A timely intervention, analysing the metaphor and coloniality of the possessive paradigm of rights. A Wynterian reading of Lugones' critique of purity, the paper challenges claims of a zero sum clash between trans women's and cis women's rights, proposing enmeshed rights as an alternative. #PhilSky

My new article addresses the claim that the rights of trans women 'clash' with the rights of cis women. I examine the coloniality of the concept of rights underpinning this idea, exploring the erotics of sacrificial feminism and zero-sum politics in general... 🧵 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Thank you to Tim Huzar and everyone who contributed to yesterday's Critical Intersections Symposium at KCL, it was brilliant! Next to me here is Luqma Onikosi, whose fascinating paper explored the concept of "African Philosophy" and called for its recontextualisation within "Pluriversal Epistemes".

New book, available for free for its first 2 weeks! Thomson is an incredibly clear #Heidegger commentator, esp. on #technology, onto-theology, and the History of Being. He's critical and thinks the "unthought", offering a "heterodox, left-Heideggerian postmodernism" www.cambridge.org/core/element...

Some cool new art/sculptures along the Black Rock boardwalk in Brighton: "Black Rock Beachcombers" by Anna Dumitriu and Alex May. 3d-printed collages, this one's kind of like how I imagine The Borrowers would build bird houses 🔨🐤 blackrockbeachcombers.co.uk

"Putting the cat among the pigeons" in Queens Park, Brighton

Really excited to be presenting at this conference, but more so for the amazing program of talks. Wendy Brown, Paul Gilroy, Eva Von Redecker, Robyn Marasco and more, all talking on #Democracy in Nihilistic Times. I hope to see you in #Brighton in March & April! blogs.brighton.ac.uk/cappe/2025/0...

In a 1923 lecture, #Heidegger paused momentarily, asking "Problem: What is woman?" He then very quickly and casually returned to the history of "the concept of man" 🤔 So much for the question of Being... www.google.co.uk/books/editio...

There are so many reasons to question Heidegger's selective, speculative, and problematical "histories" of Being and philosophy. The 1923 claim that "the history of the interpretation" of Genesis 1.26 "begins with Paul, 1 Cor. 11:7" is *wild*, and only the latest of such claims I've discovered.

So, a mouse got into the house... 2 things I've learned about mice: 1) They love mixed nuts, and will chew through several bags to reach them; 2) They're anti-EU apparently? #BrexitMice

More from the back garden foxes... Now 1 year old and confused at seeing snow for the first time.

Looks like this has now come out, and is on its way to Brighton Uni library. I don't think there's been a collection quite like this before, and the last comparable one dates to 2001 (but please let me know any more recent suggestions!) Looking forward to this arriving! rowman.com/ISBN/9781538...
