> This paper charts the significance of Emma Goldman's revolutionary
> thought for a contemporary analysis of sexuality, gender and revolt.
> Throughout her life (1869-1940) and work Goldman centred sexuality as
> both key to how capitalism functions (particularly for women) and as a
> privileged site for political transformation. Connecting sexuality to
> labour, Goldman's analyses of reproduction, prostitution,
> homosexuality and free love provide a helpful challenge to
> contemporary feminist investments in materialist and cultural analyses
> as opposed, and open up the possibility of an alternative feminist
> history with sexual materialism at its heart. But in claiming
> Goldman's thinking for a post-Marxist queer and feminist politics,
> what do we need to ignore in her thought? What does serious
> consideration of the sexual (but not gendered) essentialism that
> grounds Goldman's thought do to a contemporary vision of feminist
> transformation? Drawing on primary materials and a creative re-reading
> of archival fragments, I suggest that Goldman's sexual politics allows
> for a reinvigorated feminist method (as well as politics) with a real
> connection to others at its heart.
