Globalizing dissent
This article considers the role of dissent in the making and remaking of contemporary international relations. The immediate aftermath of World War II was a period of interregnum. Prior security paradigms were exhausted while the three major political ideologies of conservatism, liberalism, and left radicalism competed around the world. The creation of the United Nations in 1945 was meant to facilitate the creation of a new global governance mode…
Governing superdiversity
The proliferation of models of diversity governance signals not just persistent unease with diversity itself, but also a trend toward increasingly intensive investments in governance and governmentality across political, social, and media platforms. And, following Sara Ahmed (2012), we are cognizant that the institutionalization of diversity may reinforce as much as it may disrupt whiteness. In our response, therefore, we first consider Elias and…
The labor of speech
This essay recovers the communication pedagogy that the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) developed as part of their outreach to immigrant men in the industries in the early-20th-century U.S.A. It brings into focus how the YMCA's teaching techniques negotiated the relation between labor and labor power by configuring sound, speech, and class subjectivity in a way that put in motion a form of productive affect. From this material history, t…
The organic crisis of Internationalism and the challenge of remembering alternative futures
The function and meaning of voting can vary across political systems. Despite its diffusion as a norm alongside the global spread of political liberalism in the post-colonial period, women's franchise continues to expose key fault lines in the foundations of democratic theory. Recalling the Third Comintern's debates and activities in the aftermath of World War I, this paper explores how gender organized the left's critiques of bourgeois parliamen…
From International to National Engagement and Back
In the United States and across the globe, World War I intensified anxieties about the relationship between cultural diversity and national identity. In that context, the Americanisation programmes of the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) bridged the organisation's international experiences with its domestic agenda of service work. This article recovers the YWCA's woman-centric methods for facilitating communication and civic engagement …
The Egoist Lifestyle
In 1996, some seven years after the fall of communism, Egoist emerged as the undisputed leader in the genre of lifestyle magazines in Bulgaria. It negotiated local gender discourses with the import of Western consumer culture. Most significantly, the magazine transformed its target demographic into a socially recognizable “new generation” tasked with steering the direction of the post-communist transition. This paper explores the formation, gende…
The Congressional Debates on the 19th Amendment
Through its analysis of the rhetorical means by which the US Congress overcame jurisdictional objections to federal action on the issue of woman suffrage, this essay argues that the stasis of jurisdiction operates as a mode of assemblage of discourses, institutions, and populations. In Congress, the woman suffrage issue helped re-organize federal and state prerogatives over the management of racial and ethnic relations at home and US leadership a…
