Interdependence and Intersubjectivity: Spinoza on Recognition
No full textThe modern concept “recognition” has no systematic place in Spinoza’s early modern system, but he has interesting things to say about many of the dimensions and activities that fall under that term. To start somewhere, I use a recent conceptualization of different types of recognition theory to trace these elements in Spinoza\u27s works and construct the outlines of his quasi-theory of recognition. Playing out differently in the registers of the epistemic, the affective and the moral, Spinozian recognition seems less oriented towards an identity to be recognized than towards the very dynamic and becoming inherent in all social relationships
“Omme te scuwene vele ende diversche ghescillen, turbulatien ende onghenoughten”. Huwelijksconflicten en scheidingen in het vijftiende-eeuwse Gent
No full textDit artikel nuanceert het bestaande beeld van ‘echtelijk geweld’ in de late middeleeuwen. Een onderzoek naar feitelijke scheidingen in het vijftiende-eeuwse Gent leert dat ook, en vooral, economische of financiële onenigheden veelvoorkomend waren en de doorslag konden geven voor echtparen om over te gaan tot een scheiding. Dergelijke alledaagse conflicten stonden het vereiste partnerschap of de samenwerking tussen gehuwden in de weg, waardoor het voor hen onmogelijk was om vredig te blijven samenleven
Spinoza\u27s City: Donkeys, Deligny, and the Joy of the Streets
No full text“Spinoza’s City” asks a fundamental question about how Spinoza’s metaphysics might help us to learn the arts of living the streets of our cities with a greater joy. The donkey and the spiderweb —accompanied by Deleuze, Deligny, and a host of other ancestors— are the essential conceptual personae accompanying the Dutch philosopher in the articulation of responses to this question. Pivotal concepts include “common notions,” “composition,” “immanence,” the “unexpected,” “experiments,” and “transversal empiricism.” The very specific particularities of the street, dependent on differentials of texture and thought, become slowly aligned with the possibility of the consistent joy of street-life
‘Grade-Three Witch’: The Alchemy of Menstruation
No full textCan menstruation be magical? This paper explores how the menstrual cycle has been reimagined as a source of power through art from the 1980s onwards. Beginning with a brief history of menstrual magic in the Western tradition, we examine how historical phenomena including the witch trials, the advent of Wicca, and the late twentieth-century feminist reclamation of the witch archetype have inspired artists. Next, we turn to examples of artworks that combine menstruation with witchcraft themes, beginning with the creative inclusion of menstrual witches in a 1980 educational Norwegian pamphlet, the project Biomenstrual: A spell book for more-than-human menstrual care from 2021, and a project exploring the potential to grow meat from menstrual serum by artist WhiteFeather Hunter from 2024. Positioned within Critical Menstruation Studies, Art History, and Neopagan Studies, the ensuing analysis examines the complex, often contradictory connections between menstruation, witchcraft, and witches, especially when negotiating medical and scientific paradigms
Remedio para la aflicción en la pampa argentina: Vitalismo y deuda en "Una idea genial" (2010) de I Acevedo
No full textEn este artículo nos proponemos un análisis crítico, a partir del giro afectivo, los estudios de género y biopolíticos, de la novela autobiográfica Una idea genial del escritor argentino I Acevedo, publicada por primera vez en el año 2010 y escrita en prosa en el 2008 cuando también escribía en un blog. Las posiciones teóricas mencionadas nos permiten circundar la novela de I Acevedo desde una lectura que busca recuperar el sentido biopolítico de los afectos, pensando en las representaciones literarias como mundos que ponen en juego dinámicas de sentidos capaces de crear temporalidades antinormativas y formas de resistencia a la crueldad de los sistemas económicos neoliberales a partir de la escritura y la diferencia, trayendo a escena otras formas de reparto de lo sensible (Ranciere 2012) en las configuraciones sociales y políticas del presente.
Drawing on the affective turn and gender and biopolitical studies, this article proposes a critical analysis of the autobiographical novel Una idea genial (2010) by the Argentine trans writer I. Acevedo. The aforementioned theoretical positions allow us to explore I. Acevedo\u27s novel from a reading that seeks to recover the biopolitical sense of affects, thinking of literary representations as worlds that bring into play dynamics of meaning capable of creating anti-normative temporalities and forms of resistance to the cruelty of neoliberal economic systems through writing and difference, bringing to the forefront other forms of distribution of the sensible (Ranciere 2012) in the social and political configurations of the present
Translator’s Introduction to “Creating a Social Fabric in Exile” by Jacob Ellis Williams
No full textJacob Ellis Williams’s essay-testimonio explains the origins and focus of La Feria Pinolera (The Nicaraguan Fair) and La Red de Mujeres Pinoleras [Nicaraguan Women’s Network (REMUPI)] which they co-founded with a small group of fellow Nicaraguan exiles in San José, Costa Rica during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Their essay-testimonio chronicles their life and social activism before and after Nicaragua’s April 2018 rebellion and subsequent socio-political crisis. It also details the challenges they face as a trans non-binary Afro-feminist from the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua, an exile, and a human rights defender of the LGBTQI+ community. Parting from the REMUPI’s guiding principles and maxims –“Crear memoria viva,” “Hacer un tejido social,” “Hasta que la dignidad se haga costumbre,” “Lo último que nos puede quitar es la alegría,” “Mujeres resistiendo con resiliencia,” and “Un pedacito de Nicaragua en Costa Rica”– Ellis Williams articulates the interconnected work of the Nicaraguan Fair and REMUPI in addressing women’s economic emancipation, mental and psychosocial health, human rights, trauma, the use of inclusive language, and the role of food, art, and other cultural expressions in fostering community, joy, and resilience. To make visible the work and ideas of Ellis Williams, the Nicaraguan Fair, and REMUPI to a wider international reading public their essay-testimonio is available in Spanish and in English-language translation in volume 4, issue 1 of Mistral (2025)
A Song for Deep Snow: Braiding Narratives for Creation Repair
No full textExtractive ideologies have led to a condition of climate change that threatens all life as we know it. Many congregations in the Western world mostly feel the faint warning of climate change. By contrast, Native peoples recognise climate change as fulfilment of an Elder’s warning that the weather is “growing old” — our climate grows strangely warm. This paper argues that indigenous practices of mutuality and reciprocity between human and non-human beings is a kind of strategically aligned storytelling. Native storytellers, like Peter John-Xadalt’eyh, “braid” together vulnerable communities, including non-human, for a sustainable ecology, forming empathy and knowledge between different tribes, human and nonhuman. In the context of this journal, this article explores how his testimony informs thinking in homiletics on topics of place, interdependency, the beautiful and the grotesque, and the problem of hope. As a piece of a larger project, I close the paper with some thoughts about how we, as teachers, might equip our students to “see the sound” of the sermon
