The LGBT agenda for too long has been dominated by pragmatic issues like same-sex marriage and gays in the military. It has been stifled by this myopic focus on the present, which is short-sighted and assimilationist. "Cruising Utopia" seeks to break the present stagnancy by cruising ahead. Drawing on the work of Ernest Bloch, Jose Esteban Munoz recalls the queer past for guidance in presaging its future. He considers the work of seminal artists and writers such as Andy Warhol, LeRoi Jones, Frank O'Hara, Ray Johnson, Fred Herko, Samuel Delany, and Elizabeth Bishop, alongside contemporary performance and visual artists like Dynasty Handbag, My Barbarian, Luke Dowd, Tony Just, and Kevin McCarty in order to decipher the anticipatory illumination of art and its uncanny ability to open windows to the future. In a startling repudiation of what the LGBT movement has held dear, Munoz contends that queerness is instead a futurity bound phenomenon, a 'not yet here' that critically engages pragmatic presentism. Part manifesto, part love-letter to the past and the future, "Cruising Utopia" argues that the here and now are not enough and issues an urgent call for the revivification of the queer political imagination.

为了这学期post-AIDS重读。关于AIDS之后unprotected sex中的death impulse的论述非常有趣。AIDS的出现打破了关于”未来“的一切美好幻想，正如Lee Edelman所说，“NO FUTURE"
评分饮用bolch, Heideggere而不是barthes foucault的标配而对于hope和anti-antirelational的见解十分新颖且critical
评分对于queerness as a "not-yet-conscious"的理解非常有意思，intro很难理解但正文还好。
评分把酷儿研究较少关注的布洛赫作为主要的理论资源，兼取马尔库塞、海德格尔等，既批评了北美LGBT运动的新自由主义倾向、对交叉性的忽视、homonormativity的危险，也与Edelman反未来的死亡驱力针锋相对，在文学、绘画、表演等文化实践中寻找酷儿乌托邦的希望。
评分utopia on the horizon as a critique of the present
