Philosophy

While many Simone de Beauvoir scholars have discussed the importance of the category of the erotic in Beauvoir's philosophical works, none explored the importance of Beauvoir's early autobiographical works to our understanding of the development of Beauvoir's ethical philosophy nor have they suggested how Beauvoir's ethical engagement with the erotic might be pertinent to black feminist philosophy. As such, this dissertation is a two-fold project. First, it presents an account of the lived experience of Beauvoir as illustrated through her early autobiographical works. This account focuses primarily on Beauvoir's romantic relationships and traces the development of her conversions leading to her most important philosophical contribution, that of existential ethics, through her accounts of these romantic relationships. Using Beauvoir's Diary of a Philosophy Student, Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter, Wartime Diary, The Prime of Life, and Letters to Sartre, I maintain that it is only through our close engagement with these early autobiographical writings about her philosophical understanding of her romantic relationships that we are able to understand how Beauvoir comes into the ethical views that will inform the rest of her writing career. Beauvoir's focus on embodiment, facticity, conversion, and lived experience illustrate the extent to which these matters are inextricable from her existential ethics. Beauvoir claims in her philosophical ethical writings that the erotic moment serves a privileged moment when we encounter the other. Both Beauvoir's autobiographical writings and her ethical writings provide us with what is termed a "disposition toward the erotic," which is an attitude that stems from reflection upon and lived experience with the other in love or an erotic encounter, where we choose to encounter non-beloved others in a manner similar to that which we encounter the beloved other. In this way, a disposition toward the erotic is the foundation of Beauvoir's ethical assertions, with regard to what obligations we have toward the freedoms of others and how and why it is our ethical duty to fight against oppressive circumstances. The second part of this project draws a bridge between Beauvoir's ethical writings concerning the topic of the erotic and black feminism. As such, I begin my discussion of black feminism by talking about Black women's lived experience as recounted through black feminism itself. After this, I focus on Audre Lorde's "Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power," bell hooks' series of books on love and Patricia Hill-Collins' Black Sexual Politics, since these serve as sources of direct black feminist engagement with the question of the erotic. I maintain that, in very important ways, black women's lived experience with the erotic has also informed the aims of the project of black feminism. As such, I illustrate how black women's lived experience has been colored by oppressive views of black women's embodiment and sexuality. I argue, as opposed to oppressive understandings of black…

▼ In order to reconcile the absence of sexually deviant witch figures (succubae, demonic women, etc.) within the formation of American national literature in the nineteenth century with the fantastic elements found in European variations on the gothic, my thesis aims to demonstrate transatlantic variants of erotic signifiers attached to witch figures in nineteenth-century gothic fiction and mediums across national traditions. I will begin by tracing the transatlantic and historical impact of Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger’s Malleus Maleficarum—an early modern handbook of sorts used widely in witchcraft inquisitions—on Early American witch trials, specifically where its influence deviates from a sexualized conception of the witch and where a different prosopography of the historical witch emerges. Next, I will assess a short sample of nineteenth-century American pulp fiction to demonstrate the historical impact of America’s erotically decoded witch type on fictionalized versions or caricatures of the witch. In doing so I hope to create a reading that informs a more transatlantically complex representation of The Scarlet Letter. Finally, in order to underscore the significance of these national and historical departures of The Scarlet Letter as a gothic novel, I will contrast Hawthorne’s novel with a selective reading of nineteenth-century gothic texts from England and France that employ the witch or demonic feminine motif in an erotically codified and fantastic setting, namely using Old World magic and history that draws from French and English traditions.To demonstrate the significance of erotically coded witches in the British tradition, I will briefly examine Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “Christabel” as a gothic text that relies heavily on the erotic affect encoded in the figure of Geraldine. I will also touch on Prosper Mérimée’s “La Vénus d’Ille” and Théophile Gautier’s “La Morte Amoreuse,” two remarkable short stories that highlight the sublime terror of sexually deviant, occult female figures. Through such a collection of readings of witches and erotic, occult women I hope to amplify a more latent theme underlying The Scarlet Letter and America’s conflicted relationship with the gothic tradition: namely its crucial lack of erotic enchantment as a channel for the experience of gothic affect, the fantastic, and even sublime terror.

