Touching the Corpse
The Corpse Washer by Sinan Antoon is a novel of necrophiliac desire. It has a metonymical relation to the global though its governing motif of touch, and minor and individuated senses and gestures that do not fit obviously within a rubric of the scale suggested by "global novel," which conjures terms and qualifications like Anthropocene, global war, financialization and the circulation of world capital, social movements, population, the refugee c…
Speculation; or, Living in the Face of the Intolerable
I have understood part of miriam cooke’s work over the years to embody a commitment to understanding the forms of cultural production that emerge in the context of life beside a corpse or, following Sarah Kofman (2007, 241), living on in the face of the intolerable. In her early book War’s Other Voices, cooke (1987) writes about the “Beirut Decentrists” and returns repeatedly to literature that engages the corpse. In a piece in the collection The…
Stranger
The stranger then is the foundation of the intellectual history of the cosmopolitan. Though it is not the main focus of Appiah's book, Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers, it nonetheless haunts the text. The demand made on us through this haunting figure is to consider who this stranger is, what his parameters are, if he remains the Kantian European seeking the right to trade (that would eventually result in the domination of the glob…
On the Name, Ideation, and Sexual Difference
The term gender has, for many years, been invoked as if it solved all the problems inherent in the category of sex. But has gender-as term and as concept-created another set of problems and problematic analogies? Is it the red herring of current work in our field? And does it have implications for futurity in the sense of what is to come in the field of women's, gender, and sexuality studies? Does gender, in effect, confirm the mischaracterizatio…
The Lumpenproletariat, the Subaltern, the Mental Asylum
Khanna engages the notion of the lumpenproletariat in Frantz Fanon, tracing the concept through Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, its transformation through Fanon, and its commonality with and distinction from notions of the subaltern. She draws in particular on the material in The Wretched of the Earth, on mental asylums, and on Fanon's work as a psychiatrist to think of the radical form of subjectivity announced in mental life, an engagement with…
Touching, unbelonging, and the absence of affect
This article argues that psychoanalytic notions of affect - including ideas of anxiety and melancholia, as well as deconstructive concepts of auto-affection - offer a feminist ethico-politics and a notion of affect as interface. Beyond the confines of the experiential and the positivist, both psychoanalysis and deconstruction provide insights into affect as a technology that understands the subject as porous. I consider works by Derek Jarman and …
Racial France, or the Melancholic Alterity of Postcolonial Studies
The essay responds to attacks and defenses of postcolonial studies by Jean-François Bayart, Achille Mbembe, and Ann Laura Stoler, drawing attention to the limited understanding of difference and subjectivity in all essays
Unbelonging
This essay considers the clash of different notions of difference as they exist philosophically (through the work of poststructuralism) and sociologically (through diverse placement in the world). It highlights an idea of movement and oceanic archive as a way of resisting notions of belonging tied to dwelling articulated in the work of Martin Heidegger. It also strives to understand how the postcolonial emerges in ways quite distinct from any not…
Technologies of Belonging
Disposability
This article discusses disposability in light of what psychoanalysis can offer to an analysis of that term, understood as a contemporary characteristic of the human and its liminal condition. The essay questions why a program of social change is demanded of psychoanalysis but also shows that psychoanalysis offers an account of social change that is nondeterministic. It shows how psychoanalysis can be a useful analytic frame through which to under…
Reflections on Sara Ruddick's Maternal Thinking
Reflections on Sara Ruddick's Maternal Thinking Ranjana Khanna (bio) Sara Ruddick's Maternal Thinking: Toward a Politics of Peace remains a strange work in terms of genre some twenty years after its initial publication. In some ways it could be classified as part of an outlaw genre, not belonging to the genre of academic philosophical writing or to autobiography or to political theory. It isn't really a mixture of all these either so much as repr…

Indignity
This essay, 'Indignity', argues for a radical reassessment of the category of dignity as the basis for the human or humanity. Suggesting that this Kantian notion, employed liberally in human rights work, modern constitutions, and philosophical frameworks, often involves an obfuscation of the reality of human's existence in the world, It is propose that the term should be replaced by disposability, and that postcolonial feminism can usefully look …

Latent Ghosts and the Manifesto
Framing this article is an interest in post-colonial theory's impact on art history, and the ethical demands it has placed on that history. It explores the ways in which post-colonial studies have situated the development of disciplines in terms of their complicity with nationalist and colonialist agendas. Post-colonial theory's political intervention into art history also raises the question of the ethical limits of partisan reading and foregrou…

Dark Continents
In ''Geopsychoanalysis,'' Jacques Derrida comments on the blindness of psychoanalysis to most of the earth, and of what it inscribes on the earth through ''its ongoing worldification,'' that is, a textualization, and the violent event of imposing a way of being in the world. 1 His project is to criticize polemically the politics of the International Psychoanalytic Association, and the treatment of what is dismissed by it as ''the rest of the worl…
