Knocking Walls Down:Queer Architecture and Creative Cities

Based on bibliographic research,the article analyzes how queer architecture challenged gentrification,real estate speculation,and segregation of minorities in creative cities.The results show that the architecture of queer spaces can be understood as a practice of gender and sexual resistance and biopolitical disobedience,as the capitalist architecture worked as a biopolitical technology for producing gender and sexuality and shaping political and sexual identities through techniques of surveillance and the construction of the public/private divide for controlling gender and sexual reproduction.

Blinding Lights: the Creative Queer Geography of Daniel Nolasco’s Dry Wind

The aim of this paper is to examine the creative queer geography of Daniel Nolasco’s movie Dry Wind.The main argument indicates that,instead of representing countryside cities exclusively as places of repression and denial,the movie shows part of the countryside gay culture.The realism of the fertilizer factory and the aridity of the city of Catalão are opposed to the extreme stylization of vibrant colors and blinding neon lights of the main character’s fetishist imagination,which indicates how he increasingly surrenders to his desires.Beyond the pornographic representation of homoerotic desire,Dry Wind also proposes alternatives for affective expressions of masculinities that do not conform to the prevailing moral standards.

Fighting Against Heterosexual Hegemony:Queerness in Nightwood

Djuna Barnes, an American writer, is most associated with the development of English modernist writing of the twentieth century. Barnes's reputation as a writer was made when her second novel Nightwood was published in 1936 with an enthusiastic introduction by T.S. Eliot. Grounded mainly on queer theory, this paper analyzes Nightwood with its focus on the breakdown of the only two heterosexual marriages of the novel and intends to demonstrate that one of many aspects of the novel reflect the very core of queer theory.

Intruders:Gay Explicit Sex in Queer Movies

The aim is to analyze the use of sexually explicit material in queer movies,particularly in the short film“Intruders”.The movie takes place amid political upheaval in Brazil and brings an intersection among class,privilege and sex.The main argument indicates that many queer movies face the ongoing political normalization of same-sex desires in the society and bring alternative forms of relationality,which may be framed by the location where they develop and characterized by the fluidity of the relationships among the characters.The explicit sex aims to examine alternative forms of relationality,which question the normalization of specific actions and sexual behaviors.Based on a different perspective from the traditional pornography,“Intruders”understands sex as a political act,so that it is neither the consumption of bodies,nor the pursuit of desire at any cost,but the construction of new possibilities of relationships.

逻辑决定论的蹊跷性

逻辑决定论是宿命论的两种形式之一,其表述形式可以区分为激进版本(包含模态词“必然”)和温和版本(包含时间概念“总是”)。既有对逻辑决定论的解决方式大致可方便地区分为语义学和逻辑学两类方案,这些方案都或多或少会导致其他困难。进一步的分析表明,一个基于激进版本的推论会导致矛盾的模态关系,从而导致激进版本被排除。而在温和版本中,“总是”存在着物理的和非物理的理解,真值作为非物理对象一旦被给予具体的时间属性,就会导致麦基式的蹊跷性(queerness),由此构造的命题表达式将全部是假的。因此,逻辑决定论不成立。

Zoology, Celibacy, and the Heterosexual Imperative： Notes on Teaching Lu Xun＇s ＂Loner＂ as a Queer Text

This essay reflects on the reception of Lu Xun＇s short story ＂The Loner＂ （Gudu zhe, alternately translated as ＂The Lone Wolf, The Misanthrope,＂ and ＂The Isolate＂） in American classrooms, where students have sometimes wondered whether that character might be read as ＂queer.＂ It suggests that the title character＇s unusual and self-imposed celibacy is probably best explained by his belief, in a very general sense, in the foundational values of zoology as practiced in Japan and China in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and thus that the story may be a better gateway to understanding the ways in which Lu Xun envisioned the mixed impact of new political economies on private life than a source text for queer studies. At the same time, however, this essay emphasizes that in ＂The Loner,＂ as elsewhere, accounting for the ＂heterosexual imperative＂ of early zoology （e.g., with its emphases on animal husbandry, propagation, reproduction） can have meaningful consequences for ＂queering＂ interpretations of received texts from literature, history of science, and beyond.

走出“性中心主义”——塞吉维克的酷儿操演研究

20世纪以来,精神分析在为女性主义提供丰富话语资源的同时,也对女性主义形成了一种话语桎梏。这突出表现在女性主义的“性中心主义”倾向上。酷儿理论虽然在打破异性恋霸权、丰富对边缘群体的差异性研究等方面发展了女性主义,但“性中心主义”的问题在酷儿理论中依然存在。这种“性中心主义”倾向至少有两种表征:第一是在语言或理论框架上将“性”作为理解主体的核心,第二则是对“性压抑假说”以及相应的“颠覆”“揭露”“祛魅”的反压抑策略的迷恋。在对“理论”的反思过程中,酷儿理论家塞吉维克以汤姆金斯的情动理论和克莱茵的客体关系心理学为话语资源,修改了巴特勒的“性别操演”,提出了自己的“酷儿操演”。“酷儿操演”以情动的主体模式为理论基础,以修复为基本的理论取向,以羞耻的情动经历为主要内容。塞吉维克的“酷儿操演”不仅在“性中心主义”之外,找到了另一条将主体丰富的个人经历和情感体验概念化的路径,也提供了“后理论”视野下一种更具生产性的理论范式。
