The LGBT agenda for too long has been dominated by pragmatic issues like same-sex marriage and gays in the military. It has been stifled by this myopic focus on the present, which is short-sighted and assimilationist. "Cruising Utopia" seeks to break the present stagnancy by cruising ahead. Drawing on the work of Ernest Bloch, Jose Esteban Munoz recalls the queer past for guidance in presaging its future. 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, Munoz contends that queerness is instead a futurity bound phenomenon, a 'not yet here' that critically engages pragmatic presentism. Part manifesto, part love-letter to the past and the future, "Cruising Utopia" argues that the here and now are not enough and issues an urgent call for the revivification of the queer political imagination.

对于queerness as a "not-yet-conscious"的理解非常有意思，intro很难理解但正文还好。
评分重口味文艺范的学术作品，本学期最佳阅读体验。发展了Halberstam的queer art of failure，通过乌托邦创造出超越当下的temporality和spatiality。这种乌托邦区别于白日梦，因为他寓于历史上的酷儿集体斗争和当下的酷儿生活潜能——这也决定了此乌托邦非normalize的乌托邦。打脸庸俗化的酷儿运动，马克思主义立场较Halberstam鲜明。又，上百个男人在公路边嘿咻的描述也是蛮带感，是的，我们“perverted”，但我们不是“isolated”噢！
评分为了这学期post-AIDS重读。关于AIDS之后unprotected sex中的death impulse的论述非常有趣。AIDS的出现打破了关于”未来“的一切美好幻想，正如Lee Edelman所说，“NO FUTURE"
