Pride Month Keynote
Kate Bornstein '69
Thursday, April 10th There seem to be three facets of life that make or break our will to live: identity, desire, and power. The discourse of modernist theory has chiefly been in terms of power. Postmodern theory opened the can of worms on identity. Queer theory has taken a peek through the crack in the door of desire, but so far, only a peek. When our queer identities are linked to the fulfillment of our desires, our motives are immediately and thoroughly discredited by the dominant culture. The truth is, the kind pursuit and performance of our personal desires provides a key to ending to the violence perpetrated in the name of sexuality and gender. |
