    by Inderpal Grewal, Caren Kaplan, Robyn Wiegman ...
    Series series Next Wave: New Directions in Women's Studies
    In Transnational America, Inderpal Grewal examines how the circulation of people, goods, social movements, and rights discourses during the 1990s created transnational subjects shaped by a global American culture. Rather than simply frame the United States as an imperialist nation-state that imposes unilateral political power in the world, Grewal analyzes how the concept of “America” functions as ...

    In this pathbreaking work, Jasbir K. Puar argues that configurations of sexuality, race, gender, nation, class, and ethnicity are realigning in relation to contemporary forces of securitization, counterterrorism, and nationalism.

    by Anjali Arondekar, Inderpal Grewal, Caren Kaplan, Robyn Wiegman ...
    Series series Next Wave: New Directions in Women's Studies
    Anjali Arondekar considers the relationship between sexuality and the colonial archive by posing the following questions: Why does sexuality (still) seek its truth in the historical archive? What are the spatial and temporal logics that compel such a return? And conversely, what kind of “archive” does such a recuperative hermeneutics produce? Rather than render sexuality’s relationship to the ... Read more

  • Object Lessons

    by Robyn Wiegman ...
    Series series Next wave
    No concept has been more central to the emergence and evolution of identity studies than social justice. In historical and theoretical accounts, it crystallizes the progressive politics that have shaped the academic study of race, gender, and sexuality. Yet few scholars have deliberated directly on the political agency that notions of justice confer on critical practice. In Object Lessons, Robyn ... Read more

  • American Anatomies

    Theorizing Race and Gender

    by Robyn Wiegman ...
    Series series New Americanists
    In this brilliantly combative study, Robyn Wiegman challenges contemporary clichés about race and gender, a formulation that is itself a cliché in need of questioning. As part of what she calls her "feminist disloyalty," she turns a critical, even skeptical, eye on current debates about multiculturalism and "difference" while simultaneously exposing the many ways in which white racial supremacy ...

    Investigating the cultural, social, and political histories of punishment during ninety years surrounding the 1838 abolition of slavery in Jamaica, Diana Paton challenges standard historiographies of slavery and discipline. The abolition of slavery in Jamaica, as elsewhere, entailed the termination of slaveholders’ legal right to use violence—which they defined as “punishment”—against those they ... Read more

  • Women's Studies on the Edge

    by Wendy Brown, Robyn Wiegman, Gayle Salamon ...
    At many universities, women’s studies programs have achieved department status, establishing tenure-track appointments, graduate programs, and consistent course enrollments. Yet, as Joan Wallach Scott notes in her introduction to this collection, in the wake of its institutional successes, women’s studies has begun to lose its critical purchase. Feminism, the driving political force behind women’s ... Read more

  • The Age of the World Target

    Self-Referentiality in War, Theory, and Comparative Work

    by Inderpal Grewal, Caren Kaplan, Robyn Wiegman, Rey Chow, PhD ...
    Series series Next Wave Provocations
    Martin Heidegger once wrote that the world had, in the age of modern science, become a world picture. For Rey Chow, the world has, in the age of atomic bombs, become a world target, to be attacked once it is identified, or so global geopolitics, dominated by the United States since the end of the Second World War, seems repeatedly to confirm. How to articulate the problematics of knowledge ... Read more

  • Figurations

    Child, Bodies, Worlds

    by Claudia Castañeda, Inderpal Grewal, Caren Kaplan, Robyn Wiegman ...
    Series series Next Wave: New Directions in Women's Studies
    Always in the process of becoming, inherently incomplete, the child is a remarkably malleable figure. In Figurations, Claudia Castañeda shows how this malleability is itself generated—how the child is "made" by different constituencies and how the resulting historically, geographically, and culturally specific figures are put to widely divergent uses, often to very powerful effect. Situated at the ... Read more
