Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT This article deconstructs the influence of Giorgio Agamben in José Esteban Muñoz’s Cruising Utopia in order to demonstrate the failure of Agamben’s paradigm of (im)potentiality to properly account for the strategies of Muñoz’s queer anarchist (non)politics of disidentification. The work of the undertheorized gay Heideggerian thinker Reiner Schürmann is drawn out to supplement a queer (non)politics latent in both Schürmann and Muñoz. Focusing on the Derridean influences, a constitutive autoimmunity of queer temporality is developed as a means of prefiguring the queer utopia to-come through praxis as pure means. The article closes with Muñoz-inspired reading of the lesbian Blood Sisters, who during the height of the AIDS crisis embodied the queer anarchist praxis identified in Munoz’s Cruising Utopia and Disidentifications. Taken together, the article concludes, politics becomes unassimilable to the queer subject, who is always in excess of signification and actuality.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
