BENVENUTA/O/*, questa dovrebbe essere la mia pagina utente, ma oggi -martedì 30 aprile 2024, alle 21:46- non lo è.
Per facilitare il lavoro durissimo che stanno facendo investigatori ed investigatrici questo è il link per leggere tutte le modifiche che ho fatto (dalle voci create a qualsiasi virgola) dal dicembre 2006 ad oggi (cliccare su "questo è il link"). Nota bene: è meglio leggere per intero gli interventi: altrimenti si rischia che -estrapolando parti qua e là- si possono perdere elementi importanti nella costruzione dell'accusa. Di voci ne ho fatte un pò di più di quelle scritte nei cassetti, ma niente di cui vantarmi -purtroppo poco più che stub molte volte. Buona lettura e spero che non rimarrete troppo delus* se (e solo se) scoprirete che babbo natale non esiste. Mi dispiace.
«Whatever the truth of these fears, Eve Sedgwick is right, in my view, to say that no specific form of explanation for the origins of sexual preference will be proof against the infinitely varied strategies of homophobia (Sedgwick 1990, esp. 22–63). That sexual orientation takes on a metaphysical life of its own, for example, elides the fact that it is generally sexual behavior—not an abstract “identity”—that is the object of moral disapprobation. Queer politics, then, works to trouble the categories “gay” and “lesbian,” as well as “heterosexual” (or indeed other categories of social thought in general), and eschews a genetic quest for the origins of homosexuality. In addition to historicizing and contextualizing sexuality, including the very idea of sexual identity, the shift to queer is also characterized by deconstructive methods. Rather than understanding sexual identities as a set of discrete and independent social types, queer theorists adduce evidence and read to emphasize their mutual implication: for example, such thinkers love to point out that the word “homosexuality” first appears in English in 1897, but the term “heterosexuality” is back-formed, first used some years later (Garber 1995, 39–42). Heterosexuality comes into existence as a way of understanding the nature of individuals after the homosexual has been diagnosed; homosexuality requires heterosexuality as its opposite, despite its self-professed stand-alone essence. Queer theorists point out that the homo/hetero dichotomy, like many others in western intellectual history that it arguably draws on and reinforces, is not only mutually implicated, but also hierarchical (heterosexuality is superior, normal, and originary, while homosexuality is inferior, deviant, and derivative) and masquerades as natural or descriptive. The task of a more radical “identity politics,” on this vision, is to constantly denaturalize and deconstruct the identities in question, with a political goal of their subversion rather than their accommodation.» Identity Politics (5. From Gay and Lesbian to Queer), First published Tue Jul 16, 2002; substantive revision Tue Feb 7, 2012.
