- Title
Eternal Excesses: Toward a Queer Mode of Articulation in Social Theory.
- Authors
Erni, John Nguyet
- Abstract
The article states that reflecting on queer politics and the emotional energy of those who engage in queer theory and, broadly, the question of sexuality, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick expresses in the opening of her book "Tendencies," an ambivalent pleasure attached to the highly palpitating mode of articulation today surrounding the subject of sexuality. Meditative, artistic, and political works on queer experiences, according to Sedgwick, are often mediated by the multilayered richness and surplus of meanings surs rounding sexuality.
