Faced with the seemingly enormous difficulty of representing `others', many theorists working in Cultural Studies have been turning to themselves as a way of speaking about the personal. In Sexing the Self Elspeth Probyn tackles this question of the sex of the self, an issue of vital importance to feminists and yet neglected by feminist theory until now, to suggest that there are ways of using our gendered selves in order to speak and theorize non-essential but embodied selves. Arguing for `feminisms with attitude', Sexing the Self ranges across a wide range of theoretical strands, drawing up

This article canvasses a broad range of fish representations across several disciplines. It asks what cultural studies can learn from scientific representation of fish, and argues that in turn cultural studies can be a nuanced understanding of the work of images. The objective of the article is to open debate about fish and their sustainability beyond discrete disciplines and/or ideologies. This, it is argued, is crucial if we are to go beyond a simplified cultural politics of fish.

This article reframes fisheries sustainability as a matter of production and consumption. It argues that only a more-than-human approach that takes seriously the entanglement of all oceanic entities—fish, fishers, water—can tackle the sustainability of fish. In order to bring this to fruition, an affective oceanic habitus needs to be mobilized. Drawing on cultural references to the entanglement of humans and oceans, this article attempts to model what such affective habitus might entail.

This article reintroduces notions of the experiential, lived body as crucial for teaching. It critiques some recent moves within women's studies, and cultural studies more generally, to use 'theory' as a way of abstracting bodies from the classroom. Using the work of Silvan Tomkins on affects, and Deleuzian notions of the body, it argues for a more comprehensive account of the affects, politics and practices of pedagogy.

Cet article expose de façon schématique comment certains aspects de la pensée de Foucault dépassent les deux pôles qui ont défini la plupart des débats dans le champ des études gaies et lesbiennes à propos de la sexualité : Pessentia-lisme et le constructivisme social.

D'une perspective féministe et sociologique, le corps est élaboré comme une position d"enunciation dans la théorie sociologique. D'après le travail de Deleuze ainsi que les ultimes écrits de Foucault, on peut concevoir un usage dédoublé du corps et du soi. Ce dédoublement permet une théorie du corps comme étant plié dans des processus de subjectivation. De là on peut avancer une position d'énonciation sociologique et féministe qui articulera des pratiques de subjectivation comme des nouvelles formes d'intervention dans le social.
