It takes a journey from Sigmund Freud to Mario Mieli and Guy Hocquenghem, from Michel Foucault and Judith Butler to Teresa de Lauretis, Leo Bersani, Lee Edelman, and Tim Dean, and from all of these thinkers back to Immanuel Kant and Thomas Hobbes. At the end, through readings of Bruce LaBruce’s movies on gay zombies, the elitism of antisocial queer theory is brought into contact with popular culture. The living dead come to represent a dispossessed form of subjectivity, whose monstrous drives are counterposed to predatory desires of liberal individuals. The reader is thus lead into the interstitial spaces of the Queer Apocalypses, where the past and the future collapse onto the present, and sexual minorities resurrect to the chance of a non-heroic political agency. .Political scienceCommunication in politicsPolitical sciencePhilosophySexCultureStudy and teachingPolitical TheoryPolitical CommunicationPolitical PhilosophyGender StudiesCultural TheoryPolitical science.Communication in politics.Political sciencePhilosophy.Sex.CultureStudy and teaching.Political Theory.Political Communication.Political Philosophy.Gender Studies.Cultural Theory.320.01Bernini Lorenzoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut475204BOOK9910155305303321Queer Apocalypses2129334UNINA
