Homonationalist Futurism: "Terrorism" And (Other) Queer Resistance To Empire, C. Heike Schotten
Homonationalist Futurism: "Terrorism" And (Other) Queer Resistance To Empire, C. Heike Schotten
C. Heike Schotten
This article argues that queer theory is useful for political theory in thinking about US empire and theorizing modes of resistance to it. In particular, it is argued that the work of Lee Edelman and Jasbir Puar can be appropriated for political theory and, when combined together into a single political project, help illuminate the temporal and sexual contours of US empire, providing crucial resources for theorizing “terrorism” and understanding it as an act of political resistance.
