"One day I got bored, so I put everything on a bagel. Everything" Enter the many dimensions of humor, family drama and Michelle Yeoh's badass kung fu skills as Cameron dives in to review EEAAO with distinguished AI researcher Dr. Kerry McInerney. If you haven't seen Everything Everywhere All At Once, here's a quick overview:Released in 2022, Everything Everywhere All At Once is a sci-fi multiverse comedy, family drama, action film written and directed by The Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Shienerdt). The film centers around Eveleyn Wang (Michele Yeoh) a 50-something chinese immigrant who runs a failing laundromat with her husband Waymond (played by Key Huy Kwan), who is struggling to connect with her daughter Joy (who is gay). As their IRS audit begins to lean towards disaster, Evelyn is suddenly called to adventure by a Waymond from another dimension, as the only woman who can fight the evil “Jobu TObacki” and save the entire multiverse. What proceeds is equal parts absurdist bathroom humor and a heartwarming story of family, acceptance and love. About our Guest: Kerry McInerney is a research associate at Cambridge's Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, where she researches AI from the perspective of gender studies, critical race theory, and Asian diaspora studies.  Her scholarship has appeared in journals such as Feminist Review, Public Understanding of Science, and Philosophy and Technology. Her work on AI-powered hiring tools has also been covered by media outlets like the BBC, Forbes, the Register, and the Daily Mail.

Florence Ashley & Sam Sanchinel, “The Saint of Christopher Street: Marsha P. Johnson and the Social Life of a Heroine” (2023) 134 Feminist Review 39–55 Abstract: This article analyses the legacy of Marsha P. Johnson as a heroine through the notion of labour, emphasising how heroine narratives are both a product of labour as well as a form of labour. After offering a short account of Marsha P. Johnson's role in the Stonewall riots and STAR, we explore the development of trans communities' ability to create, sustain and disseminate heroine narratives, emphasising Tourmaline's pivotal archival role in establishing Johnson's legacy. Then, we elucidate the role of heroine narratives in creating and sustaining a collective identity. We argue that community attachment to Marsha P. Johnson reclaims the place of trans communities in LGBTQ+ history but is often done in a manner that obscures the whiteness of mainstream trans advocacy. We suggest that the recent increase in interest towards the life-sustaining labour of STAR House reflects the evolution of trans collective identity in the post-visibility era. (⁠Link to article⁠)

In this essay, Kiara Mohamed Amin and Priya Sharma explore the liberatory potential of psychedelic trips, arguing that such practices possess the potential to humanise parts of the self that have been dehumanised by capitalist systems of living.  Kiara Mohamed Amin is a trans, Somali multidisciplinary artist based in Toxteth, Liverpool. His work focuses on what it means to live at the intersections of marginalisation and still choose joy, healing and community as an act of radical living and dreaming. He uses different mediums to explore intergenerational trauma and looks to see where we are in eternity through astrology, somatic movements and divination. Priya Sharma is a Lecturer in Arts Management, Policy and Practice at the University of Manchester. Her research explores articulations of feminist and queer British South Asian identity on social media platforms. Her research interests include radical politics, diaspora experiences and the social impact of new media technologies. The authors' first co-authored publication 'Trip where you stand: Towards psychedelic liberation' will be published in July 2023 by Feminist Review.  This episode of ‘Anarchist Essays' was supported by a grant from The Lipman-Miliband Trust. Our music comes from Them'uns (featuring Yous'uns). Anarchist Essays is brought to you by Loughborough University's Anarchism Research Group. Follow us on Twitter @arglboro Artwork by Sam G.

Amidst accelerating environmental change and intense urbanisation, there is growing enthusiasm for building sustainable and ‘natural' cities. Yet, when a flourishing eco-futuristic urban imaginary is enacted, it is often driven by a specific version of sustainability that is tied to high-tech futurism and persistent economic growth. In a Southeast Asian context, no city or country better encapsulates this than Singapore. But the pursuit of a singular narrative of progress has very specific consequences, particularly when that progress benefits some but not all beings. In this episode, Dr Natali Pearson is joined by Dr Jamie Wang to shed more light on the implications of Singapore's growth fetish, and its implications for humans and non-humans. About Jamie Wang: Dr Jamie Wang is a Sydney Southeast Asia Centre Writing Fellow, a research affiliate in the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney, and an editor of the journal Feminist Review. She has a PhD in Environmental Humanities and Cultural Studies from the University of Sydney. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on the intersections of environmental humanities, urban geography, more-than-human studies and sustainable development in the context of planetary urbanism, climate change and environmental injustice. Jamie's recent project ‘Reimagining the More-than-Human cities, stories of Singapore' has explored the multifaceted pressing urban environmental issues, from urban greenery to housing development projects, transportation, water infrastructure, and urban agriculture, with a geographic focus in Singapore. It asks how we might develop ways of re-thinking, re-seeing and re-storying cities through foregrounding their more-than-human worlds. Jamie is also a writer and poet.

