It may also unleash an array of policy attacks or private strikes against already vulnerable publics, outside of the context of abortion. Alito’s majority opinion and Thomas’s concurrence have placed a target on the backs of vulnerable communities by removing the glue that connected a range of protections and then explicitly calling for more carnage. Their decisions also reveal a troubling disregard for fact, science and reason.","PeriodicalId":46114,"journal":{"name":"New Political Science","volume":"44 1","pages":"500 - 505"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49585879","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}

Jackson is an exercise in biopolitics that facilitates institutionalized white supremacy by subjugating pregnant people’s bodies to government regulation to control reproduction. The population most likely to be controlled via this exercise of biopower is people of color because prohibitions on abortion exacerbate existing structural inequities and racism and guarantee that the poor and pregnant people of color will be forced to resort to more dangerous and desperate measures to end their pregnancies or find that they have no options at all while predominantly white and well-off pregnant people will continue to find ways to access safe abortions. As such, the justices in the Dobbs majority, to include their references to safe haven laws, are engaged in a racist exercise of biopower that puts the emotional, mental, physical and financial wellbeing of pregnant people of color and their families at risk.","PeriodicalId":46114,"journal":{"name":"New Political Science","volume":"44 1","pages":"475 - 482"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46311581","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}

Placing director Ryan Coogler within the ranks of radical filmmaking ironically undercuts the challenge of sustaining a successful Black commercial vision that can still contain interesting ideas about Black life. This essay explores the differences between framing Black Panther as an example of independent Third Cinema vs. commercial Hollywood cinema and argues that the conditions of production make radicalism unlikely, but that does not mean that the loved media object is not politically interesting, or that the tension between adhering to ideology and resisting means it is less important than a radical and disruptive cultural production.","PeriodicalId":46114,"journal":{"name":"New Political Science","volume":"44 1","pages":"450 - 456"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43656230","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}

Using Hannah Arendt’s conception of natality—which finds in birth the origins of political action—to interpret Leszczyńska’s and Perl’s accounts, I find natality present at birth in a plurality of ways that demand recognition and respect. Where political institutions do not respect natality, the interpersonal act of bearing witness to natality can offer a profound political critique. Leszczyńska’s and Perl’s accounts show the intense pressure of external forces on the responsibility to affirm the natality of others, but I argue that bearing witness to natality is meaningful, regardless of whether or not it upends an oppressive political regime. Hope in dark times is best embodied in acts that bear witness to the natality of others, acts that are themselves a form of political natality, and not in the abstract and passive hope for a better world.","PeriodicalId":46114,"journal":{"name":"New Political Science","volume":"44 1","pages":"409 - 423"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48063221","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 “pacifist warrior” is a contradiction in terms but encapsulates the problems faced by cosmopolitans in judging between moral absolutes: to oppose war and to oppose genocide. The emphasis on “good intentions” allows cosmopolitans to distance themselves from the non-cosmopolitan military means and the consequences of pursuing the end that they have willed.

But the counter-majoritarian aspects of American constitutionalism and politics (including gerrymandering, malapportionment, and other factors that generally lead to the massive over-representation of rural white voters) will generally produce abortion policy outcomes with far less popular support than Roe itself and will also insulate even unpopular abortion restrictions and bans from effective Democratic response. And, of course, the anti-Roe majority on the Court itself reflects national political institutions that do not reflect national majorities.

Understanding of the expected outcomes of OIT allow for risk-benefit assessments for patient-centered decisions. The efficacy of OIT to achieve desensitization in children has been confirmed in multiple meta-analyses, even with vastly disparate study populations and methodologies. Most children initiated on OIT will achieve the ability to eat more allergen before experiencing an allergic reaction than if they continue to avoid their allergen. This effect is diminished without regular ingestion. Previous meta-analyses showed increased allergic reactions on OIT versus avoidance or placebo due to the dosing itself; however, a recent meta-analysis showed that peanut OIT in children did not lead to an increase in allergic reactions. Analysis of emerging data suggests that OIT may reduce reactions to accidental exposures over time.
