Nach den Ereignissen des 5. und 6. November 2024 (für Leser weit in der Zukunft: die Wiederwahl Donald Trumps und die Implosion der Ampel) habe ich erst mal das getan, was jeder vernünftige Linksgrünversiffte macht: Polit-Abos kündigen, Podcasts abbestellen, unpolitische Bücher lesen. Nur nicht diesen Quark konsumieren.In den US-amerikanischen Medien wurde endlos Nabelschau und Fingerzeig betrieben, wer Schuld habe am deutlichen Wahlsieg eines verurteilten Straftäters mit faschistischen Tendenzen. Langweilig. Der Drops ist gelutscht. Amerika ist weit weg, sollen sie sich doch zu dem machen, als was viele die USA schon immer sehen: ein Russland mit besserer Musik.Ein Podcast der im Abo blieb war der des, Sänges/Bassplayer/Bandleaders der "The Long Winters", John Roderick, beileibe kein unpolitischer Mensch, der keinen Hehl daraus macht, dass er linksliberal im amerikanischen Wortsinn ist. Wohnhaft in Washington State ist er der klassische Westcoast-Intellektuelle - mit einem Twist: Er selbstreflektiert. Unerhört. Dabei eckt er an, aber nicht um anzuecken, sondern, weil das nicht anders geht, wenn man selbstreflektiert.Seine neueste Show ist eine minimalistische Stunde, in der er ohne Schnitt, Vor- und Abspann Fragen beantwortet. Sie ist nur für Patreon-Abonnenten abrufbar, was den Hörerkreis einschränkt und Prinzip ist. Es hält die empörten Trolle auf Distanz und John gibt somit ungefiltert seine Meinungen zu wirklich allem kund. Roderick ist Mitte fünfzig, weiß, ist rumgekommen (Drogen, Musik, lange Reisen) hat ein enormes Geschichtswissen (Balkan, Naher Osten, USA) und in seinem Leben schon irgendwie alles gemacht: er war Junkie, Koch in den 24/7 Grunge-Volksküchen im Seattle der 90er Jahre, hat dort für den Stadtrat kandidiert, hat in Alaska gewohnt, sein Vater wurde mal fast Stabschef von JFK - ein wahrer Renaissance Man. Er beantwortet druckreif, unaufgeregt, ruhig und perfekt verständlich, was er gefragt wird. Und wenn er nicht sicher ist, lässt er uns an seinem Gedankengang teilhaben - wohin auch immer er führt.Roderick nimmt seine Show einmal die Woche zum Ende des Tages auf, in perfekter Tonqualität, ein Musiker halt, irgendwo zwischen Kamingespräch und ASMR und so kam es, dass er am Wahlabend am Mikro saß, zu einem Zeitpunkt als die Wiederwahl Trumps von den TV-Stationen noch nicht "gecallt" wurde aber dennoch unvermeidlich war.Statt sich in ein aufgeregtes "Wie kann denn das sein?!1!!" zu flüchten erzählte Roderick eine Stunde lang, in einer enormen analytischen Ruhe und Schärfe davon, was das Problem der Linken im Land sei. Dabei kann im Zeitalter von einer Million Monkeys an den iPhone-Keyboards nicht mehr viel Neues herauskommen, denkt man, aber wegen ebendieser fällt es sicher nicht nur mir schwer, die Schlenker und Bremsspuren zu sehen, an denen man erkennt, an welcher Stelle der progressive Bus von der Fahrbahn abkam und gegen den Brückenpfeiler fuhr.Obwohl John Roderick die Show, normalerweise hinter der Paywall, mittlerweile freigeschaltet hat (so enorm positiv war das Echo) hat sicher nicht jeder den Willen oder die Muße, seine Analyse zu hören, weshalb ich sie hier zusammenfasse und ein bisschen extrapoliere und auf die deutsche Situation transponiere. Denn sie ist interessant. Und sie ist nicht einfach. Und wir haben im Februar zur Bundestagswahl zwar keinen Trump abzuwehren, aber eine mögliche Verfestigung faschistischer Parteien. Das zu verhindern, ist mit Sicherheit zu spät, dafür ist die Zeit zu kurz, aber man kann schon jetzt eine Idee haben, was schief laufen wird.Donald Trump hat die 2024er Wahl nicht wirklich knapp gewonnen und John Roderick fragt sich und uns: "Können 70 Millionen Amerikaner Rassisten sein?" Meine leicht radikalisierte Antwort wäre "Klar, warum nicht?". John hält es für "insane" das zu glauben. Und natürlich, wenn man kurz die Blase verlässt und das Hirn einschaltet, muss man ihm Recht geben. John kann für Kentucky und Alabama sprechen, ich