assembly (2015), arguing that the volume can be read as presenting Butler’s politics of philosophy with respect to Hannah Arendt and Adriana Cavarero, and the existentialist philosophy of the human that they represent. The first part of the article introduces the approach of the “politics of philosophy,” and the rest of the article scrutinizes Butler’s use of two concepts,…
The Role of Darwin in Elizabeth Grosz's Deleuzian Feminist Theory
In this article on Elizabeth Grosz's philosophy and its implications for discussions about feminist theory, I first suggest that Charles Darwin plays a particular role in Grosz's recent ontological thought. This role is to provide help in joining together two incompatible sources in her work: Gilles Deleuze's monistic ontology of a constant flow of new differentiations, on the one hand, and Luce Irigaray's thought of sexual difference as the prim…
Emancipation and Politicisation
Feelings of Injustice
This essay concerns the contingent and pluralized history of feminist institutions in academia, arguing against two commonly misconstrued oppositions: first, that between the feminist movement and feminist academic institutions; and second, that between the feminist focus on gender (and women) and on sexuality (and minorities). Feminist institutions, the essay contends, are inseparably both academic and activist. Referring to Jean-François Lyotar…
Political Representation
Political representation is a theme in democratic theory. Modern democracies are representative democracies, which means that the representatives make political decisions on behalf of the citizens who elect them. According to the idea of popular sovereignty, the will of the people is expressed through its representatives. In all current democracies, the representatives are disproportionately male, and there are patterns of systematic underreprese…
Identity and Intervention
Within the past 40 years, feminist studies/women's studies/gender studies/studies in gender and sexuality has effectively grown into a globally practised academic discipline while simultaneously resisting the notion of disciplinarity and strongly advocating multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, and transdisciplinarity. In this article, I argue that gaining identity through refusing an identity can be viewed as being a constitutive paradox of …
Introduction
Werner Hamacher raises the question of whether it is possible to read Hegel without catching and keeping and thus murdering and burying him. It is a question that resonates through the history of the reception and interpretation of Hegel's thought from his most immediate successors to the present.2 As many commentators have pointed out, Hegel's work is open to being read in so many different ways that any given interpretation, however historicall…
Hegel's Philosophy and Feminist Thought
Although Hegel and feminism seem an unlikely couple, Hegelian philosophy played a prominent part in the thinking of groundbreaking feminist philosophers from Simone de Beauvoir to Luce Irigaray. This
Tradition, Gender and Democracy to Come - Derrida on Fraternity
Tradition is frequently evoked as the main obstacle to modern democracy, and very often, traditionalism and lack of democratic culture are expressed in terms of gender. The patriarchal organization of what is understood as ‘traditional societies’ is spotted as the cause that both slows down the advancement of democracy and oppresses women in these societies. This article was triggered by the highlight which the contrast between tradition and mode…

Hannah Arendt and the Politics of Philosophy
Many recent interpretations of Hannah Arendt's work, such as those of Bonnie Honig (1) and Dana Villa, (2) have placed it in proximity with claims about thought. Using term the as it is often distinguished from the I refer here to a nonfoundational orientation in thinking. More precisely, unlike modern, does not aspire to uncover origin, basic level, true essence, or pure core of phenomena that it studies. While modern thought is motivated by aim…
Valtio – On Conceptual History of the Finnish ‘State’
Redescriptions: Political Thought, Conceptual History and Feminist Theory is an international refereed open access journal, which publishes contributions on the transdisciplinary study of concepts. In classical rhetoric, ‘redescription’ refers to a rhetorical move that alters the use of a concept in one respect or another. The journal draws attention to conceptual moves within political theory, conceptual history and feminist thought, and highlig…
