Coming up Roses
2022
Discussing two short stories by contemporary Scottish author Ali Smith, my article recommends a close reading of short prose narratives as potential examples of ungendered character-narration.

Instead, a queer reading of Smith’s “erosive” (2003) and “The beholder” (2015) delights in their ambiguity, waywardness, and narrative inventiveness. The texts can be approached as exercises in unknowing.

Since norm violations may induce disgust, these terms may be considered as engaging with disgust. Yet the aims and outcomes of the engagement that they describe seem different. Via a case study of the irritating, disgust inducing performances of the South African rap rave trio Die Antwoord, I show how these terms provide d…
Biologinen sukupuoli
2020
Biologinen sukupuoli on luonnostaan monitahoinen ilmiö. Epämääräinen kielenkäyttö tekee siitä kuitenkin tarpeettoman hämärän. Epämääräisyys voi sataa tiedevastaisten laariin ja syödä osaltaan tieteen arvostusta kansan keskuudessa. Sukupuoli on suvullisen lisääntymisen ja siten myös biologian perusyksikkö. Viime vuosina sukupuolen käsite on yhteiskunnallistunut keskusteluissa sukupuolivähemmistöjen oikeuksista. Keskustelu paljasti, että sukupuoli tarvitsee yleistajuista biologista jäsennystä. nonPeerReviewed