für Dippoldiswalde und Anklam, und in allen vier Gegenden gibt es Leute, die Einwanderer nicht brauchen und dennoch keine Rassisten sind. Sie sind vielleicht keine besonders guten Menschen, aber Rassismus ist etwas anderes. Das bekommt man raus, wenn man die Hillbillies fragt und nur eine verschwindende Minderheit wird etwas von ethnischer Abstammung, Hautfarbe oder Volksgesundheit faseln. Die meisten werden ein paar Argumente aus ihrer Facebook-Blase bringen und wenn man die dann mal überhört, denn sie führen nicht zum Ziel, kommt im Allgemeinen Indifferenz heraus, irgendein diffuses Gefühl der Benachteiligung vielleicht, aber kein Wunsch nach KZ und Gaskammer. Das verkompliziert die Analyse der Ursache für die Wahlniederlage, denn im persönlichen Gespräch sind es meist supersweete Leute, die die rassistischen Arschlöcher wählen. Man bekommt den Kopf nicht drumrumgewickelt.Das Problem im Wahlkampf 2024 war, dass das Anti-Trump-Argument "Aber hörst Du nicht, was der da sagt?!" nicht zog. Denn Nein, das hören "die" nicht. Auf Deutschland umgesetzt: Der Klempner aus Dipps und die Frisöse aus Anklam geben keinen S**t. Es ist schon anstrengend genug am Sonntagvormittag alle vier Jahre in die beschissene Mittelschule zu schlürfen um irgendwas zu wählen, statt beim Heimspiel des VFC Anklam fünf Biere zu kippen, wirklich nervend ist es jedoch, sich wochenlang vorher irgendwas anzuhören, was im besten Fall die Ansage ist, dass man seinen eigenen Beruf nicht mehr Frisöse nennen darf und im Zweifel darauf hinausläuft, dass man permanent als "schlechter Mensch" durchbeleidigt wird, weil man kein Shawarma mag, nicht dass der Klempner-Ralle das schon mal gegessen hätte. Das Resultat ist, dass man das Kreuz bei denen macht, die exakt das Gegenteil davon behaupten, und sei es noch so sinnfrei, krude oder dumm. Die Chance, dass der Ralf und die Gabi dann unter einer AfD-Regierung, der John und die Karen unter Trump, zu besseren Menschen werden, ist gering. Das sollte man also verhindern. Und hätte man verhindern können. Die Zeichen standen an der Wand, bzw. den Flatscreens. Sie wurden ignoriert und John Roderick kommt zur zweiten These.Diese ist überraschend: Die Demokraten sind die Partei der Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit geworden. Hear him out. Wenn man auf den Wettstreit zwischen Konservatismus und Progressivismus (also kurz: Rechts und Links) seit dem Ende des 2. Weltkriegs schaut, war zunächst die Rechte die Kraft, die nicht gefragt hat "Was ist?" sondern gepredigt hat "Das soll sein!". Wissenschaftliche Realitäten spielten nur eine Rolle um überwunden zu werden. Schwule gibt's - aber sollten nicht. Atheisten gibt's - aber gehören weg. Frauen an den Herd, sagt Jesus. Die Republikaner als die Partei des "Sollte", die Demokraten als die Partei des "Seins".Von den Sechzigern an, hat die Linke dann versucht, den Ist-Zustand der Gesellschaft institutionell abzubilden und in Gesetze zu gießen: vom Civil Rights Act von LBJ 1964 bis zur Legalisierung der Homoehe 2015 war dieses Projekt erfolgreich. Denn unterhalb dieser großen Gesetzgebungen gab es tausende Regelungen, die die Sicht der amerikanischen Gesellschaft auf die anlassgebenden Ungerechtigkeiten verändert hat.Was beim obligatorischen M/W/D in Stellenausschreibungen begann, ist mittlerweile ein Klischee: die Personalchefin in vielen Firmen in den USA ist schwarz und weiblich. Bei der schreiende Ungerechtigkeit von Stonewall 1969 in New York City, die in der Homo-Ehe ihr vorläufiges Ende hätte finden sollen, schoss man deutlich übers Ziel hinaus, als ein christlicher Bäcker sich weigerte eine Hochzeitstorte für eine Schwulenhochzeit zu backen und das nicht in einem Schulterzucken endete, sondern einem Urteil des obersten Gerichtshofs (er darf).Dass das Leben in general ein Anderes und für fast alle ein Besseres ist, wenn man Los Angeles 2024 mit Nashville 1954 vergleicht, sollte einleuchten. Natürlich ist weder