The Case of Judge Kavanaugh (Ep39)
Empowerment Starts Here with Angela Dye (the host), in a solo episode (click here to listen).
Scroll down to access links and other resources mentioned in Episode 39- “The Case of Judge Kavanaugh.”
This case explores three themes extracted from Senate hearings around the Supreme Court vacancy and the allegations levied against Judge Kavanaugh: body and space; power-over; and the contested nature of the invisible. In this episode, the conversation is more academic (ish) than newsworthy. Whereas other programs have discussed Judge Kavanaugh in terms of upper-case P Politics (rule of law, advice and consent, and FBI investigations), this episode explores lower-case p (interpersonal politics relating to gender, race, emotions, structural power, latent power and psychological trauma).
Key Points Discussed:
- Brett Kavanaugh, Christine Blasey Ford, and Anita Hill as representations of different political bodies and the power they each hold
- Four levels of power: structural; cultural; interpersonal and intrapersonal
- Three contests for power: overt; covert; and latent
- Fun- Chris Brown and Pitbull’s treatment of the body as presented in “Fun”
- Gender and race in terms of affect, the body and space
- Power over and the loss of structural power
- Men’s Rights Movement
