摘要：One of the intended implications of this essay will be that a properly dialectical response to the ostensible opposition between Marxism and queer studies is to be found, today, in the very place where Marxist intellectuals may least expect to find it: within queer thought itself. But we need to underscore the word “ostensible”: whether this opposition can even be said to persist is increasingly open to question. This seems to me to be one of the dialectical lessons of contemporary queer studies, as I will suggest in what follows. But I suppose, then, that I will also necessarily be suggesting that one would have to be in the habit of following queer studies in order to know this: the publication venues for scholarship in these two fields seem, still, to remain largely separate. Whether these two analytic paradigms can be said to be any longer at odds is then much more in question, at least in my view, than the segregation of the venues in which they do their work. In this respect we seem to be in a moment in which Marxism and queer studies remain separate, but on the other hand don’t. It will be up to the reader, in any case, to judge whether the appearance in Cultural Logic of an essay like this one is something like an effort to bridge what remains unbridgeable.
