L’impossible résistance: Un parcours féministe au sein de l’Université américaine au Texas
Cet article examine les contradictions inhérentes au dispositif réglementaire encadrant les discriminations de genre et les violences sexuelles et sexistes dans l’enseignement supérieur états-unien. À partir d’un cas de recours pour harcèlement sexuel, qui a lieu dans le contexte politique du Texas, au sein d’une université publique et régionale, notre analyse met l’accent sur des stratégies de contournement nécessaires pour faire face à une cult…
Interrupting “The Sadist’s Gaze”
This article proposes that returning Denise Riley’s work on (and troubling of) the category of “women” offers a feminist theorizing and politics that remains both critical and relevant to the political present. It argues that reading Riley again, alongside other anti-essentialist feminist thinkers, reveals the distinctiveness, force, and capaciousness of her project, which lay in her attention to historicity, form, language, and affect. It is pre…
State Violence, Justice, And The Suffering Of Others
In 1955, Alain Resnais's now canonical documentary, Nuit et Brouillard ( Night and Fog ) ended with an ominous question, asking “who, among us, is keeping watch from this strange watchtower [of the ruins of Auschwitz] to warn of the arrival of our new executioners” who might bring about the return of the “concentrationary plague?” One man had already made it his mission to do so: the French writer and former political deportee David Rousset. Rous…
Feminist matters, critique and the future of the political
Over the last decades, many scholars, feminist and others, have argued that critique must be reframed in different and more 'productive' ways because its 'conventional' formulation and practice have outlived its usefulness as a conceptual tool. Instead, they have called for affirmation or affirmative critique and a more generative mode of critical engagement in the search for new imaginaries, transformative potentialities and other futures. New f…
Being in Parentheses
Diane Kurys is known in French cinema for her popular, seemingly apolitical and “sentimental” films. Kurys's early films, however, chart a mode of historical consciousness, memory, and temporality that alerts us to both the origins and afterlives of May ’68. In the widely celebrated 1977 Diabolo menthe, set in 1963 just after the end of the Franco-Algerian War, and the 1980 commercial and critical flop Cocktail Molotov, which took May ’68 as its …
My Body was Aflame with His Memory’: War, Gender and Colonial Ghosts in Hiroshima mon amour (1959)
This article argues that historicising the iconic 1959 French film Hiroshima mon amour reveals a different set of meanings that most scholars have overlooked. As France found itself embroiled in the brutal and bloody Algerian War of Independence, many started reflecting on the meaning and aftereffects of the Second World War. Despite its anti‐colonial universalist humanism, Hiroshima remains haunted by colonial ghosts and fantasies of post‐war ‘A…
Jennifer L. Sweatman. The Risky Business of French Feminism: Publishing, Politics, and Artistry
Returning to the subject of second-wave “French feminism” is a timely endeavor. Indeed, little has been published on the topic since the early 1990s. Jennifer L. Sweatman’s The Risky Business of French Feminism: Publishing, Politics, and Artistry is symptomatic of the recent resurgence of interest in second-wave feminist movements across the West. Sweatman’s study is an especially intriguing enterprise because she analyzes an aspect of twentieth-…
The Aesthetics of Hate: Far-Right Intellectuals, Antisemitism, and Gender in 1930s France
This book examines the writings of a motley collection of interwar far-right intellectuals, showing that they defined Frenchness in racial, gendered, and sexual terms. A broad, ambitious cultural and intellectual history, the book offers a provocative reinterpretation of a topic that has long been the subject of controversy. In works infused with rhetorics of abjection, disgust, and dissolution, such writers as Maulnier, Brasillach, Céline, and B…
The Subject and the Work of Difference: Gender, Sexuality, and Intellectual History
In her epilogue, Tracie Matysik argues that “questions of universalism, difference, and morality beyond the law have returned with a new force” (256). Similarly, in hers, Judith Surkis shows how the recent virulent controversies around the headscarf in republican French schools and their attendant legislation have a genealogy in the vibrant fin de siècle debates on pedagogy, secularism, and citizenship (243–8). Few would argue with Surkis and Mat…
Bhangra blues: Melancholy, memory, and history in Gurinder Chadha’s I’m British But
Gurinder Chadha inaugurated her career in 1989 with the documentary film I'm British But ... celebrating the South Asian music and dance form of bhangra as symptomatic of a new generation in the wake of the anti‐racist politics and cultural innovation of 1980s Thatcherite Britain. This article suggests that the film's possibilities go beyond mapping out the reinventions of Asian British youth culture, as it offers more than an archive of the "pol…
