something excessive...


Our contention is that queerness pushes hard at the limits of composition. It asks that we consider not only what is not composed, but what refuses to be composed. Put another way, if queerness is the excess of sexual identities, the part that exceeds easy and knowable encapsulation in identity, then it is also the excess of composition, of the composure of stories, narratives, arguments, and texts that are “composed.”

Only an expert...


Jonathan and I (and Mack and the LAW) saw Laurie Anderson last night at Royce Hall (UCLA). Wow.
