Bad brains: NIMH v. DSM
I was initially buoyed by the news that the National Institute of Mental Health is moving its research away from DSM diagnostic categories. The DSM’s exhaustive, incriminating taxonomy of nonnormative human behavior has first and foremost been used to marginalize and institutionalize whole categories of people; moreover, many of its diagnostic categories are so vague and descriptive of...

Sometimes I think OH BOY, GET READY FOR SOME NEW RACIST MEMES! I look at these media reports through the lens of my own whiteness—or rather—the racist white folks who find humor in stereotypes of black people. And when someone in real life, in the spotlight, matches the stereotype of…

Images of Kept Women by Kate Durbin →

Yet its twelve pages draw on all of the above discourses––tourism, advertising, archaeology, reality TV, anthropology––to reveal, and flaunt, what they share: a...

Megan pointed me to Seth’s post on Montevidayo from 2011, entitled “The Right To Be A Monster: Boys, Girls, and the Stay Puft Marshamallow Man”. Although it’s a couple of years later, and perhaps I’m late to the game, I think it’s worth continuing the conversation and seeing where we can go with…
