Abstract:This essay highlights my first-hand experiences as a participant in the 2019 Black Transnational Decolonial Feminism summer program in Brazil. Grounding the article in critical scholarship—including Black feminist thought and decolonial feminism—I explore, reflect upon, and examine key challenges and possibilities that emerged in the program. I am interested in contributing to fostering transnational, Black feminist solidarity and forging connections across lines of contention.

Abstract:The Coquille River Basin has long been a steady stream of stories, peoples, animals, and non-human objects. The basin has, however, been polluted, invaded, and subjected to myriad maltreatments, the most recent result of which is the decline of the Coquille River fall Chinook salmon. This article contributes to the "On Decolonial Feminisms" special issue by addressing this decline through a participatory action research project based in the digital humanities, Indigenous feminisms, and land-based pedagogy. From this theoretical framework, we produce a method of critical cartography and storied land utilizing ArcGIS story-mapping technology to educate viewers on the history of the Coquille River Basin and the decline of Chinook salmon. This project challenges settler narratives, particularly settler environmentalism and patriarchal control of land, by rejecting dichotomies that deanimate non-human beings and by demonstrating Indigenous feminist stewardship of land through love, desire, care, and prayer. The article ends by providing an overview of the ways digital art projects can continue challenging settler colonialism and by encouraging feminist scholars to theoretically expand their work to interrogate and challenge the patriarchal subjugation and oppression of all beings.

Abstract:In Rican feminist thought, decolonizing is not merely an approach, method, or exercise, but an ongoing way of life. From Puerto Rican nationalist Lolita Lebron's cry that she "came to die for Puerto Rico" to the signal from Boricua author Elizabet Velasquez that "staying alive, well, that too is Puerto Rican history," Rican women have long struggled, resisted, and endured against colonial time. This "ongoing performance of bodily endurance" (Sandra Ruiz, 2019) under US colonialism, most recently marked by Maria, economic violence, the coronavirus pandemic, and femicide is a decolonial yearning, documented in the cultural work of Boricua women writers, artists, and activists. Boricua feminist thought, however, is largely absent in the academic feminist canon. In this paper, I argue Boricua feminism is not often interpolated as feminism since it does not resemble the expected, and particularly, Western, view of feminism as "women's struggles against men and patriarchy," though multiple patriarchies hinder the lives of Puerto Rican women and gender minorities. Rather, anticolonialism is at the forefront of Boricua feminist and queer struggles and subjectivities, yet is dislocated by these same lenses, and interpellated as not properly endemic to gender and sexual identity formations. Yet Boricua feminism is vital to decolonial feminist imaginings.

Abstract:The settler gaze has created the conditions in which Indigenous women and Two-Spirit people experience high levels of violence both historically and in current times. This essay analyzes California Indigenous feminist resistance to the violences in the mission impacted region of the Californias. Toypurina, Bárbara Gandiaga, and Yaquenonsat are discussed as examples of California Indigenous feminist resistance to settler colonial systems that contributed to the murdered and missing Indigenous women, girl, and Two-Spirit (MMIWG2S+) crisis during their time period. These historic California Indigenous women are then compared with current efforts to address the MMIWG2S+ crisis in California and beyond. Counter-colonial Indigenous intergenerational storytelling is used as a methodology to read these stories and the settler records in order to resist the settler gaze.