▼ This thesis comprises two components. The Quiet Noise is a historical novelset in post-WWII Sydney. It draws upon a 1946 unsolved murder of a younggirl and the accompanying local legend to stage an imaginative recuperationof the dead and their impact on the living by working from archive anddiminishing living memory for historical verisimilitude. The story follows acommunity of outsiders embroiled in sly grog and sex catering to thousandsof returned servicemen displaced in the mercurial city recovering from war.Whilst violence, speculation, and vendetta frame the narrative, through thearc of the adolescent character Templeton Luckett, the novel is also abildungsroman of queer desire which attempts to speak to the lacuna of queerAustralian historical fiction through an affective engagement with occludedhistories.The dissertation, Quicken, Shine, Fold: Jouissance Émue and the Erotics ofReading Queerly, contends that the emotional dimension of jouissance -jouissance émue - provides a new way of considering the affective encounterwith the text that intervenes in contemporary debates about queerrelationality. It argues that by dislodging jouissance from its phallic model, adialogue on erotics outside of a heteronormative paradigm can bereinvigorated. Jouissance émue provides an opening into intransigent debateson queer sociality and a potential line of flight from a paranoid readingposition. The first chapter charts Jane Gallops Precocious Jouissance essayand takes her findings on émue to a rereading of Roland Barthess ownjouissance and an inquiry into the place of the phallus in economies ofpleasure. The second chapter examines the antisocial thesis of queer theoryand the possibility of a relational jouissance involving connection rather thanself-shattering. It explores the queer relationships with negativity, abjection,and the death drive, and asserts the possibility of feeling, through the text, theuncanny erotic presence of the dead author, posing the aesthetic concept ofduende as an analogue. The final chapter situates an erotics of reading withinthe greater affective turn in literary studies and braids the lesbian-feministerotic tradition into understandings of future possibilities for reading queerly.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

This exegesis explores contemporary retellings of the Arabian Nights (the Nights). This collection was first translated for European audiences in 1704, and subsequently became something of a ubiquitous cultural icon in the West, particularly in nineteenth-century England. On the basis of texts influenced by the Nights, such as Vathek (1786) by William Beckford, Arabian Nights and Days (1979) by Naguib Mahfouz, Nights at the Circus (1984) by Angela Carter and When Dreams Travel (2003) by Githa Hariharan, this exegesis argues that there is a literary tradition of using the collection, and the frame story in particular, as a platform from which to critique power. The nature and scope of this critique has changed over time: texts from the nineteenth century have tended to consider the moral consequences of colonialism, while those in the twentieth and current century are generally using the Nights as a vehicle to explore feminist, ecological and postcolonial issues. In addition to the exegesis, this thesis includes a novella length piece of creative writing that speaks to this tradition, specifically by using the Nights to critique male power over women, and female complicity in this process; references to human power over animals are also frequently embedded in the text. The novella, an eroticised reimagining of the Nights, is narrated in the first person by Scheherazade and includes a number of individual stories that reference the tropes of fairy tale and traditional British children’s literature. Thematically, the novella challenges what Val Plumwood has called the “the lower value accorded the underside, the body, the senses, emotion, the imagination, the animal, the feminine and nature” (Feminism 123). By conflating Scheherazade’s storytelling with her embodiment, it introduces the concept of ‘skin narratives’ – or sexual performances- and suggests that these play an important role in her perception of empowerment. This focus on the body is meaningful primarily because it accepts embodiment as the ultimate source of all culture and cognition, thus reversing a fundamental Western binary. The novella suggests that if stories emerge from bodies, and both are conceived as having liberatory potential, then storytelling is a type of imaginative becoming that invites agency into our material lives.

