Private’ diplomacy and nuclear disarmament
This article uses some of Karen Knop’s insights throughout her career, including about the World War I-era women’s peace movement, to resurface and reread the anti-nuclear activism of the international women’s peace movement of the mid-to-late 1980s. It focuses specifically on the history and work of Women for a Meaningful Summit (WMS), an ad hoc group of women who came together to exert, through what some participants called ‘private’ diplomacy,…
Reading the room
In this "hundreds" honoring Kathleen Stewart, I recount a memory rooted in an experience of misrecognition. The memory functions as a prompt for exploring the affective impact of being in the wrong place
Looking Back to Think Forward
The end of the Cold War wrought a shift in international legal priorities and preoccupations, including among feminists. When feminist approaches to international law, particularly to human rights and humanitarian law, began to make headway in the early 1990s, they had already left behind some of the anti-imperial and anti-military emphases of much of the internationally informed feminism of the 1970s and 80s. Here, I revisit some of those Cold W…
Foot notes
In this article, I describe the experience of a chronic pain diagnosis. Combining memoir, medical history, and literary precedents, I begin with a reflection on my own history with walking. Walking leads to foot pain which eventually leads to diagnosis of a full-body chronic condition: fibromyalgia. Through an exploration of the history of hysteria, one of fibromyalgia's ancestors, I consider some of the resonances between these conditions
Feminist Legacies
In February 2013, Navi Pillay, then UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, gave a speech to the General Assembly reflecting on the twenty years that had passed since the Vienna World Conference on Human Rights. She discussed three principal achievements of the Vienna Declaration and Programmeof Action, two of which were “its role in advancing women’s rights” and “its impact on the fight against impunity.” With regard to the first, she discussed t…
The Boondoggle
This paper recounts the surprising and disastrous results of attempting to do historical photographic research at a private archive. I had travelled to the Lee Miller Archives, in Sussex, UK, in order to conduct some preliminary research on Miller’s war work between the years 1944 and 1945. My intention was to begin comparing the drafts, original manuscripts, negatives, and captions to what Vogue published in both the US and the UK. The Archives …
Becoming Monument, Activating Windsor
What does it mean to live in a dying place? This auto-critical article asks this question in the context of the Windsor/Detroit region, one of the most economically depressed zones in North America. Using the work of Barthes, Benjamin, and Taussig, I ruminate on the psycho-somatic experiences of trying to navigate a world that most writers have already dismissed as haunted and abandoned
Celebrity diplomacy and global citizenship
‘Heal a rape victim’: This possibility is one of many that Oprah Winfrey's ‘For All Women Registry’ offers to those who are willing to donate ‘$5 or 5 minutes’. Such appeals on Oprah's website repr
On Fragile Architecture
This article traces the development of the international human rights and international indigenous rights movements, with a particular eye towards their points of convergence and divergence and the extent to which each has influenced the other. Focusing on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, it argues that the document, while apparently pushing the envelope in its articulation of self-determination and collective r…
« Aux armes ! »
Au cours des vingt dernières années, les droits des femmes ont été progressivement considérés comme faisant intégralement partie des droits de l’homme, au moment même où tant les conservateurs que les libéraux ont appelé à des interventions militaires à but humanitaire en réponse à certaines violations des droits de l’homme. Les premiers ont ainsi commencé à recourir au langage des droits de l’homme, voire du droit des femmes, afin de justifier c…
Putting Mourning to Work
This article investigates the work of mourning following the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington on September 11, 2001. Combining discussions of mourning, kitsch and sentimentality, I examine the perverse transformation of grief into patriotic nationalism. Linking Freud's description of mourning as work with Derrida's articulation of grief as 'a work working at its own unproductivity', I explore how grief has been paired with icons of Am…
From Skepticism to Embrace
In 1947, the Executive Board of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) submitted its Statement on Human Rights to the United Nations. 1 Anthropologists have been embarrassed ever since. In the late 1940s, anthropologists were embarrassed because they saw the Statement as limiting tolerance. In recent years, embarrassment has derived from a sense that the document refused to place a limit on tolerance
