Reading, Writing, and Rewriting the Prostitute Body

The sound of the school bell ringing happily is a relief for me Quach Tien Ni, who has just downloaded the latest mobile game software, and can finally play comfortably. Acting obediently to the round-faced auntie like a dumpling for fifty minutes, my face would go numb too.-,.-^ Never mind, who told me to decide to be a quiet normal girl in this beginner high school life? Oh, how nostalgic for those epic scenes from middle school-time in China studying in Dong Nguyen, ah, and also Tinh My, is the idol of many female students...

Devil's Kiss

In April in the human world, the spring wind is still cold, the first night it rains again, there is still water on the curved dome, the wind just blows the drops of water, and the eaves fall into the collar. Inside the communal house at Dong Cung, two figures, one purple and one red, sat on a cold stone bench, in the breeze, fighting the humidity together. The red sleeve of his shirt flew up in the wind, the four princes held a glass of jade wine and gently placed it on the table, stared at each other for a long time, before opening his mouth to say, "What are you thinking about?" The man was suddenly startled, turned his head slightly, smiled bitterly, and said in a cold voice, "It's just a trifle."

Bad Attitude(s) on Trial is a critical analysis of pornography in the context of contemporary Canada. The notion that pornography both reflects sexual domination and 'victimizes' women has recently found expression in law in the landmark Canadian Supreme Court decision of R. v. Butler (1992). Many feminists embrace this new law as progressive, but in the post-Butler years, straight, mainstream pornography is still flourishing, while sexual representations that challenge conventional notions of sexuality, such as those centering on gay and lesbian sex and s/m sex, are the focus of censorship. It is the censorship of sexual others that the authors critique from a legal, cultural, gay, and philosophical standpoint. Lise Gotell examines the intervention of the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) in the Butler decision and provides an overview of socio-legal debates on pornography and censorship. Brenda Cossman examines the Butler decision itself and challenges the dominant reading of this case as a feminist victory. Becki Ross critically examines the expert testimony she delivered in defense of Bad Attitude, an American lesbian sex magazine seized by police from Glad Day Bookshop in Toronto in 1992. She details the difficulties she encountered in explicating and contextualizing the specificities, nuances, and complexities of lesbian s/m fantasy in a court of law. In the final chapter, Shannon Bell advances a conception of pornography that is not distinguishable from philosophy, using philosophy to make pornography. Bad Attitude(s) on Trial provides a new debate on pornography and feminism. It will be of particular interest to students of both women's, and gay and lesbian issues, but will also be relevant for scholars of law, political science, and philosophy, as well as for anyone interested in a different, provocative view of the Butler decision.

Subversive Itinerary investigates the theoretical evolution of the influential political theorist Gad Horowitz, as well as the historical impact of his ideas on Canadian life and letters. Bringing together dynamic new works by both established and emerging scholars, along with three new articles by Horowitz himself, this volume examines the concepts he developed and extends his approach beyond the current historical moment. The book includes a history of Horowitz's engagements as a public intellectual through appraisals of his early, mid, and late-career contributions, from the sixties to the present day. Along the way, the contributors present innovative new work in Canadian political thought, continental theory, Jewish philosophy, Buddhism, and radical general semantics. Subversive Itinerary demonstrates how Horowitz's itinerary delivers invaluable tools for understanding issues of critical importance today.

The Thought of Gad Horowitz

Subversive Itinerary

FAST FEMINISM is a new-old feminism grounded in politics, performance and philosophy. It is in close proximity to postfeminisms of the poststructuralist variety--third-wave feminism, queer feminism, cyberfeminism and feminism 3.0. While FAST FEMINISM operates in proximity to other feminisms, its 'natural' home is in queer theory. Queer gets its meaning and its politics from its oppositional relationship to hegemonic norms. To queer something is to disrupt it, to put it under scrutiny and to attempt to change it. FAST FEMINISM takes the hypermasculine speed of Paul Virilio and makes it feminist. FAST FEMINISM is the bastard offspring and the happy accident of speed theory. FAST FEMINISM is a philo-porno-political practice--a pragmatic philosophy and politics--enacted by the pornographic sage who moves through the text as "FF." Fast feminist event sites include female ejaculation, drag-kinging, an infamous child-pornography trial, Bataillean fucking at a women's bathhouse, posthuman-humachine seduction and sex organ tissue-engineering. FF is a post-gender provocateur, not so much a gender terrorist as a gender risk-taker going the distance with her body. FF's philosophy is lived. Actions count. One resists with one's body.
