[Essay] Enfranchisement and Equality: Feminism, Politics and Religion in the Middle East — Tim Harvey

“The main cultural obstacle for feminist movements in the Middle East is the reproduction, on a national level, of the traditional patriarchal family model, which sees men as active and women as passive members of the nation.”

[Essay] British India: Empire, Ideology & Race — Joseph Barker

“Simply by offering political and social benefits to particular classifications of race, the British were able to create competition between Indian groups where none existed prior to colonial rule.”

[Essay] Robert Redford in The Candidate: the Politics of Image and the Image of Politics — Jacob Bernard-Banton

“McKay trades on authenticity, but his campaign is like any other: laboured over with painstaking precision, a machine.”

[Essay] Nationalism and the National Poet: Shakespeare, Lacan, and the Aphanisis of England — Josh Mcloughlin

“The history plays demonstrate Lacanian aphanisis on a national scale, disclosing the fundamental instability of all nationalisms and exposing the aporia at the heart of Englishness.”