Rassismus noch Homophobie abgeschafft, noch lebt man in den USA in einem egalitären Hölle Paradies ohne Streit und Dollerei, aber beide hier beispielhaft genannten Probleme sind so enorm viel kleiner als vor siebzig Jahren, dass das keiner bestreiten kann. Und dennoch passiert genau das. Es ist nie genug, es gibt keinen Stolz aufs Erreichte. Deshalb ist es weit unterhalb der "cancel culture"-Schwelle geradezu unmöglich, eine Meinung zu irgendeinem linken Thema zu äußern, ohne dass das in unproduktivem Streit endet. Betonung auf "unproduktiv", denn es geht im Allgemeinen in solchen Palavern, selbst zwischen Diskutanten absolut auf derselben Seite, nie um das "Wie verbessern?" sondern immer um das "Was verbessern?". Man hat es nach acht Jahren Obama geschafft, dass man eine Krankenversicherung für alle hat, dass man die Homoehe hat, dass man nicht weit davon entfernt war, das Recht auf Abtreibung in den Verfassungsrang zu heben. Statt ein bisschen zufrieden mit den eigenen Erfolgen zu sein und sich zur Abwechslung mal um das zu kümmern, was auf der anderen Seite der politischen Trennlinie so an Problemen ansteht, bemühte man die sogenannten "weichen" Wissenschaften, herauszubekommen, was man denn noch so an Ungerechtigkeiten beseitigen könnte.Despektierlich bezeichnet man als "weich" im weitesten Sinne Geisteswissenschaften, also alles unterhalb der Biologie, da wo es ein bisschen schwammig wird, nicht so eindeutig wie ein Klavier, das dir auf den Kopf fällt, wenn der Nachbar es aus dem Fenster schmeißt. In den "harten" Wissenschaften ist 2+2=4, ein Meter ein Meter, ein Kilo ein Kilo, da ist schwer gegen anzuargumentieren. In den weichen Wissenschaften geht es um den Menschen und der ist unberechenbar. Aber, wenn man halbwegs solide rangeht, kann man mithilfe von Soziologie, Psychologie und ein bisschen Statistik ein Bild vom Ist-Zustand der Gesellschaft erhalten. All das passiert auch seit vielen Jahrzehnten, es gibt endlos Lehrstühle für Soziologie, Anthropologie, Kommunikationswissenschaften mit Spezialisierungen für Queer Studies, Intersektionalitätsforschung und Feministischer Theorie, alle mit ihren eigenen Studiengängen, Papers und Seminaren.Problem: die Zahlen die in diesen Fakultäten auflaufen, sagten spätestens seit der Finanzkrise von 2008, dass, wenn man alle Amerikaner fragt, diese überwiegend einen S**t geben, was in diesen Fakultäten erforscht wird und dass es eine Mehrheit der Wähler einfach nicht interessiert, ob der Jerome und der Dave ein Recht haben, die Hochzeitstorte von der Karen gebacken zu bekommen. Es kommt eher raus, dass sie es ein bisschen ungerecht finden, dass sie ihr Haus verlieren an eine Bank, die noch vor ein paar Jahren fast bankrott war. Und selbst wenn sie das nicht so konkret formulieren können, wundern sie sich einfach, warum alles so ein klein bisschen beschissener geworden ist, als vor ein paar Jahren. Was die meisten Umgefragten nicht mehr hören konnten war #metoo, #gamergate und #cancelculture und was soll das überhaupt sein? Aber da gab's zum Glück diesen Trump, der sich darüber lustig machte, seltsamer Typ, aber irgendwie funny. "Und what?! Den kann man jetzt wählen?" sagte Bob zu Babe 2016. "Ok, who gives a s**t. Das machen wir jetzt mal. Schluss mit dem permanenten Erklärbärshit, was man sagen darf und was nicht." Das wurde statistisch vor jeder Wahl im letzten Jahrzehnt so erhoben und spiegelte sich 2010, 2016 und jetzt 2024 in den Ergebnissen wider.Und es wurde jedes Mal vor der Wahl ignoriert. Denn das kann doch keiner glauben, dass sich die Mehrheit nicht um Trans-Rechte, nicht um Pronomen, nicht um Umweltschutz kümmert.Nun, wenn man Tatsachen ignoriert und glaubt es besser zu "fühlen", ist man nur ein paar Schritte von einer Religion entfernt. Und dass Wunschdenken keine Tatsachen in der Wahlnacht schafft, hat sich ein ums andere Mal erwiesen. Ein ums andere Mal wurde gewunschträumt, dass die Frauen aus den Vororten es dem Trump