ABSTRACT Scholars have long noted the strong presence of women in animal advocacy movements. The twenty-first century has seen the rise of political parties devoted to animal issues across the western world. We do not yet know to what extent the gender dynamics of animal advocacy movements will carry over to these political parties, and the few scholars who have studied animal parties have not yet paid attention to the issue of gender. As a way of identifying and exploring the question of gender, this article reports the findings of an interview-based study of members of Australia’s Animal Justice Party (AJP), exploring their views on gender in the context of animal advocacy. In addition to being the first study of the role of gender in animal parties, this is the first to use interviews as a way of probing the motivations of those who support such parties. It shows the feminist ethics of care to be a central part of these motivations. The article engages with the issue of women’s presence in animal advocacy as well as men’s absence. It also considers animal parties as a potential avenue for women to exercise political leadership.

ABSTRACT This special section on ‘Gender and Indigeneity’ highlights important new work by scholars from Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Canada, Mexico and Hawaii. Together they challenge understandings of gender, sexuality, nature, land and bodies imposed under conditions of colonisation, and they do so by highlighting histories and ontologies not framed by the presence of colonising powers. At the same time, these authors also point to the inherent limitations in White Western feminist thinking around gender as an analytical category, thinking tied all too frequently to the same Enlightenment ontological and epistemological traditions and the same binary logics that sustained the control and exploitation of Indigenous peoples and their lands.

ABSTRACT For too long Indigenous queers have been forced to quiet our pleasure and intimacy to be digestible to our communities. As more Indigenous queer scholars have begun to interrogate and move in conversation between Native studies and queer and feminist theory, Indigenous queers and feminists are carefully articulating a necessary shift in approach and perspective when unpacking the erasures and displacemennt of intimacy and desire under the tyranny of cis-heteropatriarchy, settler colonialism, and occupation. In the case of Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) theories of intimacy can only emerge from the specific lessons our ʻāina (land, that which feeds) has taught us about how to practice an aloha (love, pleasure, and intimacy) that is just, generative, and deeply satisfying. Therefore, this article takes aloha and ʻāina seriously. And together as author and reader we explore the way kaona (Hawaiian literary techniques) demonstrate a deeply profound relationship between our ʻāina and the ways our kūpuna practice intimacy, pleasure, and consent with each other. These moʻolelo call us all to remember that if ʻāina and our relationship to her is our greatest model of intimacy then reestablishing an intimate connection to her and to each other are our most promising pathways towards decolonisation.

I offer a philosophical examination and feminist queering of the social imaginaries of the dead - with specific reference to recent public disclosures about death in Ireland's Mother and Baby Homes - by looking at the issue of spectrality through the work of Jacques Derrida and others. What does it mean to respond to the dead, who, though temporarily forgotten, return to haunt us not as remembered human beings but as remnants or remainders? The normative distinctions between past and present; past, present and future; between living and non-living; absence and presence; and self and other are all made indistinct when displaced by a non-linear temporality. What differential is in play with respect to those who are grievable (in Judith Butler's terms) and the others who constitute what Giorgio Agamben calls bare life? The strategy of memorialising the re/discovered dead seems inadequate, and I outline an alternative hauntological ethics, as suggested by Derrida, and ask if there are queer social imaginaries that allow us to live well with the dead not because we give respect, but because death itself has been rethought. I close with some speculations arising from Deleuzian vitalism and Rosi Braidotti's optimistic claim that 'death frees us into life'.

ABSTRACT In 2017, the #MeToo hashtag drew focus to the issue of sexual harassment in Australia, following its widespread reach in the United States. However, long before #MeToo made waves around the globe, feminist activists on university campuses were highlighting the prevalence of sexual violence in their communities. These dialogues in Australia have proceeded on somewhat separate terrains, with relatively few student activists taking up the #MeToo banner in their campaigns. Nonetheless, the narrative of #MeToo continues to be retrospectively mapped onto student sexual assault activism in the media and public discourse. This paper considers the disjunct between the campus sexual assault movement and the ‘#MeToo moment’ in Australia through first-hand research conducted with student feminist activists. It explores the racial and class politics of the so-called ‘#MeToo moment’ in Australia, and critiques the way in which diverse feminist movements against sexual violence have been subsumed under the master narrative of #MeToo. For these movements to have transformative potential, I suggest, requires sexual violence activists to engage with anti-colonial and anti-capitalist struggles, beyond the narrow vision posited by #MeToo.

ABSTRACT This special section of Australian Feminist Studies is dedicated to examining the echoes and reverberations of #MeToo beyond its viral epicentre in American celebrity media culture. It focuses on how #MeToo has resonated within institutions, practices and discourses associated with culture, science, and law. It aims to shed light on Australia’s unique engagements with #MeToo discourse and charts how discourses of #MeToo have propelled feminist critiques and reconfigured existing hierarchies. It also investigates the possibilities for #MeToo beyond neoliberal cultural logics.

ABSTRACT Understanding the emotional landscapes of communities and individuals outside of the metropole requires a close analysis of context-specificities and an appreciation of place-based, local knowledges. In this article, I employ a decolonising approach to expose racism and whiteness through centring the emotional experiences of an Asian migrant queer woman academic residing and working in a white, Anglo-Celtic Australian society. Using autoethnographic data derived from lived experiences, I reveal my encounters with two main forms of racism at the workplace: 1. casual, everyday racism; 2. and institutional, systemic racism. Drawing from a particular strand of feminist perspective that I have earlier developed, fire dragon feminism, the article explores the navigation of emotions in the face of racism and discusses the exercise of two particular fire dragon feminist superpowers of feminist rage and queer pessimism while inhabiting in the negative. The article ends on a resistance note on fire dragon feminist hopes for a reimagined future.

ABSTRACT Law's imaginary and logics are notoriously limited in their ways of thinking through and adjudicating sexual violence. The #MeToo movement is in large part a public, extra-legal response to the inadequacies of liberal law in responding to sexual violence. #MeToo has purportedly interrogated liberal institutions and the operation of gender within them. In particular, #MeToo has shown that gendered harm is a normalised part of the operation of liberal institutions. But more needs to be done within #MeToo to interrogate these concepts and to decolonise #MeToo. We need to decolonise and historicise the concepts of ‘gendered harm' and ‘institutions’ in order to understand how these have failed and, at times, even been weaponized against Indigenous women. This article provides a reading of Australian liberal institutions and recent historical processes with a view to showing how these institutions need to be interpreted in view of a decolonial praxis of #MeToo.

ABSTRACT In the face of commercial fashion photography's contribution to the shaping of the gendered public fantasy of the child, this article quarries, through a perspective shaped by queer affect theory, the kinds of figurations that in independent fashion magazines have stimulated alternative ways of thinking and feeling in relation to children. The case study, or scene, through which this analysis is conducted is ‘Juweeltje,’ a fashion editorial spread shot by feminist photographer Cornelie Tollens for Dutch magazine in 1995. In the midst of a controversial period dominated by collective media anxiety and moral panic around child pornography, and underpinned by conservative sentimentalising efforts to safeguard the Child, Dutch, an independent fashion magazine published between 1994 and 2002, grappled with such discourses by forging a visual trajectory for rethinking childhood through a queer affective prism. This article ultimately seeks to animate discussions around queer childhood and expand the current affective taxonomies associated with the child by unearthing the rich affective scenarios enacted by feminist fashion photography.
