Embedding Neoliberalism: Crisis, Sexuality and Social Reproduction
February 12, 2009 (3:30 pm - 5:00 pm)
Location: Smith Seminar Room, Physics Research Building 191 West Woodruff Avenue
The talk seeks to intervene in a vibrant and publicly prominent debate within development studies about the role of crisis in ‘postneoliberal,' or Post Washington Consensus policymaking. Gender and, especially, sexuality are largely absent from that debate. I ask: What do contemporary experiences of crisis reveal about the complex inter-connections between rupture and shock on one hand, and gender and sexuality on the other? In concrete crisis conditions, which common sense groundworks of the present (re Nikolas Rose) get unsettled, which get re-entrenched, and what is the role of the development industry in this process?
