Cruising Utopia, 10th Anniversary Edition

A 10th anniversary edition of this field defining work--an intellectual inspiration for a generation of LGBTQ scholars Cruising Utopia arrived in 2009 to insist that queerness must be reimagined as a futurity-bound phenomenon, an insistence on the potentiality of another world that would crack open the pragmatic present. Part manifesto, part love-letter to the past and the future, Jos� Esteban Mu�oz argued that the here and now were not enough and issued an urgent call for the revivification of the queer political imagination. On the anniversary of its original publication, this edition includes two essays that extend and expand the project of Cruising Utopia, as well as a new foreword by the current editors of Sexual Cultures, the book series he co-founded with Ann Pellegrini 20 years ago. This 10th anniversary edition celebrates the lasting impact that Cruising Utopia has had on the decade of queer of color critique that followed and introduces a new generation of readers to a future not yet here.

O editie a 10-a aniversare a acestui domeniu care defineste munca - o inspiratie intelectuala pentru o generatie de eruditi LGBTQ Cruising Utopia a sosit in 2009 pentru a insista asupra faptului ca stralucirea trebuie reinventata ca un fenomen legat de viitor, o insistenta asupra potentialitatii unei alte lumi care s-ar putea sparge deschide prezentul pragmatic. In parte manifest, in parte scrisoare de dragoste catre trecut si viitor, Jos Esteban Muño a sustinut ca aici si acum nu erau suficiente si a lansat o cerere urgenta pentru revigorarea imaginatiei politice ciudate.
