Anne Fausto-Sterling s suggestion that the prevalence of intersex might be as high as 1.7% has attracted wide attention in both the scholarly press and the popular media. Many reviewers are not aware that this figure includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex, such as Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and late-onset adrenal hyperplasia. If the term intersex is to retain any meaning, the term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female. Applying this more precise definition, the true prevalence of intersex is seen to be about 0.018%, almost 100 times lower than Fausto-Sterling s estimate of 1.7%.

The British film scholar Laura Mulvey’s essay ‘Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema’ (1975) provides an enticing mixture of political manifesto, hard-boiled theoretical argumentation and empirical film analysis. It depicts how classical Hollywood cinema reaffirms gendered power structures by incorporating the cinema audience into what Mulvey refers to as ‘the male gaze’. Drawing on psychoanalytical theory, Mulvey highlights how the spectator – through the positioning of the film camera, the editing and the way in which the narrative is constructed – is drawn into what she sees as a ‘male’ viewing position. This perspective remains influential in much of the public conversation about film and media and has inspired many feminist analyses of media and popular culture.

This paper argues that the relation between marxism and feminism has, in all the forms it has so far taken, been an unequal one. While both marxist method and feminist analysis are necessary to an understanding of capitalist societies, and of the position of women within them, in fact feminism has consistently been subordinated. The paper presents a challenge to both marxist and radical feminist work on the “woman question”, and argues that what it is necessary to analyse is the combination of patriarchy and capitalism. It is a paper which, we hope, should stimulate considerable debate.

Although queer studies has the potential to transform the way scholars theorize sexuality in conjunction with other identity formations, the paucity of attention given to race and class in queer studies represents a significant theoretical gap. Most current formulations of queer theory either ignore the categories of race and class altogether or theorize their effects in discursive rather than material terms. To suture that gap, this essay proposes "quare" studies as a vernacular rearticulation and deployment of queer theory to accommodate racialized sexual knowledge.