Lauren Craig (She/her/hers) is a social-media shy, internet-curious cultural futurist based in London. Her practice draws on her experiences as an artist, curator, researcher, birth/death doula and celebrant. She has founded and directed five creative organisations with a background in ethical, social and environmental entrepreneurship and reproductive justice. Her practice moves with slow depth between performance, installation, art writing, moving image and photography. Through archival socialisation, she elevates lived experience as a tool for reframing past and present underexposed narratives. Through collaborative live engagement Craig invites us to presence conditions for ethical cultural memory.Craig's current project Rendering Experience takes a revisionist approach to Maud Sulter's book Passion: Discourses on Blackwomen's Creativity (1990), investigating the art historical legacy, impact and potential curatorial futures inspired by this formative yet overlooked text. Passion has featured in previously co-curated exhibitions The Rita Keegan Archive (Project) (RKAP) at South London Gallery, (2020) Show and Tell, The Women's art Library (2015). Forthcoming works, publications and events include collaborations with Feminist Review, Photofusion, Eastside Projects, The Womens' Art Library and Arts Catalyst. She is a member of RKAP, a social history and curatorial collective whose activities include the publication Mirror Reflecting Darkly, MIT Press and Goldsmiths May 2021 and exhibition Between There and Here at South London Gallery in September 2021 and.She has an MA in Enterprise and Management for Creative Arts from the University of the Arts London. Craig will continue her practice-based research as part of Syllabus VI 2020/21 and the Royal College of Art 2021/22.Edits:1) Lauren mentions the British Art Network initially (around the 13:17min mark and again at 19:07min), but then referred to them ongoing as British Artwork, rather than the complete title British Art Network. 2)  At 13:07 and 13:36 when Lauren mentions "Women's Work Project", she meant to say "Group Work in the Women's Art Library"

  Black Feminism draws attention to the ways in which racialised, gendered and classed structures and discourses interact to position women differently in relation to white supremacist and patriarchal systems of oppression. In Britain, Black British Feminism offered not just a challenge to the white feminist theoretical claim to universal womanhood but offered a political space through which racialized women were able to develop their own political frames and build their own campaigns and struggles. In this session we consider the lessons that can be learnt from Black British Feminist theories and struggles. The session also raises some epistemological questions about what histories we have access to or not, the gap between the ‘facts of what happened' and ‘that which is said to have happened' (Trouillot 1995) and ways to remedy some of these gaps, by drawing on insights from a project funded by the Feminist Review Trust. While the session does not provide a detailed account of Black British Feminist thought and action, the resources listed below offer fascinating insights for Black Feminist enthusiasts.

The New Authoritarians and COVID-19: a discussion with David Renton and Sita Balani about the rise of the far right in a time of crisis. ———————————————————————————————————— The years since the 2008 crash have seen a rise of authoritarian, right-wing politics across the globe. The many representatives of this ascendent current include Trump in the US, the UK's radicalized Conservative Party, Modi in India, Bolsonaro in Brazil, and Orban in Hungary. Drawing on strands of multiple traditions, from traditional conservatism to fascism, this remains a novel and still-evolving formation, differing across national and regional contexts. Now, its representatives are faced with a pandemic, the impacts of which on our social, economic, and political systems – as well as on human life itself – are already vast. Drawing on David Renton's The New Authoritarians: Convergence on the Right (Haymarket Books and Pluto, 2019), this discussion will interrogate the responses and prospects of the global right in the era of COVID-19. David Renton is a barrister, writer, and political activist. From 2003 to 2006, he was a member of the national steering committee of Unite Against Fascism. His many books include Fascism: Theory and Practice (1999), Fascism, Anti-Fascism, and Britain in the 1940s (2000), British Fascism, the Labour Movement, and the State (2004), and When We Touched the Sky: the ANL, 1977-1981 (2006). Sita Balani is a lecturer in contemporary literature and culture at King's College London. In her research and teaching, she explores the relationship between imperialism and identity in contemporary Britain. Her work has appeared in Feminist Review, Identity Theory, Open Democracy, Photoworks and the Verso blog. ———————————————————————————————————— Get a copy of The New Authoritarians here: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1261-the-new-authoritarians For further reading on the struggle against the far right check out Haymarket's Books for Fighting Fascism: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/blogs/81-haymarket-books-for-fighting-fascism Pluto Press: https://www.plutobooks.com/ Watch the live event recording: https://youtu.be/tEa_hbjJDC0 Buy books from Haymarket: www.haymarketbooks.org Follow us on Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/haymarketbooks

