Untying Things Together

Meer over het boek

Exploring the interplay between sexuality and theory, Eric Santner's work delves into the allure of critical thinking since the 1960s, challenging the prevailing "postcritical turn." By weaving his intellectual history with personal experiences, he reexamines major theoretical paradigms, emphasizing their transformative potential beyond mere suspicion. Santner argues that dismissing these theories overlooks their vibrant, life-affirming qualities, ultimately revealing the profound "gay science" that underpins their appeal and the libidinal energy they evoke.
