It asks: how does phallogocentrism operate in the discourse of the university which we have inherited from Kant? And how can an understanding of the sexual forces woven into this discourse help us unravel and complicate the paradoxes that currently define the concept and the practice of academic freedom? By interrogating academic freedom from within an analysis of the university's sexual economy, this article aims to contribute to feminist critique with a view to renewing university discourses and practices. It shows that the contract between the nation state and scholars upon which the university is founded is not only financial or sociopolitical but also sexual. It argues that academic freedom must be conceived not as a university subject's right to speak or act freely but as a continuous ethical relationship to others – where a critique of the university's alleged sexual indifference remains paramount.","PeriodicalId":46443,"journal":{"name":"Australian Feminist Studies","volume":"35 1","pages":"54 - 69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08164649.2019.1698285","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49162973","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}

Through a close reading of [Christina Sharpe’s. 2016. The Wake: On Blackness and Being. Durham: Duke University Press]; Adrienne Rich’s. 1973. “Diving into the Wreck.” In Diving into the Wreck: Poems 1971–1972. New York: WW Norton; and Alexis Pauline Gumbs’. 2018. M Archive: After the End of the World. Durham: Duke University Press], it explores the increasingly vulnerable ocean both as a site of environmental damage, and as a speculative meeting place between black feminist poetics and white feminism. A series of interconnected arguments unfold: (1) learning from Sharpe, the weather is understood as not only climatological but also in terms of the ‘total climate’ that is antiblackness; (2) the ocean is not immune from weather; the weather underwater comprises anthropogenic harm to oceans (including increasing levels of oxygen depletion), but also the legacy of antiblackness; (3) from an environmental humanities perspective, the ‘wreck’ of Rich’s poem is not only a ‘wrecked’ gender order, but also the ecological damage of the undersea; white feminism, however, struggles to notice that this ‘wreck’ is also antiblackness. This article concludes by staging an encounter between Rich and Gumbs at the bottom of the sea. Here, as part of a project of building refuge, Gumbs invites white feminism to welcome its own partial dissolution.","PeriodicalId":46443,"journal":{"name":"Australian Feminist Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"490 - 508"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08164649.2019.1697178","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48130599","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}

Particularly, how do we do so when our care is directed towards a member of another species? Radically in decline in the UK, hedgehogs are increasingly attended to by thousands of largely urban-based volunteer conservationists nationwide. While these ‘hedgehog champions’ are typically captivated by the charms of hedgehogs, they also emphasise the importance of hedgehogs remaining ‘wild’, a quality they define as the need for hedgehogs to come and go freely from urban gardens. In this article, I focus on the use of this quiet, backyard ‘wildness’ to redirect potentially possessive modes of interspecies want. Through practicing disciplines of non-capture, hedgehog champions often come to delight in and care for the wider environments that support hedgehog lives. Through attending to hedgehogs in these expansive wild ways, however, it becomes clear that learning to love hedgehogs responsively in isolation is insufficient to make the changes hedgehogs need. Urban hedgehog conservation requires renewed attention to the power of the erotic as it plays out – and is fenced off – between humans.","PeriodicalId":46443,"journal":{"name":"Australian Feminist Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"509 - 523"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08164649.2019.1682457","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44722676","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}

It does so by considering the relationship between the care labour practices involved in making both kin and babies. The article has two central operations. It is an explicitly eco-social feminist argument against the use of making kin as an uncomplicated theoretical standpoint in the environmental humanities. At the same time, it deconstructs the iconic feminist ambit to be liberated from housework. These parallel operations emerge by characterising making kin as a kind of housework, which is a deeply ironic evaluation of Haraway’s slogan. Overall the article is a response to the question: how is the work involved in making kin both the same as and different to the labour of making babies? The answer is constructed through the method of literary close reading, paying attention to genre and plot of ‘The Camille Stories’ alongside Fiona McGregor’s novel Indelible Ink [2010. Melbourne: Scribe Publications] and Quinn Eades’s all the beginnings: a queer autobiography of the body [2015. Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing]. These comparative readings enable a reckoning with the gnarly and contradictory implications of ‘making kin’ across contemporary environmental humanities and feminisms.","PeriodicalId":46443,"journal":{"name":"Australian Feminist Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"468 - 489"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08164649.2019.1702874","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44491828","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 contributions in the special issue evoke tensions between a capitalist imperative to consume, activist calls for resistance, and queer feminist figurations of sex and longing. Asking in turn what we as editors want from the project of feminist environmental humanities, we respond: (1) we want to spark new relations between desire and demand from within environmental crisis; (2) we want a fulsomely feminist environmental humanities; (3) we want to inhabit the difficult and necessary articulation of ‘feminism’ and ‘environment’; (4) we want multiple, situated, perversely scaled and historically awkward genealogies for environmental humanities; and (5) we want ‘to take up the burden of remaking our world’. We contextualise these demands via a series of examples: the drought and bushfires currently gripping the places we are writing from; Betty Grumble’s performance LOVE AND ANGER; an origin story of feminist environmental humanities as told from our particular perspectives; and a 1943 short story, ‘Dry Spell’, by Australian writer Marjorie Barnard. We argue for the feminist potency of holding desire in tension with demand.","PeriodicalId":46443,"journal":{"name":"Australian Feminist Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"385 - 397"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08164649.2019.1702875","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43541386","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}

Kuka Irititja (animals from another time) and Tjituru-tjituru (Tragedy, Grief and Sadness), produced in creative collaboration with non-Indigenous artist Fiona Hall, focus on death, extinction, annihilation. Whose lives, whose deaths mattered in the past; whose lives, whose deaths matter today. These works reference the British testing of nuclear bombs at Maralinga in the desert homelands of the artists in the 1950s and explore living-on in the aftermath of relentless settler colonial devastation, as Rene Wanuny Kulitja says of her work for Tjituru-tjituru: ‘these are for the ones who were born but never lived’. Developing a close analysis of the works, situated in a broader framework of remote avantgarde or Aboriginal art under occupation, this article explores how these works address a past that is not past for Anangu/Yarnangu women today and the vital importance of the work of Tjanpi Desert Weavers art production in the present.","PeriodicalId":46443,"journal":{"name":"Australian Feminist Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"413 - 436"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08164649.2019.1697179","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45859244","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}

Such politics and ethics of place are cultivated in the feminist environmental humanities to encompass desires for ecological justice, putting human ethical relationships with the non-human world squarely into feminism’s scope. This article arises from the observation that place-work taking Indigenous and white settler relationships to place seriously could be enriched by more substantively involving many other settler experiences. Here, I enflesh this gap: I explore personal narratives of middle-class South Asian migrant settlerhood, using the paradoxical place-with-placelessness this experience entails to further vitalise understandings of place and feminism in the environmental humanities. In doing so, I propose that ‘feminism’ and ‘place’, as categories of understanding, need not be static, stable or singular to orient our identities, passions, or politics – that even when connections to these categories are unstable and tenuous, that very displacement and its excess can be grounding.","PeriodicalId":46443,"journal":{"name":"Australian Feminist Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":"454 - 467"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08164649.2019.1702872","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41756143","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}
