Items Forthcoming:
1. Book Manuscripts:
1997. Blood and Nation: The European Aesthetics of Race.
Under Contract: University of Pennsylvania Press (8/1/97). Annotation:
In this work, I investigate European concepts of female reproductive
bodies, as articulated through blood metaphor, and their connection
to German racial ideologies and German cultural constructions
of difference.
Consuming Fantasies. Contract Offer: University of California
Press. Annotation: In this manuscript, I take the motif
of ingestion (and food generally) as it appears in the traditional
anthropological literature on cannibalism and apply it to the
critical analysis of the dialectics of power in 20th-century
America. I draw out the gendered basis of power relationships
and show how ingestion, with its implications of sexual inequality,
becomes a key metaphor of political subordination at many levels.
