Description
Cruising Utopia: A Futurity Bound Phenomenon José Esteban Muñoz's groundbreaking work challenges the conventional focus of the LGBT agenda, instead advocating for a forward-thinking approach that looks beyond the present. By drawing on the work of influential artists and writers, Muñoz seeks to decipher the anticipatory illumination of art and its ability to open windows to the future. In this thought-provoking book, Muñoz argues that queerness is not just a past or present issue, but a futurity bound phenomenon that critically engages with pragmatic presentism. Part manifesto and part love-letter to the past and the future, Cruising Utopia issues an urgent call for the revivification of the queer political imagination. This book offers a fresh perspective on the role of art in shaping our understanding of queerness and its potential for the future.
