Existential Erotics
Reading Søren Kierkegaard through Gilles Deleuze, this article invites readers to engage with the existence-modes (aesthetic, ethical, and so on) as a series. The ‘either/or’, a site at which conditions for transformation emerge, becomes a prompt for tuning into the erotics of existence, from asexual and queer desires to creative passions. Turning to Audre Lorde’s existential account of erotics, the article makes the case for Kierkegaard’s import…

Design, disability and play: The animal politics of education
This article draws out the materialist import of the turn towards universal design in learning. Bringing Brian Massumi's recent work on play together with disability studies, it identifies design as integral to the embodied dynamics of classrooms. Contrasting neo-Darwinist presumptions with materialist insights by thinkers like Tim Ingold, the chapter makes the case for pedagogical methods that exemplify play. On Massumi's terms, play is instinct…
Kierkegaard, Despair and the Possibility of Education: Teaching Existentialism Existentially
Kierkegaard, Biopolitics and Critique in the Present Age

Kierkegaard becomes a…

Rethinking the Secular in Feminist Marriage Debates
The religious right often aligns its patriarchal opposition to same-sex marriage with the defence of religious freedom. In this article, I identify resources for confronting such prejudicial religiosity by surveying two predominant feminist approaches to same-sex marriage that are often assumed to be at odds: discourse ethics and queer critical theory. This comparative analysis opens to view commitments that may not be fully recognizable from wit…

Irigaray's To Be Two: The Problem of Evil and the Plasticity of Incarnation
Increasingly, feminist theorists, such as Alison Martin and Ellen T. Armour, are attending to the numerous religious allusions within texts by Luce Irigaray. Engaging with this scholarship, this paper focuses on the problematic of evil that is elaborated within Irigarayan texts. Mobilizing the work of Catherine Malabou, the paper argues that Malabou's methodology of reading, which she identifies as “plastic,” illuminates the logic at work within …
