In recent days, &dquo;America’s New War&dquo; has been given an official name: &dquo;Operation Infinite Justice.&dquo; On one level, this name is itself an injustice. I think of Levinas here, whose notion of justice is an inexhaustible responsibility to the other, where any repayment of debt only multiplies obligation. In this sense, the horrors of 9/ 11 are &dquo;ours&dquo; and &dquo;not ours&dquo; at the same time, and this singularity needs to be remembered.

S. Crawley
Using autoethnographic scenes from her lived experiences, the author argues that butchness is a discursive and performative practice in a sexist, heterosexist culture that engages female-bodied people, in particular lesbians, in the expression of ableness. The author uses the notions of dresses and boats as metaphors for requisite femininity and ableness, respectively, and argues that butchness is used as a resource to respond—personally and theoretically—to a culture that sees the female body as less competent than the male body. This article suggests that theories of gender and sexuality must be more attentive to practices of constructing self in everyday life and that they must give greater consideration to how individuals present themselves to various audiences.

even more fragile in this time of crisis as new antiterrorist laws are being passed that make it easier to undermine those basic civil liberties that protect individuals against invasive and potentially repressive government actions. As a result of the horrific events of September 11, civic engagement has reappeared in calls for unity and patriotism and in countless displays of compassion. But there is a dark side to this newfound call for unity. Notions of community are now organized not only around flag-waving displays of patriotism but also around collective fears and an ongoing militarization of visual culture and public space. Notions of democracy increasingly appear to be giving way to the discourse of revenge, domestic security, and war. The political reality that is beginning to emerge from this shattering crisis increasingly points to a set of narrow choices that are being largely set by the jingoistic right wing and fueled by the dominant media.

William F. Pinar
In this study of the gender of racial politics and violence in the United States, the author identifies a mangled and repressed homoeroticism lacing White men's hatred of Blacks. He has chosen lynching and prison rape to make explicit the homoeroticism that laces race relations and structures to the gender of racial politics and violence in this country. Despite the radical discontinuities between various historical periods from the antebellum and post-Reconstruction South to post-1960s urban prisons, there are certain nightmarish continuities or historical "throughlines" in American racial politics and violence, throughlines that express the historical and structural crisis of masculinity in the United States.

This article aims to enhance a dialogue between new ethnographic writing on experience and political economic analysis. It examines the ways in which recent experimental ethnographies and Manuel Castells's work on information society understand the double-sided, always caring and violent nature of connections. New ethnographies have developed innovative ways of studying and writing that convey how experiences and symbols unite and separate us. Castells's work is a brilliant treatise on the complex ways in which global economy, technology, and politics pull us together and draw us apart. Castells's work on the global could expand new ethnography's focus on the intricacies of intersubjective understanding, whereas new ethnography could enable realist political economy to critically reflect on the constitutive nature of the terms it uses to divide groups of people into proactive or connected and reactive or unconnected. Together the two approaches help us to understand how experiences, language, economy, and politics join and divide us, pointing toward ways of forging scholarly and political alliances sensitive to commonalities and schisms.

The world changed on September 11, 2001. The attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., produced a horror, to quote New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, that is more than the mind can bear. Confused, angry, depressed, full of grief, not knowing how to act, Americans watched their television screens and read their newspapers, seeking direction from those who would bring meaning to this event. This moment requires critically informed responses from the academy. Such responses will help people recover meaning in the face of this senseless, brutal violence; a violence that continues to produce voiceless screams of terror and insanity; a violence and a horror punctuated by stories certain to become part of urban folklore. A young child awakens her mother, &dquo;Mommy can we use the cellphone to call Daddy in heaven?&dquo; (Tierney, 2001, p. A24). In response to the events following September 11, I asked a number of leading cultural studies scholars associated with Cultural Studies H Critical Methodologies to comment on this moment and cultural studies’ place within it. They were given less than a week to prepare their remarks. Their powerful and moving interpretations follow in the next section.
2001年9月11日，世界发生了变化。对纽约世贸中心和华盛顿五角大楼的袭击，产生了一种恐怖，用纽约市市长鲁道夫·w·朱利安尼(Rudolph W. Giuliani)的话来说，这超出了人们的思维所能承受的范围。美国人困惑、愤怒、沮丧、悲伤，不知道如何行动，他们看着电视屏幕，读着报纸，向那些能给这一事件带来意义的人寻求指导。这一时刻需要学术界做出审慎的回应。这样的回应将帮助人们在面对这种毫无意义的残酷暴力时恢复意义;一种暴力，继续产生无声的恐怖和疯狂的尖叫;充满暴力和恐怖的故事肯定会成为城市民间传说的一部分。一个小孩叫醒了她的妈妈:“妈妈，我们可以用手机给天上的爸爸打电话吗?”(Tierney, 2001, p. A24)。作为对911事件的回应，我请了一些与文化研究和批判方法论相关的主要文化研究学者对这一时刻和文化研究在其中的地位发表评论。他们只有不到一周的时间来准备发言。下一节将介绍他们有力而感人的诠释。

Henry A. Giroux
Questions of agency and hope are inseparable from questions of politics and social struggle. As the vast majority of citizens become detached from public forums that nourish social critique, agency not only becomes a mockery of itself, it is replaced by market-based choices in which private satisfactions replace social responsibilities and biographic solutions become a substitute for systemic change. As the worldly space of criticism is undercut by the absence of public spheres that encourage the exchange of information, opinion, and criticism, the horizons of a substantive democracy disappear against the growing isolation and depoliticization that marks the loss of a politically guaranteed public realm in which autonomy, political participation, and engaged citizenship make their appearance. Drawing on the work of Cornelius Castoriadis, the author attempts to address the current crisis of meaning, political agency, and pedagogy and develop a cultural politics that links the notion of educated hope to the promise of a radical democracy.
