Meme Aesthetics
To present a special issue of Representations on “meme aesthetics” may seem funny, irreverent, a lot of heft for something slight, veering on gimmicky, #cringe. But if so, this also describes the current cultural zeitgeist, because the meme has proven to be one of the more illustrative signs (and shapers) of our time. The meme certainly belongs to what Byung-Chul Han, following Vilém Flusser, calls “non-things”: “We are today experiencing the tra…
Withdrawal
Leo Bersani's writings on aesthetics, often coauthored with Ulysse Dutoit, repeatedly deploy the trope of withdrawal, finding in the aesthetic works they discuss, such as Jean-Luc Godard's film Contempt, a paradoxical double movement of bringing into view while projecting the erasure of form and distinction. In their reading of Contempt, Bersani and Dutoit adumbrate a uniformity that would depend on the elimination of measurement, reference, and …

Gag the Fag , or tops and bottoms, persons and things
Scholarly studies of pornography since the advent of Linda Williams’ Hard Core have typically assumed that pornography is a genre which pursues the secrets of sexual pleasure. But much recent online gay pornography, far from imagining a ‘pornotopia’ in which free agents endlessly pursue their mutual pleasure, stages a radical dichotomy between tops and bottoms, in which the bottom is rhetorically transformed into what Catharine MacKinnon once des…

Revisiting Postmodernism
This interview was conducted with Fredric Jameson on 13 March 2014 in New York City and has been lightly edited for clarity. On the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of "Postmodernism; or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism" in the New Left Review, Jameson looks back at the essay and considers the current state of capitalism, theory, art, and culture in relation to the concepts he adopted in 1984. Jameson is Knut Schmidt…
Orgasmology / Love and money
It is by now a critical commonplace that sexuality is central to the production of modern subjectivity. But as Annamarie Jagose reminds us in Orgasmology, sexuality has also functioned throughout t

Mind Over Muscle
[ES] Para muchas personas, las palabras “artes marciales japonesas” evocan imágenes de monjes voladores, chorros desangre y dientes rotos, o gamberros musculosos con puños callosos. Aunque sean muy populares en Occidente, las artes marciales japonesas evocan frecuentemente miedo, mistificación o simplemente un grito “¡whoohaaaah!”a lo Bruce Lee. Ciertamente, las artes marciales han atraído un gran número de artistas, gamberros y comediantes decid…
Bowing to your Enemies
Courtesy seems to be an essential part of budō , the Japanese martial ways. Yet there is no prima facie relationship between fighting and courtesy. Indeed, we might think that violence and aggression are antithetical to etiquette and care. By situating budō within the three great Japanese traditions of Shintō, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism, this article reveals the intimate relationship between courtesy and the martial arts. It suggests that cou…
Knowing thyself … in private
Dis/affected
Not Easy Being Green
There are many places that we must save from destruction. Sadly, they are mostly distant from us. If we accept Heidegger's notion of Being-in-the-World, this distance means that we cannot authentically speak of their Being. Even if we 'dwell' in our own lands, we are not 'at home' in these beautiful places. However, if we cannot speak of their Being, of what 'is', how can we ask logging and mining multinationals to stop destroying them? This spee…
Why Rights are Never Enough
In order to address obvious inequities, rights have been utilised to provide the 'basic' material needs for many groups. Whilst this brings some groups/individuals up to a perceived minimum standard, it unfortunately fails to address the misunderstandings from which the inequities originally stemmed. Via a sociological and philosophical exploration of rights-based strategies relating to intellectual disability, the purpose of this paper is to pro…
