[Commlist] new special issue of Cultural Politics

Ryan Bishop is pleased to share “Joyful Subjects: Power and Empowerment 
in the Age of the Consumer” the newest issue of Cultural 
Politics (18:1), edited by MehitaIqani.

The contributors to this special issue explore joy and happiness as 
political issues deserving of critical analysis, arguing that joy is 
always related to power and empowerment, and that the presence or 
absence of joy is mediated by race, gender, and other identity 
categories. The notion of joy is upswelling in popular culture—even amid 
the trauma and pain experienced by individuals and communities due to 
pervasive inequity built over hundreds of years of racist, sexist, 
ableist, and trans- or fat-phobic mistreatment, there is joy in the 
small moments of ordinary life as well as the grand gestures of resistance.

Contributors to this issue are Fernanda Carrera, Rosalind Gill, 
MehitaIqani, Ace Lehner, Shani Orgad, Beatriz Polivanov, Srila Roy, and 
Stella Viljoen.
