Threatening Pregnant Bodies
This article revisits the filmic work of German visual artist Annegret Soltau as a means for analysing the depiction of pregnant bodies within a culture that sees pregnancy both as threatening and as under threat. By presenting her own pregnant body as an embodiment of various contradictions enmeshed in complex gendered linages, Soltau contributes to our understanding of how pregnant bodies perform and narrate interconnected multiplicities. Solta…

Glaucon’s Fate
Plutarch’s Politics
Leo Strauss inspired a renaissance in the study of classical political philosophy, and one of its side effects has been an increased number of close textual analyses of ancient works traditionally
The Originalist and Democratic Legacy of Antonin Scalia
Carl Eric Scott introduces the symposium. He argues that Scalia's legacy will be a highly significant one and will center on his articulation of the interpretive theory of originalism and his related defense of constitutionally channeled democratic say
A Forcible Return to the Womb
This article explores the interplay between the genre conventions of pornography and melodrama in Elfriede Jelinek's novel Lust . Moving beyond readings that focus on this text as a work of anti‐pornography, this article uses close readings of the novel's melodramatic narratorial techniques to argue that Jelinek's social critique involves more than an unmasking of sexual violence. Ultimately, Jelinek contends with the way literary modes restrict …
The Once and Future Liberal
The subject of identity politics and its relation to contemporary liberalism is one that merits thorough analysis and poses pressing political strategy choices. Intellectual historian Mark Lilla (C
How Lawler's Understanding of Tocqueville Helped Me Understand Myself
When one plays the part of the together professor, the important thing is to act as if one knows just about all that is really worth knowing, and as if one was always a few steps ahead of everyone
Subverting Injurious Language
This essay examines the narratological and rhetorical features of Ilse Aichinger’s story of a botched abortion, “Spiegelgeschichte,” in order to highlight the challenges associated with putting female, bodily trauma into language. By focusing its analysis on the text’s second-person narration and imperative statements it makes an argument about the degree to which the protagonist is liberated from the oppressive conditions that lead to her death.…
Reflections on Faith and Film inHail, Caesar
While Hail, Caesar! written, directed, and produced by Ethan and Joel Coen initially appears to be merely a light satire of classic Hollywood of the 40s and 50s, it also comments upon several kinds of faith, religious and otherwise. Most obviously, the film humorously critiques the Bible-blockbuster films of the era, as being fairly insincere, manipulative, and too conveniently reconciling of secular, Christian, and Jewish perspectives. But caref…
An Anxious Age
For a number of years now, it has been evident that Christianity is experiencing a downswing in America. This is a shift from a more mixed situation that held as recently as the early aughties, and
Communist Moral Corruption and the Redemptive Power of Art inThe Lives of Others
Widespread moral corruption, particularly of the sort fostered by their internal security agencies, was a key feature of communist regimes. The Lives of Others provides a dramatic portrayal of this phenomenon as it occurred in East Germany. The film can appear, given its central story of the moral redemption of a Stasi officer through his becoming intrigued by the lives of artists, to be an overly idealistic or audience-pleasing testament to the …
The Charms of Indeterminateness
Indeterminateness is a concept introduced by political philosopher Chantal Delsol in her trilogy on "late modernity." It delineates the penchant of contemporary humans to defy limitations, avoid long-term commitments, and celebrate variability for its own sake. These traits strongly echo the accounts of democratic character as inherently inconstant found in both Tocqueville and Plato. This essay highlights Delsol's concept against the backdrop of…
