Beauvoir in Time , by Meryl Altman
Feminist sexual futures
Camerawork as Motherwork
In Jeanne Dielman (1975), From the Other Side (2002) and No Home Movie (2015), Belgian/French filmmaker Chantal Akerman's camera does motherwork by creating spaces where spectators are invited to encounter, hold, and work through discomforting feelings, memories, and fantasies. Roland Barthes's photographic search for his mother in Camera Lucida and feminist thinking on motherwork and fabulation in the Black radical tradition inform my reading of…
Feminist Cringe Comedy
Feminist cringe comedies eschew the conventions of romance and sentimentality in favor of comedy that discomforts. Cringe comedies are one example of what I call feminism's visual realisms, so named for doing feminist political work by evoking laughter and the cringe. The cringe pulls us inward in our posture, while laughter opens us to others. This bodily response to cringe comedies interrupts the fantasies of the male gaze and makes space for s…

Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
Simone de Beauvoir’s 1949 masterpiece, The Second Sex, is rarely considered a canonical text worthy of being studied within the history of political thought. Even within feminist scholarship, although it is often cited or acknowledged, only short excerpts, usually the introduction, are read carefully. This essay argues that the reception of The Second Sex has been marred by overly emotional and ambivalent responses, in part a result of its litera…
Perverse Protests
This essay engages Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex to explore perverse forms of protest depicted in three films: Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman, David Fincher’s Gone Girl, and Lars von Trier’s two-volume Nymphomaniac. In each film, agency is linked to both sexuality and violence and is depicted as stemming from a range of affects—boredom, melancholy, anxiety, anger, desire, paranoia, revenge, and frustration. Emotions simmer until at some p…

Simone de Beauvoir and the politics of ambiguity
Feminist Thinkers and the Demands of Femininity
Examining the lives and work of historical and contemporary feminist intellectuals, Feminist Thinkers and the Demands of Femininity explores the feminist struggle to "have it all." This fascinating interdisciplinary study focuses on how feminist thinkers throughout history have long striven to balance politics, intellectual work, and the material conditions of femininity. Taking a close look at this quest for an integrated life in the autobiograp…
A Symposium on the Political Thought of H. Mark Roelofs
When those of us who were Mark Roelofs's students, colleagues, and friends read his work, we can often hear his voice in the text: his impatience that the political potential he saw in the Protesta
The Perversions of Bored Liberals
Counting himself as a boring liberal who would usually dismiss the likes of thinkers such as Emma Goldman as the radical fringe, Don Herzog purports to engage with Goldman's work in order to interrogate the political centrality of reasonableness among liberals and deliberative democrats. Casting Goldman as a lovesick radical, Herzog invites us to read her activism and politics as an affective stance resulting in an accurate critique of the Soviet…
