摘要

摘要：本文以威廉·S·巴勒斯的小说《狂野男孩：死亡之书》作为理解当代儿童结构的机制。这篇文章将巴勒斯的小说与李·艾德尔曼的《没有未来：酷儿理论与死亡驱动》进行了对话，探讨了巴勒斯对孩子的概念（如《狂野男孩》中所建议的）如何为埃德尔曼的《孩子》提供了一个挑衅性的强大替代品，后者永远坚持“生殖未来”，它使恐同的现状得以延续。还有一些关于真实孩子的东西，生活在街头或其他地方。

Street Families and Wild Boys: A Collage for William S. Burroughs

Abstract:This article uses William S. Burroughs’s novel The Wild Boys: A Book of the Dead as a mechanism for understanding contemporary constructions of the child. Placing Burroughs’s novel in conversation with Lee Edelman’s No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive, the article explores how Burroughs’s conception of the child (as suggested in The Wild Boys) offers a provocatively powerful alternative to Edelman’s “Child,” the latter lashed forever to “reproductive futurity” whereas the former radically resists it and the conservative, homophobic status quo it serves to perpetuate. There’s also some stuff about actual children, living on the streets or otherwise.