zeigen werden. Die waren schließlich selbst mal schwanger, haben vielleicht abgetrieben, kennen wenigstens eine, die das hat. Das stimmt zwar rein statistisch, aber diese Frauen aus den Vororten haben auch ihr Haus mit Verlust verkaufen müssen, schon zweimal seit 2008, und deren Männer haben ihren Job in der Kühlschrankfabrik verloren und es half nicht viel, dass der neue Fridge aus China nur $199 kostete, denn der ist schon wieder kaputt. Abortion my ass, da wählt man doch den, der irgendwas von Zoll auf chinesische Kühlschränke erzählt, auch wenn irgendjemand Anderes sagt, dass das den nächsten importierten Kühlschrank teurer machen würde? Who knows, irgendwas erzählt immer einer.Die Demokraten haben genau das in Statistiken präsentiert bekommen, haben es aber nicht geglaubt und dachten, dass ein schicker Werbespot mit Julia Roberts die Sache regelt, das TikTok-Äquivalent zum Absingen eines Gospels um den Teufel zu vertreiben. John Roderick erzählt von einer Fahrt im Taxi kürzlich. Der Fahrer, ein Einwanderer aus Nigeria sagte sinngemäß: "Na klar wähle ich Trump. Wir sind Katholiken, ich habe zwei Söhne und zwei Töchter und die sind männlich und weiblich und wer was anderes sagt, der ist des Teufels. Und den Teufel wähle ich nicht."Und so schauten die Linken ungläubig auf die, wenn auch kleine, Prozentzahl von Schwarzen, die sagten, dass sie Trump wählen werden, auf die durchaus beachtliche Zahl von Muslimen, die das gleiche sagten (Warum wohl?), und die verglichen mit früher regelrecht riesige Menge von Latinx die genau dasselbe ankündigten - und niemand hat es ihnen geglaubt!Das ist nicht nur wissenschaftsfeindlich - es ist rassistisch! Da kämpft die Linke seit Jahrzehnten dafür, dass Nicht-Weiße sich gesellschaftlich repräsentiert finden, dass sie nicht permanent gegen Rassismus ankämpfen und anwählen müssen, sondern sich, wie der weiße Dude next door, bei einer Wahl mal um ihr Leben und ihre persönlichen Interessen kümmern können und dann machen die das, kündigen es in Umfragen sogar an, und die Demokraten so: "Hey, Minderheit, Du wählst falsch!" WTF?Und so stolperte die US-amerikanische Linke den Rechten in die Falle und so werden es die linken Kräfte auch im Februar in Deutschland tun. Ok, sie wachen langsam auf, Robert Habecks Küchentischnummer, die Betonung während des Parteitags der Grünen, dass man die Partei der Freiheit und gegen Bevormundung sei, scheint direkt auf Analysen des Wahldesasters der Demokraten zurück zu gehen - das wäre ja auch furchtbar, wenn man nicht mal dafür Fachkräfte hätte. Aber es wird zu spät sein. Auch, weil sich die Internetkommentare gegen das, was John Roderick (und in Fortsetzung ich hier) schreibe, wie von selbst verfassen. Natürlich werden überall Transmenschen diskriminiert, syrische Flüchtlinge gejagt, Schwule verprügelt und wenn man Twitter gewinnen will, schreibt man das empört unter so ein Essay und postet am 23. Februar 2025 um 18:03 Uhr auf Mastodon dass Deutschland Naziland sei.Oder man überlegt, ob es, vereinfacht gesagt, möglich ist, mit einer Sammlung von 5% Themen eine Wahl zu gewinnen, in der 100% abstimmen? Ob man sich vielleicht doch mal der Themen annimmt, die Gabi und Ralf beschäftigen, wo die Lösung nicht moralisch einfach, sondern kompliziert und nebenbei noch existentiell ist. Kapitalismushit, you know? Keiner will, dass die Linke Diskriminierungen leugnet. Aber, mal rein arithmetisch, diese "passiert" (sorry!) per Definition immer Minderheiten - bei Wahlen gehts aber um Mehrheiten. Das ist nicht kompliziert.Kompliziert ist natürlich aus dieser Erkenntnis eine Strategie zu formulieren. Ein "weiter so" kann es nicht sein. Eine Brandmauer macht nur Sinn, wenn eine Mehrheit auf der richtigen Seite steht. Eine jede Idee zu einem veränderten Umgang mit dem Wahlvolk abzuschmettern, nur um ein Argument im Plenum zu gewinnen, führt geradewegs in den Faschismus.John Roderick hat das analysiert, als es zu spät war und so wie die Welt jahrelang den Weg in den Faschismus anhand der zwanziger und dreißiger Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts in Deutschland analysiert hat, können wir das hundert Jahre später von unserer Seite des Atlantiks aus machen - diesmal in realtime. Wir sollten die Chance nutzen, bevor es auch hier wieder zu spät ist. This is a public episode.

