The Battle for Recognition
This article analyzes the latest efforts by opponents of same-sex marriage to frame their battle against this practice as a matter of religious liberty. This strategy is found in federal and state public policy, as well as the discourse of the religious right, situating their opposition within the tradition of multiculturalism, by characterizing religious individuals as an oppressed minority in need of protection. By framing the opposition to sam…
Witnessing as activism
The practice of external witnessing—bearing witness to someone else's suffering—is often criticized as further destroying the victim's subjectivity. As a result, this approach limits the use of the practice to extreme cases in which victims lack the ability to speak for themselves. This article argues against limiting the use of the practice by tracing its potential to promote identification with the Other, thus undermining cases of dehumanizatio…
The Regulation of Exploitation
Feminist scholarship on exploitation in assisted reproduction focuses primarily on structural inequalities in society and, particularly, within the medical system. This approach most often determines that these technologies are universally oppressive toward women. This discourse, while valuable, overlooks the interaction between universal structural forces and local conditions that, together, shape exploitation within fertility medicine. This pro…

While the politics of care may call th…
Normalizing violence
This article analyzes the architectural and administrative transformation of some military checkpoints inside the Occupied Territories into ‘terminals.’ The new ‘terminals’ have been presented as replacing the military checkpoints operating as ‘state of exception’ with a ‘normalized’ legal order and ‘modernized’ forms of power. As this article reveals, however, the Israeli authorities’ claim of normalization and modernization is false and mislead…
