Quicumque Meos Violavit Amores
One common thesis on the underworld of Tibullus 1.3 suggests that the elegist casts the prisoners of Tartarus as enemies of love. In this article, I argue that the residents of Hades correspond not to nebulous obstacles between Tibullus and Delia but rather to precise character types readers encounter throughout the elegies. I consider specific verbal correspondences in book 1 of Tibullus to highlight parallels between Tityos and the farmer–soldi…
My room is like my sanctuary’
Since austerity policies in the UK began in 2010, homelessness has risen rapidly. Drawing from feminist geographical theories and methodologies, this paper examines experiences of homelessness under austerity in Haringey, London through photo‐elicitation research with one participant, Tessa. This paper argues that home(un)making—the constantly shifting balance of homemaking and unmaking—is central to everyday experiences of, and resistance to, au…
‘Actually what is happening is that these constructs are being built for us’
It is widely accepted that race is socially constructed. Despite this, deference to race witnesses scholarship and activism becoming complicit in the reification of race and the reproduction of its effects. Gilroy describes ‘‘the pious ritual in which we always agree that ‘‘race’’’ is invented but then are required to defer to its embeddedness in the world and to accept that the demand for justice requires us nevertheless innocently to enter the …
Because for us, as Europeans, it is only normal again when we are great again
The purported utopian multiculture of the Obama era has shown itself to be little more than a postracial fantasy with structural racism persisting and indeed intensifying. The short-lived illusion of harmony and "progress" experienced a significant rupture with the "white backlash" in 2010 and evolved into a pervasive social force with Trump's election. This article analyses the resurgence of a mainstreaming white nationalism following the 2016 p…
Not Black and White, but Black and Red
This article critically examines #AllLivesMatter, which emerged as a rebuttal to #BlackLivesMatter, arguing, in spite of its universalist pretentions, that it represents a cloaked identitarian politics which through a hegemonic narrative (re)presents itself as a radically inclusionary counter-narrative. I argue All Lives Matter exemplifies an anti-identity identity politics by invoking rhetoric in opposition to racial identities while smuggling i…
Post-racial futures
Can the theoretical insights of post-racialism contribute to the development of a progressive anti-racism? Drawing on interviews with anti-racist organizations in London, this article explores the translation of the theoretical insights of post-racialism into anti-racist praxis. Theoretically informed and empirically engaged, this article argues that post-racialism faces its own set of paradoxes and practical dilemmas complicating the process of …
Deleuze and race
The philosophy of Gilles Deleuze has been a major source for developments and debate in a wide-range of sub-fields. Until recently, the significance of Deleuze for theorizing race and racism has re
