disidentifications
check out what's on my desktop these days. i'd like to applaud my employer for allowing me to show such frivolity on an office laptop.
and thank you, rHEio, for the sweet sweet gift! disidentifications: queers of color and the performance of politics, by josé esteban muñoz. quick review:
"Demonstrating a thoughtful and acutely pushy intellect, Muñoz topsposted June 08, 2000 in delivery, politics, print(editor's note: heh. she said 'tops')
a new generation of identity theorists. Disidentifications beautifully describes transformative performances of sexuality and race in ways that reverberate dramatically, further transforming the conditions of possibility for those who encounter the text, its world of pleasures, images, and analyses. The sheer value of this archive of Queer world-making acts cannot be underestimated: as citation keeps the films, performances, and texts open and animating, queer commentary like this sustains resistance to and optimism against the forces of exhaustion."
