The New Materialism and Sexual Difference
This article examines key strands in the new materialism, which is differentiated from the materialism rooted in Marxism, and identifies two different claims that run through these new materialist positions.

Judith Butler: Sexual Politics, Social Change and the Power of the Performative
Changing Family Values
This book is a comprehensive introduction to contemporary debates and new research surrounding the family.

Then, drawing on the work of Gayatri Spivak and Diane Elam, I consider the…
