No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive
Artist/Author: Lee Edelman | Reference: P3565 | ISBN: 978-0822333692 | Type: Publication
Argues that the child, understood as innocence in need of protection, represents the possibility of the future against which the queer is positioned as the embodiment of a relentlessly narcissistic, antisocial, and future-negating drive. Boldly insists that the efficacy of queerness lies in its very willingness to embrace this refusal of the social and political order.
