“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Agora: The Queer Politics of Literariness” traces the relation between the linguistic turn in literary studies and the emergence of queer theory. Showing how the advent of structuralism followed by the wide-spread dissemination of deconstruction, introduced a cultural anxiety about the separation of literary studies from its vitalizing social contexts, this talk examines the logic by which that separation got taken up by theorists of queer negativity and reframed precisely as a political response to the social order’s dominant values.
