This book is an attempt to save "the sexual" from the oblivion to
which certain strands in queer theory tend to condemn it, and at
the same time to limit the risks of anti-politics and solipsism
contained in what has been termed antisocial queer theory. It takes
a journey from Sigmund Freud to Mario Mieli and Guy Hocquenghem,
from Michel Foucault and Judith Butler to Teresa de Lauretis, Leo
Bersani, Lee Edelman, and Tim Dean, and from all of these thinkers
back to Immanuel Kant and Thomas Hobbes. At the end, through
readings of Bruce LaBruce's movies on gay zombies, the elitism of
antisocial queer theory is brought into contact with popular
culture. The living dead come to represent a dispossessed form of
subjectivity, whose monstrous drives are counterposed to predatory
desires of liberal individuals. The reader is thus lead into the
interstitial spaces of the Queer Apocalypses, where the past and
the future collapse onto the present, and sexual minorities
resurrect to the chance of a non-heroic political agency.
