Singularity in the wake of slavery: Adriana Cavarero's ontology of uniqueness and Alex Haley's Roots
This essay examines Italian philosopher Adriana Cavarero's ontology of uniqueness through a reading of Alex Haley's novel Roots, and the recent television adaptation of that book. If Cavarero has insisted throughout her work that we need to challenge the philosophical privileging of abstract universality and focus instead on the irreducibility of embodied singularity, and if such a move in her work has always relied on a feminist analysis of the …
Revolutionary Time: On Time and Difference in Kristeva and Irigaray
Natality or Birth? Arendt and Cavarero on the Human Condition of Being Born
This essay offers a critical analysis of Hannah Arendt's notion of natality through the lens of Adriana Cavarero's feminist philosophy of birth.

Next, I trace with Cavarero three critical concerns regarding Arendtian natality, namely that it is curiously abstract; problematically disembodied…
Timely Revolutions: On the Timelessness of the Unconscious
Julia Kristeva’s work on the concept of revolt is marked by a temporal analysis that takes revolt to be a movement of return into the past that makes possible change, rebirth, and an open future. Such temporal revolt is, according to Kristeva, intimate, in that it touches on unconscious psychic structures and operates on the level of thought and creativity. But Kristeva simultaneously inherits Freud’s notion that the unconscious is timeless. How,…

The subjugation of women in patriarchal society depends on a sexual division of temporal labor. As upholders of reproduction, embodiment, and the survival of the species, women have been confined to the cyclical time of nature. As inventors of a world that, in contrast, transcends our natural conditions, men have been bearers of linear time. How might we provide a temporal model that avoids this rigid dualism? This essay seeks to articulate a mod…
