Almost forty years later, despite the current popularity of Kimberlé Crenshaw’s intersectional feminism, feminists of color continue to bear the weight of bridgework in academia, politics, and the arts. In this essay, Pabón-Colón centers queer Korean American performance artist Diana Oh’s “solo” performance at the Ancram Opera House to examine what staging bridgework does in a performance space occupied by communities situated differently in relation to power, privilege, and oppression. Throughout Oh’s two-hour performance, their wireless headset microphone fell off of their face over a dozen times. Every time the weight of the headset exceeded the tape’s capacity to hold on a sweaty cheek, her “Love Doctors” would retape the headset, and Oh would carry on, inviting us to “hold” her “while we’re together” because now “is all we got.” The determination, patience, and acceptance Oh embodied in managing their unruly headset are read by Pabón-Colón as a testament to the enduring necessity of collective bridgework in building coalitions, even if, and especially when, they do not hold. Pabón-Colón argues that Oh’s performance staged a queer feminist of color future in the now by performing bridgework methodologically determined by care work, agency, and critique grounded in mindful presence.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"29 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/FRO.2020.0037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66397947","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}

Handmaid Protests cite a world where nonreproducing women are portrayed as tragic, villainous, or illegible while centering the experience of the sympathetic reproducing Handmaids. This essay argues that the Handmaid Protests traffic in biological essentialism steeped in white, cisgender feminism, where “woman” is conflated with “white woman who reproduces.” In this article, I create the neologisms “nonreproducing women” and “reproductive debility” to carve out space in feminist discourse that acknowledges women who are not becoming-mothers, which, as of yet, does not exist. From a performance studies and crip theory perspective, I challenge these performances of noninclusive feminism that pit (reproducing) women against (nonreproducing) women to imagine a world that allows for the complexity of experiences of all women whose bodies are constantly policed and politicized.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"106 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/FRO.2020.0039","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45376094","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}

Drawing on philosopher Ernst Bloch’s “concrete utopia,” Muñoz suggests a utopia that is based not in optimism but rather in “educated hope”: “The utopian function is enacted by a certain surplus in the work that promises futurity, something that is not quite there.” Muñoz rejects the negative ontology that surrounds queerness and instead invokes queerness as a community, as hope, as utopia. Mayhew similarly maps utopia as a process and a product— as an artwork and a methodology to discuss trans bodies, experience, and ontology. This article explores ontologies of trans performance through the body— and body of work— of trans artist Jaimes Mayhew. Through a material culture and performance studies approach, this article uses Mayhew’s work to illustrate a material trans performance ontology. Trans ontology is not simply a queering or multiplicity; instead, it invokes with its prefix so much more: transformation, transmutation, transposition, translation, and so on. It considers how (t)his body moves in, out, and through (read: trans) a queering of the body toward a utopic material trans ontology.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"130 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/FRO.2020.0031","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45743013","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}

Forging coalition between the two without reliance on colonially defined personal and political subjectivities or the twin projects of whiteness and capitalism is prickly. If we are \"to be free,\" then liberation may mean naming and claiming our own Selves, including our relationships to place and others, to signal a redefined/reassigned sociocultural fit with and in relation to one another. I posit Arrivantcy—a survivant-descendant status molded from Kamau Brathwaite's animation of the arrivant into a contemporary process of self-reflective recognition and self-identification—as vital to a decolonized solidarity that addresses the unrecognized anti-Blackness and anti-Indigenous relationality articulated for us through coloniality. This theoretical sketch presents Arrivantcy as a quotidian method of forging new relationships. Alongside reenvisioning Arrivant identity and arrivantcy work, the key components of naming and claiming are explored as viable means for recognizing our colonial pasts and their continued presence while resisting coloniality in our language, which deters \"unbecoming\" the colonial Black-Other, as well as complicity in Indigenous colonization and genocide. This interdisciplinary articulation interrogates how embracing Arrivantcy might address the complexity of US and diasporic non-Indigenous Blackness, the nuances of African American and Indigenous coalition-building, and how it operates in praxis.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"192 - 215"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48321180","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}

Arrests, detention, and prosecution are positioned as solutions to the violence and exploitation of trafficking, as opposed to structural changes that could ameliorate economic and social vulnerabilities. Operation Cross Country X, an FBI-led multistate sting operation, is indicative of current antitrafficking projects ostensibly designed to assist minors exploited through sex trafficking. In actuality, Operation Cross Country X functions as a regulatory mechanism, targeting adult sex workers for criminal punishments. In this article, we use the visual and textual artifacts published and disseminated by the FBI to understand Operation Cross Country X's role in perpetuating larger human trafficking discourses. By connecting performance theory to critical trafficking studies, we argue that press releases, photographs, and videos produced by Operation Cross Country X serve to legitimize the role of the state in antiviolence projects, regulate norms surrounding commercial sex, and obfuscate the inherent violence of the carceral system.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"57 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48309463","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}

Throughout I employ a (trans)national feminist analysis of the fight for women's reproductive rights in both Ecuador and Peru in the early twenty-first century and analyze two instances in which the Virgen del Panecillo—a famous monument of the Virgen de Quito that was constructed in Quito, Ecuador, in 1976—has been utilized to highlight state and church control over women's bodies and reproductive rights. The first is a public action staged atop the monument in 2008 during which two feminist organizations used the strategic location of the Virgen del Panecillo as part of a larger campaign to legalize abortion in Ecuador. I pair my analysis with a photograph by Peruvian artist Cecilia Podestá titled Virgen del Legrado, released on September 28, 2009. My examination of the photograph highlights the (trans)national circulation of the Virgin—in many ways, reminiscent of how the Virgen de Guadalupe in Mexico and the United States has circulated and been reimagined by Chicana feminist organizers, artists, and scholars to extend women's rights. I demonstrate how the artistic uses of the Virgen del Panecillo underscore histories shaped by colonialism and uncover the intimate relationship between empire and the constructions of race, class, sex, gender, and sexuality.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"1 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44076400","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}
