Thanks David, for the paper and the link to the online library which is now in my favourites list! Merry Xmas to all Jacx Date: Sun, 19 Dec 2010 15:42:19 +0000 From: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: "Gay Testing" To: [log in to unmask] Hi Jacqui, Reading your post and especially your remark about "going backwards at times instead of forwards" I could not help thinking of Judith Butler's superb and accessible paper "Sexual politics, torture, and secular time" which you can access if you wish at: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-4446.2007.00176.x/full Professor Butler's paper raises some fascinating questions about how what is fought for in order to bring about progressive change sometimes functions in reactionary ways. David From: jacqui lovell <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Sat, 18 December, 2010 21:51:18 Subject: "Gay Testing" It seems like we are going backwards at times instead of forwards! Jacx Czech response to criticism of bizarre test of gay asylum seekers "not good enough" The Czech Republic has been criticised over their response to international outrage at their use of a so-called 'gay test' on gay asylum seekers. Called 'phallometric testing', gay men - and according to De Spiegel at least one lesbian - are shown pornography and a machine is used to supposedly 'prove' whether of not they are gay.
