Occasional Belonging
This article tells the story of two major scenes of queer East and Southeast Asian nightlife in post-Trump New York City. The first of these is the gaysian scene, housed on the weekends at a Hell's Kitchen gay club. The second is the slaysian scene, exemplified by a recurring, Brooklyn-based party for queer-identified Asians cleverly titled, Bubble_T. Each is an outpost of queer Asian worldmaking, and by close reading the social expectations and …
Unsafe Words
Queer people may not have invented sex, but queers have long been pioneers in imagining new ways to have it. Yet their voices have been largely absent from the #MeToo conversation. What can queer people learn from the #MeToo conversation? And what can queer communities teach the rest of the world about ethical sex? This provocative book brings together academics, activists, artists, and sex workers to tackle challenging questions about sex, power…
My Firsts
My FirstsOn Gaysian Sexual Ethics James McMaster (bio) They say you never forget your first love. There's a reason for that. When you first find yourself taken with another you're taken by surprise. So, when you fall for them you free-fall and usually to the bottom of adolescence's hormonal wishing well. You don't go in guarded because you don't know that falling in love is a thing to guard against, at least not at first. And this is especially t…

But You Have to Do Something”
This article performs a psychoanalytic reading of Julia Cho’s Office Hour, a play inspired by the Virginia Tech massacre, in order to forward a method for mitigating Asian American isolation and attrition. Attending to the relationship between the play’s primary characters—a Korean American adjunct instructor and her student, a stand-in for the Virginia Tech shooter, Seung-Hui Cho—the author positions spaces of academic and theatrical encounter a…
The Between
Thinking with this special issue's group of feminist thinkers - some artists and others scholars - this introduction makes a strong case for co-authorship and a more collaborative humanities, while also insisting that the couple form - that stalwart object of queer and feminist theory - is neither a known quantity nor an exhausted entity, but rather, a field ripe for analysis. Situated squarely within performance studies, this introduction pivots…
Matters of care

Menstrual and premenstrual experiences of women in a developing country
The menstrual and premenstrual experiences of black Zimbabwean women were examined. Twenty-five professional women and twenty-five domestic workers were interviewed using semistructured, open-ended interviews designed to explore their experiences. An analysis of consensual data indicated a number of predominant themes, including secrecy associated with menstruation, the negativity surrounding menarche, the breakdown of the traditional family netw…

Students’ knowledge of the use of herbs and other agents as preparation for sexual intercourse
Interest is growing in the use of herbal and other agents as a preparation for sexual intercourse. Concern has been expressed that such traditional practices, which are widespread in central and southern Africa, may increase women's risks of cervical cancer and infection with the human immunodeficiency virus. We examined the knowledge and beliefs associated with these practices in a sample of educated young men and women in Zimbabwe. We found tha…
Nurses' Views of Parasuicide in a Developing Country
This study examines the knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, intentions and experiences of nurses at various stages of their careers with regard to patients who have made suicide attempts. It focuses particularly on the relationship of traditional Shona beliefs about suicide and considers how they interact with western medical beliefs. A detailed questionnaire covering these elements was administered to three groups of nurses. They were sampled at eith…
An investigation of preconditions necessary for the introduction of a campaign to promote breast self‐examination amongst Zimbabwean women
This study examines elements of the health belief model as predictors of intentions to self‐examine breasts in two samples of women. Undergraduate samples from London and Harare are compared on levels of knowledge of breast cancer and breast self‐examination (BSE), and on scales measuring perceived susceptibility to breast cancer, exposure to information and experience of breast cancer and perceived costs, barriers and benefits of BSE. Analysis o…

Alcock and Harris. Foreign Diplomacy in Bakumatsu Japan
The Japanese Gold Rush of 1859
One hundred years ago the patient efforts of Townsend Harris bore fruit and on July 4, 1859, Japan opened her doors to traders from the West. It was a small beginning, for Consul Harris' treaty allowed foreigners to live and trade at only three Japanese ports; two of which, Nagasaki and Hakodate, lacked the hinterland to make them much more than coaling or victualling stations. The third port was a small fishing village of twenty or thirty huts. …
