Do I look Jewish in this? A phenomenological approach to intercorporeality and racism
Racialised interactions inform the corporeal memory of both racists and their victims. This translates in bodily styles which reproduce alienated intercorporeal exchanges. The racial abjection of the victims is embedded at the somatic level in a racialise
Ain't I a woman? Female landmine survivors' beauty pageants and the ethics of staring
The paper addresses the recent flurry of beauty pageants as reintegration rituals which specifically aim at the symbolic integration of some stigmatized embodied identities: Miss HIV (Botswana, Uganda, Nigeria, Zimbabwe but also Russia), Mr or Ms AIDS (Kenya) and the most recent Miss Landmine (Angola, Cambodia). The paper explores this moral discomfort through its relations to a number of unresolved issues: the ambiguous status of beauty, the com…
Anti-discrimination Laws, Islamophobia, and Ethnicization of Muslim Identities in Europe and Australia

The Beur movement acquired national significance via the politicisation of moral protest in the early 1980s. In spite of early successes, the movement stumbled when the 'politics of austerity' adopted by the French state amplified a social crisis for which migrants became the scapegoats. The Beur movement, like other youth movements of the period, expre…
Victims or Offenders
Veiled Objects of (Post)‐Colonial Desire
Three girls refusing to remove their headscarves in classrooms sparked a national debate in France lasting three months. This paper analyses the debate, dominated by both French and Maghrebi men in the light of the disruptions of gender and power relations caused by postcolonial immigration
