Ozploitation Film Series Presents: Razorback
There's something about blasting the shit out of a razorback that brightens up my whole day. As one would expect from a film about a car-sized boar rampaging through the outback with a bloodlust for humans, Razorback is equal parts style, surface, and absurdity. Accordingly, plot summaries fail to do justice to the sheer bloody […]

Comparative Empires: Feminist Meditations
Histories of empire have been tethered over-determinedly to singular histories of nation-states, temporalities and/or geopolitics. Rather than locate empire as a stable or temporal concept, the colloquium attends to the imaginative possibilities offered by a turn to a more comparative relationship to empire within a south-south framework. To do so, we turn to two clusters of […]

Linguistic Colloquium: Heidi Harley
Heidi Harley, University of Arizona "Suppressing Subject Arguments in Hiaki" The Hiaki passive suffix -wa appears in a very normal-looking personal passive, and also in an odd impersonal passive—odd in that it is productive with unaccusative as well as unergative intransitive predicates, provided they have a argument. It appears that -wa can even make a personal passive out of a raising […]