In Poor Queer Studies: Confronting Elitism in the University (Duke UP, 2020), Matt Brim shifts queer studies away from its familiar sites of elite education toward poor and working-class people, places, and pedagogies. Brim shows how queer studies also takes place beyond the halls of flagship institutions: in night school; after a three-hour commute; in overflowing classrooms at no-name colleges; with no research budget; without access to decent food; with kids in tow; in a state of homelessness. Drawing on the everyday experiences of teaching and learning queer studies at the College of Staten Island, Brim outlines the ways the field has been driven by the material and intellectual resources of those institutions that neglect and rarely serve poor and minority students. By exploring poor and working-class queer ideas and laying bare the structural and disciplinary mechanisms of inequality that suppress them, Brim jumpstarts a queer-class knowledge project committed to anti-elitist and anti-racist education. Poor Queer Studies is essential for all of those who care about the state of higher education and building a more equitable academy. Matt Brim is Associate Professor of Queer Studies in the English Department at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York; author of James Baldwin and the Queer Imagination; and coeditor of Imagining Queer Methods.

In Poor Queer Studies: Confronting Elitism in the University (Duke UP, 2020), Matt Brim shifts queer studies away from its familiar sites of elite education toward poor and working-class people, places, and pedagogies. Brim shows how queer studies also takes place beyond the halls of flagship institutions: in night school; after a three-hour commute; in overflowing classrooms at no-name colleges; with no research budget; without access to decent food; with kids in tow; in a state of homelessness. Drawing on the everyday experiences of teaching and learning queer studies at the College of Staten Island, Brim outlines the ways the field has been driven by the material and intellectual resources of those institutions that neglect and rarely serve poor and minority students. By exploring poor and working-class queer ideas and laying bare the structural and disciplinary mechanisms of inequality that suppress them, Brim jumpstarts a queer-class knowledge project committed to anti-elitist and anti-racist education. Poor Queer Studies is essential for all of those who care about the state of higher education and building a more equitable academy. Matt Brim is Associate Professor of Queer Studies in the English Department at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York; author of James Baldwin and the Queer Imagination; and coeditor of Imagining Queer Methods.

“Queer Studies and Advanced Waxing” (March 31, 2015) In its sixth and final season, Community decided to explore the series-long running joke about Dean Pelton's mysterious, complex sexuality. Henry Gilbert once again joins us to discuss how the dean is not actually gay — he may be a pansexual imp, after all — but in forcing him to pick a tidy label, this show does a good job showing how many queer people end up pigeonholing themselves in a way that doesn't fully express who they are. Listen to Henry's podcast, Talking Simpsons. Listen to his episode about Pride Nite at Disneyland on Podcast: The Ride. The Community “this better not awaken anything in me” clip. The trailer for Portuguese Gremlins, which is not only the best thing Community ever did but also a justification for the medium of TV in general.

