Adopting Difference: Race, Sex, and the Archaeology of Power in the Farrow-Allen Case

  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

Taking all these intertwining histories and locutions of power into account reveals an archaeology of power, a sedimented history, an archaeology of power spanning not just Farrow’s life, but a cultural history of the link between celebrity, adoption, and the idealisation of the nation-state. Originally published May 3, 2014

On Desire

  •

  •  

Most of all, terms like “sapiosexual” and “demisexual” seek to make stable and coherent and legible and understandable a part of our lives that is simply not something we can easily contain: Desire.

If there is one thing I’m really happy about, it’s my writing.  I’m exploring new topics and even genres and very happy stretching my muscles with all the new work I’ve got planned.

On Caroline Calloway and Whole Foods

  •  

We have always been defined by our thingness, our places in different economies, different kinds of circulation of value. We’ve only just learned how to make our thingnesses visible to each other.

  •  

I shouldn’t have to endure quite that degree of preciousness over a morning cup, but this is coffee country: my thoughts are heresy, and they flay people for less.

American Gay: Pete Buttigieg and the Politics of Forgetting

  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

The problem with Pete Buttigieg is not that he is homonormative or assimilationist, but that he represents a new will to forgetfulness on the part of the United States, a will embedded in a desire to recreate not just this country but the world in the cast of a new, gayer imperialism.

  •  

I grew weary of all the anti-intellectualism around education, so prevalent even among some leftists who are calling for an end to academia.  Here’s a really short version of a “graduation speech” of sorts.
