From Publishers Weekly Gay liberation's activist past and pragmatic present are merely prologue to a queer cultural future, Muñoz (Disidentifications) suggests in this critical condemnation of the political status quo. Casting his vision of a radical gay aesthetic through the prisms of literature, photography and performance, the author dismisses commonplace concerns like same-sex marriage as desires for mere inclusion in a corrupt mainstream. Queer theorists will find the book's provocative thesis stimulating; lay readers unfamiliar with Ernst Bloch and the Frankfurt School of philosophy on which the author builds his argument may find
Drawing on the work of Ernst Bloch, José Esteban Muñoz recalls the queer past for guidance in presaging its future. The LGBT agenda for too long has been dominated by pragmatic issues like same-sex marriage and gays in the military. He considers the work of seminal artists and writers such as Andy Warhol, LeRoi Jones, Frank O’Hara, Ray Johnson, Fred Herko, Samuel Delany, and Elizabeth Bishop, alongside contemporary performance and visual artists like Dynasty Handbag, My Barbarian, Luke Dowd, Tony Just, and Kevin McCarty in order to decipher the anticipatory illumination of art and its uncanny ability to open windows to the future.In a startling repudiation of what the LGBT movement has held dear, Muñoz contends that queerness is instead a futurity bound phenomenon, a "not yet here" that critically engages pragmatic presentism. It has been stifled by this myopic focus on the present, which is short-sighted and assimilationist.Cruising Utopia seeks to break the pI actually worked on three of the remodels in this book.Nicely done and gives you a great feel for the area. Abundant helpful photos, and the best "bird's eye" views of the rooms. While there may be some characterizations of Jung that I am not in accord with, these are relatively few and did little to change my opinion of the book as a whole. And I personally know of person who cleared the 1st level of SNIA using this book.I really dont understand why everyone is harping about how is it written as long as it makes me understand the SAN technology:-). I think most people would agree that men and women think differently and therefore solve problems in different ways. The idea here is that his rejection of other scientists' ideas about quantum physics isolated him intellectually from the work of some of the world's greatest physicists and that if he had opened his mind to it, his own ideas probably would have advanced in new and important ways. Jung believed that this could be done by "connecting" the individual to humanity (by way of the collective unconscious) and, in this way, show them two essential facts: 1)that they were not alone in their suffering 2) that there is a clear sense of "destiny" for their life. RECOMMEND IT. If, however, you have an open mind and wish to truly learn about his greatness, as well as his faults and personal psychological issues, then it is my opinion that you should read tJosé Esteban Muñoz was Professor and past Chair of Performance Studies at New York University. He is the author of Disidentifications: Queers of Color and the Performance of Politics and co-editor of Pop Out: Culture and Dance in Latin/o America and Everynight Life: Queer Warhol.
