A Report on the Academic Job Market in Gender, Women's, Sexuality, Feminist, and Queer Studies, 2006-2018
This report shows that job opportunities in the field of gender, women’s, sexuality, feminist, and queer studies (GWSFQS) in the United States, while fluctuating, grew strongly in the decade after the 2007–9 recession. Growth in advertised GWSFQS jobs outpaced growth in advertised jobs in the traditional disciplines of English, history, and sociology over this period; it also outpaced growth in similar interdisciplinary fields. The data presented…

A Silvan Tomkins Handbook
The brilliant and complex theories of psychologist Silvan Tomkins (1911â1991) have inspired the turn to affect in the humanities, social sciences, and elsewhere. Nevertheless, these theories are not well understood. *A Silvan Tomkins Handbook* makes his theories portable across a range of interdisciplinary contexts and accessible to a wide variety of contemporary scholars and students of affect. *A Silvan Tomkins Handbook* provides readers wit…
I’m Not Sure
a well-known professor long allied with deconstruction and psychoanalytic theory, has been accused by a former graduate student of inappropriate, sexualized conduct.Ronell
Acts Against Nature
This paper makes an argument for greater consideration of negativity in queer engagements with biological or natural systems. Focusing on one particular paper by Karen Barad – "Nature's Queer Performativity (The Authorized Version)" – I argue that this work tends to under-read the negativity and confusion that queer entails, and so it renders nature, and the politics we might extract from it, more palatable than perhaps they should be. What inter…
Restrictive National Laws Affecting Human Rights Civil Society Organizations
Following the attacks in the United States on 11 September 2001, a new dilemma for foreign donors to human rights-related civil society organizations has arisen. In an attempt to choke off the financial networks that fund terrorism, global counterterrorism efforts, spearheaded by the United States, have led to a backlash against human rights that has increasingly taken the form of national laws designed to restrict the activities of civil society…

Introduction
Can queer theory proceed without an allegiance to antinormativity? The introduction to this special issue establishes the value of this question by staging an encounter with the most widely held assumption in queer theory today: that the political value of the field lies in its antinormative commitments. The first section of this introduction demonstrates how profoundly the history of queer theorizing has been shaped by an antinormative sensibili…

Feminist conversations with Vicki Kirby and Elizabeth A. Wilson
Underbelly
It is now widely recognized that feminist and queer theories have been negligent or overly dismissive of biological data. This paper asks what has motivated this antibiological orientation: what conceptual and political gains has antibiologism conferred on our theoretical innovations? The author turns to Gayle Rubin's two canonical essays ("The Traffic in Women" and "Thinking Sex") to explore one route by which biology became the underbelly of fe…
Would I Had Him with Me Always
The science of artificial intelligence (AI) is not as unemotional as it might first appear. Not only are researchers in the field now taking an interest in how to program affective capacities into artificial agents; there is also plenty of historical evidence that concerns about affect have been present in AI from the earliest years. Examination of archival materials from the 1940s and 1950s shows that affects (particularly as they circulate betw…

The Work of Antidepressants
Psychosomatic
In a letter to Sigmund Freud on September 17, 1924, Karl Abraham reports that he has just purchased from an antiquarian catalogue a paper written by Freud forty-six years earlier.The paper is Freud's third publication, and it is on the nervous system of the lamprey (Freud 1878).Politely negotiating his antiquarian status, Freud replies: ''It is making severe demands on the unity of the personality to try to make me identify myself with the author…

Darwin's nervous system
Critical psychologists have tended to shy away from evolutionary explanations of psychology and behaviour. The conventionalising claims of sociobiology and evolutionary psychology have been so widely deployed that there seems to have been no room for different uses of Darwin's work. Against these trends, this article argues that certain aspects of Darwin's evolutionary theories are enabling for a critical approach to psychology. The article explo…
Scientific Interest
This introduction highlights the place of “interest” in Isabelle Stengers's essay “Another Look: Relearning to Laugh” and considers its importance for feminist analyses of the sciences. Claiming that the positive affects have been underemployed in feminist philosophy of science, it is argued that Stengers's essay shows how criticism in the sciences can be re-animated through interest, excitement, and laughter

Neurological Preference
Simon LeVay's caveat that interpretation of his data should be delimited has been widely disregarded. In the wake of his 1991 report in Science there has been little in the way of new data on the neurotransmitters and receptors that may be involved in regulating sexuality, and to date there has been no published replication of LeVay's key findings. There has, however, been much in the way of further interpretation of his report by academic, scien…

Content Themes in Marital Conversations
Conversational themes can be viewed as a form of met communication about relationships. We suggest that the prominent themes in the conversations of spouses identify factors assumed to have an important effect on the relationship. Further, different ways of looking at marriage are reflected in the use of particular content themes. A typology of content themes was derived from transcripts of conversations and the typology was used to code the disc…

Loving the Computer
Cognitive psychology has been founded on a model of the mind as an information-processing machine. This paper is not concerned with the arguments for or against modelling the mind on computers, as these arguments are already well rehearsed in the literature. Instead I am interested in what the relation between computer, cognition and the thinking man promises or guarantees. Specifically, I am concerned with how cognition comes to be constituted t…
