Drawing on the work of Dodie Bellamy, Roxane Gay and Heidi Julavits, I make a specifically feminist argument about time, precarity and value in academia, arguing that the job of writing creatively in the academy is complicated by the invisibilization of education and administration as well as the preponderance of women and minorities in non-permanent and therefore precarious academic roles. The authors discussed in this article all play with supposedly marginal literary forms like the diary, personal essay or blog to trouble the institutional overvaluing of canonical work and destabilize what Sarah Sharma calls a ‘patriarchal temporality’ that designates their work and lives as marginal. With a particular focus on Bellamy, who documents her repeated denial of tenure in personal and often sexually explicit writing, I want to interrogate the peculiar circularity of narrating experiences of overwork, insecurity and discrimination in the body of a text that might be read by current or future employers, as women translate their personal and leisure time into new forms of workplace productivity and commit further areas of their life to the university without the promise of liberation from or reform of its oppressive structures.","PeriodicalId":35235,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of American Culture","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41611275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The episode is notable not only for introducing Romulans to the franchise but also for painting them in an unexpectedly sympathetic light as the extratextual power struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union is criticized by means of cognitive estrangement. The hegemonic tenor of the submarine film subgenre the episode emulates becomes quickly subverted as both sides of the conflict are given a voice, and the eventual victory of Captain Kirk is painted almost as a moral defeat. Blish’s adaptation is a testimony to the misinterpretation of TOS. Blish did not translate an SF story into another medium but rewrote it into a war narrative while not changing any major events, taking the episode at face value and apparently not noticing the allegory on which it was founded. This case serves as an example of how easily a subversive narrative can be co-opted the moment genre is misidentified.","PeriodicalId":35235,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of American Culture","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45499166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To cope with the sudden loss of most of their work force, bioengineering companies have modified human genes to create genetically altered workers, the so-called gems. For more than a hundred years, gems have been the property of the company that created them, but as the gems have become more and more advanced in their cognitive skills, calls for their emancipation arose, until gem enslavement is eventually abolished. This article reads Gemsigns as a warning against how bioengineering can be employed to reaffirm racialized hierarchies with racialization working as a technology for oppression. The enslavement of gems does not merely replace older forms of economic exploitation of oppressed groups but is firmly rooted in real-world power structures, thereby addressing the exceptional vulnerability of marginalized people to be commodified by technological progress instead of profiting from it. I further suggest that Gemsigns uses its post-abolition setting to illustrate that the struggles for equality of formerly enslaved people do not simply end with the official abolishment of enslavement.","PeriodicalId":35235,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of American Culture","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45857905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