▼

Le cancer gynécologique pelvien est une pathologie qui se loge dans les organes génitaux internes de la femme : vagin, utérus, col de l'utérus et ovaires. Ces organes malades sont traités chez les patientes de l'étude par hystérectomie plus ou moins élargie (ablation des organes génitaux), chimiothérapie, radiothérapie et curiethérapie. C'est donc une castration que ces femmes subissent dans la réalité d'un corps qui souffre. Cancer et traitements sont autant d'effractions corporelles qui réitèrent une représentation psychique de la pénétration comme de l’accueil passif de l'autre en soi. Cette figure de l'étranger à l’intérieur du moi convoque des fantasmes, affects et représentations pénétrantes qui endommagent l'image du corps, génère des images de passivité et ravive des expériences de passivation. De plus, cette effraction s'opère spécifiquement sur le lieu intime du sexe, là où s'incarne le devenir femme puis le devenir mère, convoquant le féminin de la femme dans sa pluralité, mais aussi dans ses rapports à la féminité. Après avoir dégagé, dans un référentiel littéraire très large, les rares travaux qui mettent en perspective l'effraction d'un cancer gynécologique et ses traitements avec la sexualité des femmes, nous avons situé notre propre recherche dans une approche de psychopathologie psychanalytique et dans ses rapports avec la psychosomatique. S'ensuit un repérage de la théorie psychanalytique conséquent des deux grands champs sollicités par le sujet de l'étude : la sexualité féminine et le corps dans la maladie. La méthodologie originale mise en place s'inscrit dans une démarche exploratoire étayée de la passation de deux tests projectifs : le Rorschach et le TAT, ainsi que d'entretiens cliniques de recherche. Il s'agit d'une méthodologie longitudinale sur trois temps choisis du parcours thérapeutique de ces femmes. Les résultats, traités dans un premier temps dans la dimension singulière de l'étude de cas, sont regroupé ensuite en fonction des hypothèses pour faire apparaître des aménagements communs chez ces patientes. L'analogie entre la situation de l'infans et celle de ces femmes sous contraintes de passivité accompagne la description des trois temps de l'étude. Celle-ci répond à l'hypothèse d'une mobilisation de modalités psychiques spécifiques du traitement de l'effraction corporelle qui convoquent, malmènent, blessent et suppriment les organes génitaux internes. L'étude révèle l'actualisation d'angoisses primitives spécifiquement féminines, telle que l'angoisse de pénétration, traitées par des modalités limites, narcissiques et anales autour d'un fantasme de corps troué et d'une intériorité dangereuse. En définitive, l'étude explore l'ensemble du jeu pulsionnel pour en décrypter les mouvements d’intrication et de désintrication sous-tendant le désinvestissement érotique du génital, convoquant le féminin dans ses potentialités passives et accompagnant l'infléchissement de la relation d'objet sous l'influence de la pulsion de mort.

▼ This report explores the relationship between expressive culture and decolonial politics by taking up an analysis of contemporary Afro-Nicaraguan women’s diasporic cultural production. It shows how, in the face of political exclusion and national unbelonging within the context of the Nicaraguan nation, appeals to diaspora and the counter-nationalist threat they pose may aid in securing state-granted cultural, political, and material rights for Afro-Nicaraguans. Yet, if not, they may at the very least aid in establishing a fuller sense of autonomy from the state through a symbolic alliance with the Anglophone Caribbean. This contemporary forging of diaspora is made possible through cultural production as well as through what I term a cultural politics of opacity/interiority that figures heavily in Afro-Nicaraguan women’s art, and perhaps black women’s art more broadly. This report suggests that it is the obscurity of opacity that makes it a radical political mechanism for social transformation, and argues that despite the eternal navigation of contradictions and neoliberal markets, Afro-Nicaraguan women artists make space in their work for the centering of black women’s sexuality, pleasure, and erotic desires for a more autonomous and liberatory future. It is precisely the illegibility of culture as politics and of the interiority of black women’s erotic desires to the Nicaraguan state that enables the radical political potential of Afro-Nicaraguan women’s cultural production. This report brings together scholarship on the black radical imaginary, black feminist pleasure politics, and the political mobilization of Afro-Nicaraguan women to further think through what more liberatory and decolonial visions for the future might look like, as well as the strategies that might be used to get there. I argue that a politics of opacity rooted in the intersectional experiences of black women, as demonstrated in the context of Afro-Nicaraguan women, may not only privilege the erotic as an interior and perhaps less co-optable form than the pornographic promoted and sold within larger neoliberal markets, but may be the very place from which to think liberatory politics.