This field-defining volume of queer anthropology foregrounds both the brilliance of anthropological approaches to queer and trans life and the ways queer critique can reorient and transform anthropology.  Consisting of fourteen original essays by both distinguished and new voices, Unsettling Queer Anthropology: Foundations, Reorientations, and Departures (Duke UP, 2024) advances a vision of queer anthropology grounded in decolonial, abolitionist, Black feminist, transnational, postcolonial, Indigenous, and queer of color approaches. Critically assessing both anthropology's queer innovations and its colonialist legacies, contributors highlight decades of work in queer anthropology; challenge the boundaries of anthropology's traditional methodologies, forms, and objects of study; and forge a critical, queer of color, decolonizing queer anthropology that unsettles anthropology's normative epistemologies. At a moment of revitalized calls to reckon with the white supremacist and settler colonial logics that continue to shape anthropology, this volume advances an anthropology accountable to the vitality of queer and trans life.

Erinnerungskämpfe: Neues deutsches Geschichtsbewusstsein (Ditzingen: Reclam, 2023) is a new, provocative volume on German memory cultures and politics edited by Jürgen Zimmerer. What can be loosely translated as Memory Wars: New German Historical Consciousness is a collection of chapters that lay bare a mosaic of a diverse German memory landscape as well as the major debates and turning points by which it is continuously shaped. It is subdivided in five sections together encompassing 23 chapters and covers German Empire and colonialism, National Socialism and the Second World War, the Holocaust and multidirectional memory, East/West Germany and reunification, and, finally, today's Berlin Republic. This volume gains in relevance by the day and shows how the German past(s) and the way they are debated, commemorated, and weaponized today and by whom has real-life, if not existential, consequences. It is far from an exclusively German matter. Memory Wars: New German Historical Consciousness is of interest for all those who critically engage with the instrumentalization of memory in ongoing cultural wars in other national contexts as well, such as the heated debates and rightwing attacks in the United States and elsewhere surrounding fields such as Critical Race Theory, Gender or Queer Studies that emerge out of the White Supremacist backlash and the concomitant increase in racism, trans- and homophobia. Jürgen Zimmerer is Professor of Global History and the head of the research center “Hamburg's (post-)colonial legacy” at the University of Hamburg. He served as the founding president of the International Network of Genocide Scholars for twelve years until 2017 and was the Senior Editor of the Journal of Genocide from 2005 to 2011. His research interests include German Colonialism, Comparative Genocide studies, Colonialism and the Holocaust, and Environmental Violence and Genocide and, for the specific German context, his work has been crucial in revealing the deep connections between the Holocaust and German colonialism – up until that point two German histories of violence hegemonically thought of as ontologically different, if thought together at all. His publications include German Rule, African Subjects: State Aspirations and the Reality of Power in Colonial Namibia (2021) and From Windhoek to Auschwitz?

This volume gains in relevance by the day and shows how the German past(s) and the way they are debated, commemorated, and weaponized today and by whom has real-life, if not existential, consequences. It is far from an exclusively German matter. Memory Wars: New German Historical Consciousness is of interest for all those who critically engage with the instrumentalization of memory in ongoing cultural wars in other national contexts as well, such as the heated debates and rightwing attacks in the United States and elsewhere surrounding fields such as Critical Race Theory, Gender or Queer Studies that emerge out of the White Supremacist backlash and the concomitant increase in racism, trans- and homophobia. Jürgen Zimmerer is Professor of Global History and the head of the research center “Hamburg's (post-)colonial legacy” at the University of Hamburg. He served as the founding president of the International Network of Genocide Scholars for twelve years until 2017 and was the Senior Editor of the Journal of Genocide from 2005 to 2011. His research interests include German Colonialism, Comparative Genocide studies, Colonialism and the Holocaust, and Environmental Violence and Genocide and, for the specific German context, his work has been crucial in revealing the deep connections between the Holocaust and German colonialism – up until that point two German histories of violence hegemonically thought of as ontologically different, if thought together at all.