This week on The Spectator Film Podcast… Legally Blonde (2001) 11.16.18 Featuring: Austin, Maxx Commentary begins at: 33:03 — Notes — “Let’s Stop Calling Movies Feminist” by Anna Biller —- Here’s Anna Biller’s – director of The Love Witch (2016) – perceptive blog post about our tendency to crown movies as “feminist”; we’re not only frequently wrong, but also convolute and trivialize the discussion of actual feminist cinema in doing so, diminishing it’s potency. We relied upon Biller’s robust criteria for feminist cinema to frame our discussion of Legally Blonde, and while we’ll include a few relevant passages here, it’s no substitute for engaging with Biller’s cogent arguments directly – they speak for themselves. It’s also worth mentioning Anna’s Blog: Musings About Film and Culture has many other fascinating posts in which Anna discusses both her own work and film history at large. (Anna also seems to participate in the comments section frequently, which is pretty cool. Just sayin’…) Here are some passages that do a good job communicating the tone and approach of Anna’s post: “To be feminist, a movie has to have the express purpose of educating its audience about social inequality between men and women (and, I would argue, not take pleasure in the voyeuristic degradation or destruction of women).” “I sometimes see these absurd threads online with titles such as ‘Is Dario Argento a feminist or a misogynist?’ When I see discussions like this, I can only think that people are very confused about what feminism is. Misogyny is hatred of women; feminism is not love of women, it's a political movement. Surely Argento, when creating a movie like SUSPIRIA (1977), was not conscious of being part of a political movement to bolster women's freedom. He was, according to interviews, working out nightmare visions in his head. He was trying to create visceral cinema, and his cinema is powerful and has had a lasting impact on audiences; but not because it's feminist. “What does the audience think about when watching SUSPIRIA? Is it that they wish women had equal pay, equal representation in culture, were taken more seriously, had an easier time negotiating with men, suffered less sexual objectification and harassment? Are the female characters in it living in a meaningfully realistic world of gendered politics? Are men in it implicated for their violence, or for their unthinking privilege that they benefit from at the expense of women? And most importantly, do audiences viewing it suddenly understand how the world looks from the interior of a specifically female consciousness?” “If critics are really that interested in discussing feminism in cinema, they should pay more attention to actual feminist movies. Otherwise, they are saying that they don't care about feminism—they only care about giving male directors the label of feminist to legitimize the most violent and potentially controversial work.  They are also saying that movies are fine the way they are, and that we don't really need more women's stories or perspectives. If all of the male fantasy movies out there are feminist, then feminism is doing great! Why hire female directors and writers? Since producers generally only care about the bottom dollar, ‘feminist’ to studios and producers has become a code word for ‘not misogynistic enough to tank at the box office.'” “By using the word feminism so often and indiscriminately, we are erasing feminist discourse. The over-use of the word feminism has rendered it entirely meaningless as a serious political topic, making it easier and easier for everyone to think of it as just a trendy subject or a buzzword rather than the very fabric of women's lives. This is an effective way to kill a political movement, and it's working.” “Legally Blonde – Feminist Review and Analysis” by theroguefeminist — Here’s the link to a very thorough and engaging review of Legally Blonde by theroguefeminist on Tumblr (http://theroguefeminist.tumblr.com/). It’s unfortunate I found it after the recording, as it does a remarkable job articulating our discomfort at the film’s treatment of side characters in marginalized communities. This review confidently addresses Legally Blonde‘s strengths and weakness, and if you enjoyed reading it, theroguefeminist has lots of other posts discussing film/media waiting for you.
