Redeeming marriage? Bittersweet intimacy and the dialectics of liberation among Haredi Jews in London
This article intervenes in feminist anthropological debates about marriage within Western cosmopolitan, 'post-traditional' contexts through a close ethnographic examination of food and ritualized meals among Haredi Jews in London. We focus on this diasporic religious Jewish minority, whose marital practices have been the object of debates over marriage, gender, and cultural difference in cosmopolitan London. Learning from ethnographic and conjuga…

‘A Child Is Being Eaten’: Psychoanalysis in Times of Antiblackness
Géza Róheim's psychoanalytic, colonial archive is one of the few attempts to document the psychic life of subjects living under settler colonialism. Historians of psychoanalysis have examined Róheim's contributions to the psychoanalytic study of Aboriginal childhood, as well as his exploration of Aboriginal maternal subjectivity. However, Róheim's account of Aboriginal maternal cannibalism needs more attention, as accusations of cannibalism often…

The Royal Road to the Colonial Unconscious: Psychoanalysis, Cannibalism, and the Libidinal Economy of Colonialism
Neste artigo, exploro a economia libidinal do colonialismo sob a perspectiva do canibalismo (como fantasia ocidental sobre o outro exótico e subumano). Para isso, sigo de perto as referências ao canibal no arsenal de tropos literários anticoloniais e em dois poemas de Oswald de Andrade e Aimé Césaire. Embora a identificação anticolonial com o canibal engendre o potencial de uma reapropriação ameaçadora do que foi roubado colonialmente, mostro que…

On Queerness, Motherhood and the Gift of Belonging
This piece reflects on my experience as an intern for the journal Studies in the Maternal. I wish to suggest that this internship was something more than just an accumulation of professional skills. Starting from the discomfort of belonging as a queer woman, to a community structured around motherhood, I suggest that it is the disembodied image of the mother—psychoanalytically, and sociologically sustained—that did not allow me to explore links b…
Community beyond Identity
The key theme of this paper is to rethink of the concept of community, as inspired by three specific works: “The Inoperative Community” by Jean-Luc Nancy, “The Coming Community” by Giorgio Agamben, and “Communitas: The Origin and Destiny of Community” by Roberto Esposito. These three diverse procedures deconstructing community do not suggest a political program or a master discourse about 'how a community should be'. On the contrary, they pose a …