Transgender Refugees and the Imagined South Africa: Bodies Over Borders and Borders Over Bodies (Palgrave MacMillan, 2018) tracks the conceptual journeying of the term ‘transgender' from the Global North—where it originated—along with the physical embodied journeying of transgender asylum seekers from countries within Africa to South Africa and considers the interrelationships between the two. The term 'transgender' transforms as it travels, taking on meaning in relation to bodies, national homes, institutional frameworks and imaginaries. This study centres on the experiences and narratives of people that can be usefully termed 'gender refugees', gathered through a series of life story interviews. It is the argument of this book that the departures, border crossings, arrivals and perceptions of South Africa for gender refugees have been both enabled and constrained by the contested meanings and politics of this emergence of transgender. This book explores, through these narratives, the radical constitutional-legal possibilities for 'transgender' in South Africa, the dissonances between the possibilities of constitutional law, and the pervasive politics/logic of binary ‘sex/gender' within South African society. In doing so, this book enriches the emergent field of Transgender Studies and challenges some of the current dominant theoretical and political perceptions of 'transgender'. It offers complex narratives from the African continent regarding sex, gender, sexuality and notions of home concerning particular geo-politically situated bodies. B Camminga (they/them) received a PhD from the Institute for Humanities in Africa (HUMA), University of Cape Town, in 2016. They have since held a postdoctoral fellowship at the African Centre for Migration & Society, Wits University, and several visiting fellowships, including at the Universities of Edinburgh and Oxford. They work on issues relating to gender identity and expression on the African continent with a focus on transgender migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers.

Note: This episode contains a discussion of suicide. A list of resources is available below.  In Undoing Suicidism: A Trans, Queer, Crip Approach to Rethinking (Assisted) Suicide (Temple UP, 2023), Alexandre Baril argues that suicidal people are oppressed by what he calls structural suicidism, a hidden oppression that, until now, has been unnamed and under-theorized. Each year, suicidism and its preventionist script and strategies reproduce violence and cause additional harm and death among suicidal people through forms of criminalization, incarceration, discrimination, stigmatization, and pathologization. This is particularly true for marginalized groups experiencing multiple oppressions, including queer, trans, disabled, or Mad people. Undoing Suicidism questions the belief that the best way to help suicidal people is through the logic of prevention. Alexandre Baril presents the thought-provoking argument that supporting assisted suicide for suicidal people could better prevent unnecessary deaths. Offering a new queercrip model of (assisted) suicide, he invites us to imagine what could happen if we started thinking about (assisted) suicide from an anti-suicidist and intersectional framework. Baril provides a radical reconceptualization of (assisted) suicide and invaluable reflections for academics, activists, practitioners, and policymakers. An open access edition of Undoing Suicidism, made available by the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa, is available here. Alexandre Baril (abaril@uOttawa.ca) is Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa. His work is situated at the crossroads of gender, queer, trans, disability/crip/Mad studies, critical gerontology and critical suicidology. His commitment to equity has earned him awards for his involvement in queer, trans and disabled communities, including the Canadian Disability Studies Association Tanis Doe Francophone Award, and the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion President's Award at the University of Ottawa. A prolific author who won the Young Researcher Award from the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa (2023), he has given over 200 presentations at the international level and has over 80 publications.

Note: This episode contains a discussion of suicide. A list of resources is available below.  In Undoing Suicidism: A Trans, Queer, Crip Approach to Rethinking (Assisted) Suicide (Temple UP, 2023), Alexandre Baril argues that suicidal people are oppressed by what he calls structural suicidism, a hidden oppression that, until now, has been unnamed and under-theorized. Each year, suicidism and its preventionist script and strategies reproduce violence and cause additional harm and death among suicidal people through forms of criminalization, incarceration, discrimination, stigmatization, and pathologization. This is particularly true for marginalized groups experiencing multiple oppressions, including queer, trans, disabled, or Mad people. Undoing Suicidism questions the belief that the best way to help suicidal people is through the logic of prevention. Alexandre Baril presents the thought-provoking argument that supporting assisted suicide for suicidal people could better prevent unnecessary deaths. Offering a new queercrip model of (assisted) suicide, he invites us to imagine what could happen if we started thinking about (assisted) suicide from an anti-suicidist and intersectional framework. Baril provides a radical reconceptualization of (assisted) suicide and invaluable reflections for academics, activists, practitioners, and policymakers. An open access edition of Undoing Suicidism, made available by the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa, is available here. Alexandre Baril (abaril@uOttawa.ca) is Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa. His work is situated at the crossroads of gender, queer, trans, disability/crip/Mad studies, critical gerontology and critical suicidology. His commitment to equity has earned him awards for his involvement in queer, trans and disabled communities, including the Canadian Disability Studies Association Tanis Doe Francophone Award, and the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion President's Award at the University of Ottawa. A prolific author who won the Young Researcher Award from the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa (2023), he has given over 200 presentations at the international level and has over 80 publications.

