Abstract

Abstract:

Is "queer now to be taken as delineating political rather than erotic tendencies?" Leo Bersani laments in Homos, his 1985 text that helped launch his reputation as the god father of queer theory's now famed anti-social thesis. For Mikko Tuhkanen, Bersani's critique of queer theory and its reverberations engender a crucial distinction: Bersani is forever "a queer thinker," not a "queer theorist." Reading with Tuhkanen's distinction, this essay explores Bersani's investment in queer thinking as a mode of anti-institutional critical practice in order to track the centrality of the conflict between the political and erotic in the past and present work of queer scholarship.

为什么同性恋者不能超凡脱俗？利奥-贝尔萨尼之后的同性恋思考

摘要: "现在，'同性恋'是否应被视为一种政治倾向，而非色情倾向？利奥-贝尔萨尼（Leo Bersani）在1985年出版的《同性恋》（Homos）一书中发出了这样的感叹。对于米科-图哈宁（Mikko Tuhkanen）来说，贝尔萨尼对同性恋理论的批判及其反响产生了至关重要的区别：贝尔萨尼永远是 "同性恋思想家"，而不是 "同性恋理论家"。本文从图哈宁的区分出发，探讨了贝尔萨尼对作为反体制批判实践模式的同性恋思想的投资，以追踪政治与情色之间的冲突在过去和现在的同性恋学术工作中的中心地位。
