As an academic, self-identified labour geographer, I give recognition to a number of lessons that I learned from Nadeau, herself a feminist sociologist, anti-racist activist, and labour organizer. The paper borrows from a largely feminist inspired literature on academic relationships and how such relationships influence intellectual development and pursuits. The paper explores a number of questions including: How do these relationships work? Do they increase professional success? What is the intellectual impact on each other’s work, even if you do not write together? And also important, what are the effects of gender and other relations of power in such a relationship? The paper concludes that reflection upon engagements with intimate partners is something that geographers and other scholars should be more open to. Further such reflections must go beyond mere acknowledgement of the intellectual contributions of those who are too often rendered invisible in research processes to how such intimacies shape research and scholarship.","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"20 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135567180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are two main parts to the argument. One is that production of global cities has become essential to organizing global racial capital. The other is that within Canada, higher education, consisting of systems of universities and community colleges, is essential to producing global cities for monopoly finance capital (that is, global racial capital in its current form). In developing the analysis, the author pays particular attention to Toronto for several reasons: The author lives in Toronto; is faculty member of the University of Toronto where they have taught and studied postsecondary systems; has been active in Toronto grassroots struggles challenging militarized policing, particularly through participating in the No Pride in Policing Coalition working group; and, finally, Toronto is a designated “Global City” and is a key Canadian site of urban “innovation” for imperialist capital. That is, Toronto belongs to a network of “global cities,” each of which contains infrastructure necessary to coordinate the flow of global racial capital. Global cities are therefore “assets” that must be securitized, as evidenced by the intensification of militarized policing and surveillance. The article explains how Canadian higher education, through its systems of universities and colleges, has been shaped to produce “imperialized cities” for global racial capitalism. The author then outlines the abolition work that has been a source of inspiration for “Another University Now!”","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"6 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135567540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Davis","doi":"10.3138/topia-2023-0018","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/topia-2023-0018","url":null,"abstract":"By primarily locating the study of Black people through the lens of victimhood and pathology, university research and teaching often reinforce the notion of Blackness as social, cultural, and economic deficit. Centring Black ideas, art, and imagination as critical to a reformulation of the racist logic of Western thought offers a model for engaging the histories of Black peoples in Canada that exceeds a simple anti-racism lens. Invoking the early 19th-century debate about Black education between Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois and drawing on lessons learned through the creation of a Black Canadian Studies Certificate at York University in Toronto, Canada, this article suggests that positioning Black studies within the humanities offers a different set of theoretical paradigms for thinking about human relationships and human possibilities. Understanding Black studies as a project toward, and not against, Black life reveals the critical role Black studies plays both in transforming the core character of universities and the societies in which we live.","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135567825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The monopolization of critique as a labour of appraisal serves to enforce that the hours fashion students spend crafting wearable garments are not remunerable labour hours but intangible investments in their own professional and personal development, installing a quite literal distinction between the material work created by the student and the immaterial work of the tutor to assign, guide, and grade it. This pedagogy helps naturalize the asymmetrical distribution of time and obligation through which the arts university precaritizes faculty in short-term work contracts while imprisoning students in long-term loans. By licensing its monopoly on critique to instructors within the studio-classroom so they may evaluate and thereby devaluate the work of students, the university insulates itself from solidarity between its different constituencies.","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135618548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The topical triad of EDI, explored through the Canadian Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences’ “Igniting Change: Final Report and Recommendations,” holds important stories about how disability, race, and broadly speaking, normalcy, matter to academic institutions. How is disability storied within the neoliberal university? How are we called to belong within, and be members of, the university through the promise of progress? A poetic engagement creates space for wonder, simultaneously effacing stories that claim to know disability, race, and other forms of being-in-the-world codified as non-normal. As an expression of feeling as freedom, embodied poetry is a creative response to white-settler hegemonic interests that foreclose possibilities for meanings of disability and race; embodied poetry potentiates dreams of living otherwise within, against, and beyond the ivory.","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"23 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135567350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Situating the author’s approach as an experiment in autotheory, the author explains how his sense of selfhood and time lost to addiction shift when thought alongside Benjamin’s idea that history reopens in times of revolution. The author’s unconventional reading of Benjamin raises the question of whether time lost to alcoholic blackouts may be redeemed in the moment of quitting. The article contributes to the literature on addiction narratives by integrating personal storytelling and theoretical analysis of identity, ethics, crisis, and time. More broadly, the article makes a methodological contribution to experimental writing in critical cultural studies that strives to embody the dialectic of self and social.","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135729778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interrogating the dual (negro-)phobic and philic responses revealed by SPT’s culture of anti-Black hostility, this article contends with how the academy mediates, restricts, and captures Black studies’ scale and the politics of its demands in service of liberal amalgamation and the capacitation of an anti-Black ensemble of questions. Thus, this article ultimately argues that, like “the Negro,” Black studies, in the collective unconscious of civil society and refracted through the prism of the academy, remains a stimulus for anxiety and the locus of the unthought—even and perhaps most especially as its institutional presence is avowed.","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135778383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both the university and the prison have a symbiotic relationship with one another: like the prison, the university is a power broker—it is invested in the same intersecting regimes of power—hetero-patriarchal capitalism, white supremacy, and settler colonialism—benefitting from the success, and emulating the design of these structures. It is thus the author’s contention that studying abolition requires experimentation with theoretical modes and conceptual practices that might reorient study itself and provide alternative coordinates for the development of abolitionist futures.","PeriodicalId":43438,"journal":{"name":"Topia-Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135778967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