Abstract:This article illustrates how the global movement against "gender ideology" informs rightwing attacks on university-based research and mainstream academic institutions in the United States. I take as my starting point the figure of Robert Oscar Lopez—a "pro-family" activist who participated in anti-gender mobilizations in Western Europe as a tenured professor at a California public university. In addition to publishing numerous online pieces about the dangers of marriage equality and "same-sex parenting," he has written extensively about US higher education and the difficulties he faced as a Brown, Christian, conservative professor. Through an examination of Lopez's essays on the university from 2012 (when he first spoke out against LGBT equality) to 2016 (when he resigned from his faculty position), I track the shifting contours of conservative hostility toward the academy amidst the resurgence of far-right populisms around the globe and the mainstreaming of ultraconservative ideas in US political culture.The first half of this article discusses the role counterknowledge production played in Lopez's "pro-family" activism. Taking cues from anti-gender campaigns in Western Europe—and building on the American right's ongoing efforts to produce "academicized" conservative expertise—Lopez sought to undermine marriage equality by debunking queer and feminist research and offering alternative perspectives on LGBT families. In the second half, I examine Lopez's drift farther rightward. While his early writing imagined the possibility of a politicized conservative intellectual movement, his later essays abandoned this fantasy and, instead, derided college degrees as wastes of money and denounced publicly funded education. I pay careful attention to Lopez's attempts to cast his anti-gender/anti-university position as advancing women's rights, racial justice, and anti-colonial resistance. In the process, this article provides insight into how far-right racial, gender, and sexual politics scramble conventional distinctions between the left and the right.
摘要:本文阐述了反对“性别意识形态”的全球运动如何影响右翼对美国大学研究和主流学术机构的攻击。我以罗伯特·奥斯卡·洛佩斯(Robert Oscar lopez)作为我的出发点，他是一位“支持家庭”的活动家，作为加州一所公立大学的终身教授，他参与了西欧的反性别动员。除了在网上发表大量关于婚姻平等和“同性育儿”危险的文章外，他还撰写了大量关于美国高等教育的文章，以及他作为一名信奉基督教的布朗大学保守派教授所面临的困难。通过对洛佩兹从2012年(他第一次公开反对LGBT平等)到2016年(他辞去教职)关于哈佛大学的文章的研究，我追踪了在全球极右翼民粹主义复苏和美国政治文化中极端保守思想主流化的背景下，保守派对哈佛大学敌意的变化。本文的前半部分讨论了反知识生产在洛佩兹的“亲家庭”行动中所起的作用。从西欧的反性别运动中得到启发，并在美国右翼不断努力产生“学院化”的保守专业知识的基础上，洛佩兹试图通过揭穿酷儿和女权主义的研究，并提供关于LGBT家庭的另一种观点，来破坏婚姻平等。在下半场，我考察了洛佩斯的右前卫。虽然他早期的作品想象了一场政治化的保守知识分子运动的可能性，但他后来的文章放弃了这种幻想，而是嘲笑大学学位是浪费钱，谴责公共资助的教育。我特别注意到洛佩兹试图将他的反性别/反大学立场描述为促进妇女权利、种族正义和反殖民抵抗。在此过程中，本文提供了对极右翼种族、性别和性政治如何争夺左翼和右翼之间传统区别的见解。

Malatino compares two billboards, one declaring "Trans lives are sacred," found in Detroit in July 2019, and one stating "Trans people deserve health care, support, justice, safety, love," stationed near the border of Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms in November 2018 (2020, 25–26 and 30–31). (Nothing works for staving off isolation, illness, and routine workplace discrimination like stabbing your friends dressed as a neon cartoon alien with funky accessories, am I right?) Play, laughter, and jokes—collective endeavors, done with others, whether real or imaginary, present or distant (Freud 1905, Bergson 1912)—are key to trans care via media2. Playing together, via media, including the comedy of our own making, on the other hand, can take on a form of care, and we in turn keep each other alive. The newest iteration of the decades-long irony wherein cis/straight people reveal themselves as relying on the very healthcare they would deny trans and queer folks but with a new toxic twist, a spoof image of the cover of trans theorist Paul B. Preciado's Testo Junkies with Rogan photoshopped on the cover was soon circulating through the trans internet.
马拉蒂诺比较了两块广告牌，一块是2019年7月在底特律发现的，上面写着“跨性别者的生命是神圣的”，另一块是2018年11月(2020年、25-26日和30-31日)在约书亚树和二十九棕榈边界附近放置的，上面写着“跨性别者应该得到医疗、支持、正义、安全、爱”。(没有什么比把你的朋友打扮成霓虹灯卡通外星人，用时髦的配饰刺死你的朋友更能避免孤立、疾病和日常的职场歧视了，我说的对吗?)游戏、笑声和笑话——集体努力，与他人一起完成，无论是真实的还是想象的，现在的还是遥远的(弗洛伊德，1905;柏格森，1912)——是通过媒体传递关怀的关键。另一方面，通过媒体，包括我们自己制作的喜剧，一起玩耍，可以采取一种照顾的形式，我们反过来让彼此活着。这是几十年来的最新一次讽刺，在这个讽刺中，直男/直男暴露出自己依赖于他们拒绝接受的变性人和酷儿群体的医疗保健，但有了新的有毒转折，一张恶搞跨性别理论家保罗·b·普雷西亚多(Paul B. Preciado)的《特图瘾君子》(Testo Junkies)封面的图片很快在跨性别互联网上流传。
