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.

。。。。每次寫discussion就想拋幾句上去
评分對於queerness as a "not-yet-conscious"的理解非常有意思,intro很難理解但正文還好。
评分可惜作者去世瞭
评分為瞭這學期post-AIDS重讀。關於AIDS之後unprotected sex中的death impulse的論述非常有趣。AIDS的齣現打破瞭關於”未來“的一切美好幻想,正如Lee Edelman所說,“NO FUTURE"
评分第六章看哭。其實還是有很多疑慮,但是閱讀體驗本身真的不是蓋的!再加上看到作者去世瞭...聯係到書裏不少的小自傳,突然之間覺得我們或者也在ecstasy的瞬間刺破瞭時間和空間、已經凝固的、此時此地的和將來未來的薄膜,在不同、但注定相似的烏托邦裏遇見過呢。是非常親切、動感和流暢的寫作瞭!(同樣都是punk,Edelman果然和那個queer theory心理測試所說,是個每天聽the cure的post暗黑小子
