As much as it is neces\u00adsa\u00adry to assert poli\u00adti\u00adcal demands through recourse to iden\u00adti\u00adty cate\u00adgo\u00adries, and to lay claim to the power to name one\u00adself and deter\u00admine the condi\u00adtions under which that name is used, it is also impos\u00adsible to sus\u00adtain that kind of mas\u00adte\u00adry over the tra\u00adjec\u00adto\u00adry of those cate\u00adgo\u00adries within dis\u00adcourse. This is not an argu\u00adment against using iden\u00adti\u00adty cate\u00adgo\u00adries, but it is a remin\u00adder of the risk that attends eve\u00adry such use. The expec\u00adta\u00adtion of self-deter\u00admi\u00adna\u00adtion that self-naming arouses is para\u00addoxi\u00adcal\u00adly contes\u00adted by the his\u00adto\u00adri\u00adci\u00adty of the name itself : by the his\u00adto\u00adry of the usages that one never control\u00adled, but that constrain the very usage that now emble\u00adma\u00adtizes auto\u00adno\u00admy ; by the future efforts to deploy the term against the grain of the cur\u00adrent ones, and that will exceed the control of those who seek to set the course of the terms in the present.<\/p>\n
If the term \u201cqueer\u201d is to be a site of col\u00adlec\u00adtive contes\u00adta\u00adtion, the point of depar\u00adture for a set of his\u00adto\u00adri\u00adcal reflec\u00adtions and futu\u00adral ima\u00adgi\u00adnings, it will have to remain that which is, in the present, never ful\u00adly owned, but always and only rede\u00adployed, twis\u00adted, quee\u00adred from a prior usage and in the direc\u00adtion of urgent and expan\u00adding poli\u00adti\u00adcal pur\u00adposes. This also means that it will doubt\u00adless have to be yiel\u00added in favor of terms that do that poli\u00adti\u00adcal work more effec\u00adti\u00adve\u00adly. Such a yiel\u00adding may well become neces\u00adsa\u00adry in order to accommodate\u2014without domesticating\u2014democratizing contes\u00adta\u00adtions that have and will redraw the contours of the move\u00adment in ways that can never be ful\u00adly anti\u00adci\u00adpa\u00adted in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
