The world is my home when I’m mobile’
Discipline and Pleasure
Disneyland is work disguised as play; school disguised as vacation. While Walt Disney’s curriculum deploys across all of its products, it literally engulfs the approximately 50 million ‘guests’ who visit the Disney Parks each year. Drawing on Sarah Ahmed’s phenomenological reading of orientation in Queer phenomenology, this article investigates the ways in which Disney’s didacticism is made material through practices and procedures designed to or…
Hybridity, Identity, and Monstrosity in Medieval Britain
The Politics of the Canon
Although the French poet Christine de Pizan never set foot on English soil, her works were continually translated into English throughout the fifteenth century, often by the same writers who promoted Chaucer as the preeminent English poet.

The Rhetoric of Marginality
The Female Wits
Painting Women
Gloriana's skull functions here and throughout the play as a grisly emblem uniting two dialectical notions of femininity: woman as ideal, as an object of adoration, and woman as death's head, as a figure which evokes fear and hostility. Both of these images are, in effect, reflections of Vendice's mind, masculine perceptions of woman that transform her into extreme projections of man's own fears of mortality. Gloriana's skull is, for Vendice, a k…
