Disability Rhetoric

by Jay Timothy Dolmage ...

In North America, immigration has never been about immigration. That was true in the early twentieth century when anti-immigrant rhetoric led to draconian crackdowns on the movement of bodies, and it is true today as new measures seek to construct migrants as dangerous and undesirable. This premise forms the crux of Jay Timothy Dolmage’s new book Disabled Upon Arrival: Eugenics, Immigration, and ... Read more

Tolerance in the Age of Identity and Empire

by Wendy Brown ...

But, as political theorist Wendy Brown argues in Regulating Aversion, tolerance ... Read more

Writing is not like chemical engineering. The figures of speech should not be learned the same way as the periodic table of elements. This is because figures of speech are not about hypothetical structures in things, but about real potentialities within language and within ourselves.
