José Esteban Muñoz (1967–2013)

sort of exhausting

While I realize the value of this book as a marker and archive of queer being and action, it was challenging to grasp a complete understanding of disidentification. Like other reviewers I found the definition or term to be nebulous, nonetheless, the examples were clear and understandable in themselves of the hybrid nature of queerness.

Just exquisite. Muñoz is doing amazing things here, carving out space for considering utopia in different ways. He speaks back to Edelman and Bersani in important and I think constructive ways, and his analysis of different artists and performers just sweeps me up and away into those utopic spaces. Incredible stuff.