A full transcript of the interview is available for accessibility. Mara Mills and Rebecca Sanchez's Crip Authorship: Disability as Method (NYU Press, 2023)is an expansive volume presenting the multidisciplinary methods brought into being by disability studies and activism. Mara Mills and Rebecca Sanchez have convened leading scholars, artists, and activists to explore the ways disability shapes authorship, transforming cultural production, aesthetics, and media. Starting from the premise that disability is plural and authorship spans composition, affect, and publishing, this collection of thirty-five compact essays asks how knowledge about disability is produced and shared in disability studies. Disability alters, generates, and dismantles method. Crip authorship takes place within and beyond the commodity version of authorship, in books, on social media, and in creative works that will never be published. The chapters draw on the expertise of international researchers and activists in the humanities, social sciences, education, arts, and design. Across five sections—Writing, Research, Genre/Form, Publishing, Media—contributors consider disability as method for creative work: practices of writing and other forms of composition; research methods and collaboration; crip aesthetics; media formats and hacks; and the capital, access, legal standing, and care networks required to publish. Designed to be accessible and engaging for students, Crip Authorship also provides theoretically sophisticated arguments in a condensed form that will make the text a key resource for disability studies scholars. Mara Mills is Associate Professor in the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University, where she co-founded and co-directs the Center for Disability Studies. Rebecca Sanchez is Professor of English and director of the disability studies program at Fordham University. An open access version of Crip Authorship can be found at Open Square of NYU Press.

Disrupting White Mindfulness: Race and Racism in the Wellbeing Industry (Manchester UP, 2023) offers a timely commentary on the dominant narratives that shape the mindfulness industry - whiteness, postracialism and neoliberalism. Its positioning as ‘apolitical' forges institutions that fit comfortably into increasingly divided societies. The race-gender profile of these institutions reveals a White, middle-class profile of decision-makers, educators and staff that is mirrored in its audiences. Mechanisms that recycle the industry's whiteness include corporatist pedagogies, edicts of authority, disengagement with difference and inappropriate uses of mindfulness that distance People of the Global Majority. A growing emergent movement focused on a justice-infused mindfulness and liberatory wellbeing decolonises mindfulness and de-centres whiteness. Its premise in indigenous, global South, queer knowledges leverages difference to produce multiple solutions focused on liberation. There is room for White Mindfulness to change. Dr. Cathy-Mae Karelse (she/her) is a scholar-practitioner, changemaker and public speaker on issues of race, difference and belonging. She received a PhD from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London in 2019. Cathy-Mae is trained in numerous transformation approaches with 20+ years of experience in deep systems change that addresses the underlying social norms and narratives that keep institutionalised discrimination in place.

In the thirty years since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law, the lives of disabled people have not improved nearly as much as activists and politicians had hoped. In Crip Negativity (U of Minnesota Press, 2023), J. Logan Smilges shows us what's gone wrong and what we can do to fix it. Leveling a strong critique of the category of disability and liberal disability politics, Smilges asks and imagines what horizons might exist for the liberation of those oppressed by ableism—beyond access and inclusion. Inspired by models of negativity in queer studies, Black studies, and crip theory, Smilges proposes that bad crip feelings might help all of us to care gently for one another, even as we demand more from the world than we currently believe to be possible. J. Logan Smilges (they/them) is assistant professor of English language and literatures at the University of British Columbia and author of Queer Silence: On Disability and Rhetorical Absence (Minnesota, 2022).

He's launching a new social media platform The Real Life Network.  The NAACP has issued a travel warning for Florida. They say the state is belligerent toward blacks. This is absurd. Worse, it's a lie… The left has no interest in truth… The Los Angeles Dodgers have caved again to the leftist mob… Dennis talks to Lorie Smith, owner of web design firm 303 Creative. A Colorado law is requiring her to create gay-themed designs that violate her beliefs about marriage. She's joined by her Alliance Defending Freedom lawyer, Kellie Fiedorek.  Is ethnic, race or gender pride something we should put a lot of stock in? Or should we be more concerned about individual behavior? Dennis has thoughts. So do callers.  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.
