After Trans Studies
This dialogue contends with the state of trans studies today. While the authors differ in their levels of optimism for its future, they both agree that if trans studies is to survive, it must be able articulate a fresh set of reading practices distinct from, or even at odds with, those of queer studies. Revisiting Sandy Stone's field-defining 1991 essay “The Empire Strikes Back,” they note that trans studies paradoxically begins with a call to ab…
The Impossibility of Feminism
This essay argues that feminism is impossible. After examining a recent #MeToo episode-a bad sexual encounter between actor Aziz Ansari and a woman named Grace-as a case study in feminist disappointment, the essay turns to several key seventies feminist texts to reconstruct their theories of bad sex. By taking bad sex as the model for women's oppression, seventies feminists crafted a culturalist theory of patriarchy logically culminating in lesbi…
Black Infinity
Hegel's remarks on Africa in the Lectures on the Philosophy of World History are notorious among critics and defenders alike—in particular Hegel's claim that the Atlantic slave trade, while unjust, was superior to native African slavery and thus should be abolished only gradually. Joining an ongoing conversation in black studies interrogating freedom's status as a structuring desideratum of critical and political practice, I argue that for Hegel,…
The Wrong Wrong Body
From 2010 to 2012, Juliet Jacques penned an immensely popular autobiographical column for the Guardian while transitioning from male to female. With Trans: A Memoir, Jacques reworks and expands on her earlier work with biting wit and brutal intimacy. But as Sandy Stone (1991) pointed out over two decades ago, transsexuality is just as much an issue of genre as of gender, and Jacques remains deeply suspicious of the transition memoir. Her wryly ge…
Study in blue
As contemporary student activists in the United States embrace a vocabulary of trauma and microaggressions, some critics on the left consider this a depoliticizing move symptomatic of the university’s growing thralldom to neoliberalism. The author argues that such criticism neglects how talk of trauma and microaggressions attempts to affectively manage structural violence’s failure to manifest in the form of discrete, identifiable, and extraordin…
