The Supreme Court ruling
On 16 April 2025, the UK Supreme Court issued a ruling on the meaning of ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010 (EA), after a group called For Women Scotland challenged the Scottish Government’s interpretation of the Act. The Scottish Government had interpreted safeguards that are provided in the EA for the protected characteristic of ‘sex’ to include people who have legally changed their sex and hold a ‘gender recognition certificate’. The Supreme Court…

Whose Cosmopolitanism?
The term cosmopolitan is increasingly used within different social, cultural and political settings, including academia, popular media and national politics. However those who invoke the cosmopolitan project rarely ask whose experience, understanding, or vision of cosmopolitanism is being described and for whose purposes? In response, this volume assembles contributors from different disciplines and theoretical backgrounds to examine cosmopolitan…
Chapter 15 The Uneasy Cosmopolitans of Code Unknown
Lesbian cinema without lesbians
A love story set in the late 18th century on a remote island off Brittany, Portrait de la jeune fille en feu/Portrait of a Lady on Fire (Ce line Sciamma, 2019) turns the act of one woman's intense and repeated gazing at another into a diegetic necessity. The rationale for this attentive observation is the painting of a commissioned portrait of a young woman, He lo se (Ade `le Haenel), to secure her match with a suitor in Milan; his plans to marry…
Butch Noir
This article puts the generic concept of "butch noir" in dialogue with queer theories of temporality. Reworking the 1980s performance category of dyke noir that was used to describe a particular style of lesbian experimental work, butch noir is defined by its "having-already-been-read-ness"-a temporal dynamic by which queer subjects are generated through their anticipation of other people's readings of them. This concept captures both the specifi…
Love’s Cosmopolitan Promise in Sally Potter’s Yes
Sally Potter’s film Yes (UK/US, 2004) stages the political possibilities of cosmopolitanism through the aesthetics of a heterosexual love story whose failures reveal the limit points of such a vision. Read psychoanalytically, cosmopolitan aspirations share with love an idealizing drive. In response to Potter’s coupling of cosmopolitanism and love, this article puts their idealizations in critical dialogue, mapping their respective productions of …
Crossing over with Tilda Swinton—the Mistress of “Flat Affect”
Tilda Swinton is hard to classify as a performer because flux and mutability have become her signature qualities. One enduring element in her repertoire, however, can be brought into focus through Lauren Berlant’s concept of “flat affect.” Typically described as mysterious, otherworldly, or ethereal, Swinton often brings to her screen and live performances a quality or atmosphere that contradicts the conventional expectations of feminine emotiona…
Reflections on Robyn Wiegman's Object Lessons
The Unfinished Conversations of Cultural Studies
This article discusses the ‘field imaginary’ of Cultural Studies through a reading of the three-screen video installation, John Akomfrah's 2012 film The Unfinished Conversation. In approaching the life and work of Stuart Hall through the incommensurate scales of personal and political histories which run simultaneously across and between the three screens, I argue that this installation enacts something we might call the intellectual aesthetic of…

Cancer Knowledge in the Plural
Animation and Automation - The Liveliness and Labours of Bodies and Machines
Written as the introduction to a special issue of Body & Society on the topic of animation and automation, this article considers the interrelation of those two terms through readings of relevant work in film studies and science and technology studies (STS), inflected through recent scholarship on the body. Drawing upon historical and contemporary examples, we trace how movement is taken as a sign of life, while living bodies are translated throu…
Ravishing Maggie
Walking into the White Cube gallery in London and approaching Maggie, Marcus Harvey's portrait of Margaret Thatcher, I feel a rising sense of pleasure. Simply by moving around the exhibition space, I discover that I have the power to change the form of Margaret Thatcher's presence. Viewed from the entrance, her characteristic steely gaze, her air of patrician authority and self-possession, radiate from what at first appears to be a large-scale, b…

Feminism and cultural studies
Both feminism and cultural studies have complicated and contradictory histories, inside and outside academy. It would be impossible, as well as perhaps undesirable, to map out a comprehensive outline of these developments here, as if there were simply one single, linear or unified account.

Dyketactics for Difficult Times
After a year of intensive organization and planning, the muchpublicized 'Homosexuality, Which Homosexuality? conference opened at the Free University of Amsterdam in December 1987. This conference was intended to be a continuation of earlier debates begun at the 'Among Women, Among Men' conference (Amsterdam, 1983) and the 'Sex and the State' conference (Toronto, 1985). Funded by various government bodies, and intended not only to promote but ind…