▼ To date, feminist geographers and geographers of sexualities have yet to fully interrogate post sexual revolution society. In this dissertation I examine the politics of sex-positive play parties, through the case study of Kinky Salon (KS) – a global organization that claims to catalyze a contemporary sex culture revolution. This project expands on previous feminist geography and geographies of sexualities scholarship centering queer, kinky sex, demonstrating that non-normative sexual practices are informed by and contribute to sexual revolution legacies. I extend feminist geographies’ theorizing of affect and emotion to show how sexual intimacies are care-work, with the emotional power to bring about relation-building and sexual understanding. In doing so, play-based sex-positive politics are highlighted as a framework to promote community, and resistance against norms that constrain sexually deviant bodies. This project highlights the complexities of sex-based efforts at social change, which I show continue to reflect inequalities in society even as they seek to transform it. I begin by asking: What is so political about playful sex? Answering this guiding question required a multi-sited, mixed methodological, ethnographic approach, to undertake a feminist geographical exploration of embodied sexuality, play, and care as activism. It took two years of field research to gain trust among members of a sex-positive community. I conducted fifty-three semi-structured interviews, and countless hours of informal conversations, proving crucial to my overall understanding of sex-positive culture. Time spent in the field was enriched by observant-participation as a volunteer, culminating in a transnational tour of a global community. The data collected underscores the political contestations of inclusivity ethics and the transnational spread of sex culture aimed at changing discourses about deviant sex. I show that play is constructed as transformative for community members who adopt activist non-normative care practices that require new theorizing of sexual subjectivity. This project brings together geographies of sexualities and feminist geographies to move them forward. By revealing how affect, emotion, and intimacy, are co-constituted, I suggest that there is an opportunity to more fully explore what care ethics has to offer sexuality studies.

▼ This thesis is a series of textual studies which posits that key libertine characters in the latter half of the eighteenth century possess a cohesive and unique attitude towards time. The works reviewed are Clarissa (1748) by Samuel Richardson, Les Liaisons Dangereuses (1782) by Choderlos de Laclos, and Juliette (1797) by the Marquis de Sade. The shared sense of temporality across the libertine characters of these works manifest in four key thematic parallels. The first theme is a conflict between the libertine characters role as the creator of a transgressive narrative and libertinisms emphasis on the hedonistic moment of pleasure. Each demands a different attitude towards time and this creates an underlying tension which the libertine must attempt to resolve. Second is a desire to create a legacy, which manifests as a desire to narrate. This is often seen in their comparison to other libertine figures both immediate and historical, and informs the libertine characters consideration of past and future. Third, the libertine character attempts to reconcile the tension between narration and moment, and still establish a legacy, through a concept of articulated time: the careful moderation of ones actions in order to establish a degree of control over temporality. Yet the fourth and final theme identified is failure, as the libertine character is unable to maintain this articulated time, and by extension sees a general failure of his or her respective libertine projects. While the individual aspects of the libertine understanding of time in these works might be seen in other literature, taken as a whole they produce a cohesive sense of libertine temporality unique to fiction from latter half of the eighteenth century. This study sheds new light and meanings on the most significant libertine characters from this period, and reveals the way in which their sense of time, and the history of libertine writing and thinking before them, frames and informs each of their actions. This analysis does not purport to be applicable to all libertine writing, but rather presents a critical insight that reinforces the literary and cultural significance of major works of libertine fiction from the eighteenth century.

The shared sense of temporality across the libertine characters of these works manifest in four key thematic parallels. The first theme is a conflict between the libertine characters role as the creator of a transgressive narrative and libertinisms emphasis on the hedonistic moment of pleasure. Each demands a different attitude towards time and this creates an underlying tension which the libertine must attempt to resolve. Second is a desire to create a legacy, which manifests as a desire to narrate. This is often seen in their comparison to other libertine figures both immediate and historical, and informs the libertine characters consideration of past and future. Third, the libertine character attempts to reconcile the tension between narration and moment, and still establish a legacy, through a concept of articulated time: the careful moderation of ones actions in order to establish a degree of control over temporality. Yet the fourth and final theme identified is failure, as the libertine character is unable to maintain this articulated time, and by extension sees a general failure of his or her respective libertine projects. While the individual aspects of the libertine understanding of time in these works might be seen in other literature, taken as a whole they produce a cohesive sense of libertine temporality unique to fiction from latter half of the eighteenth century. This study sheds new light and meanings on the most significant libertine characters from this period, and reveals the way in which their sense of time, and the history of libertine writing and thinking before them, frames and informs each of their actions. This analysis does not purport to be applicable to all libertine writing, but rather presents a critical insight that reinforces the literary and cultural significance of major works of libertine fiction from the eighteenth century.
