years pass by yet the most powerful narrative is still constructed
everytime you go out and pick the most handsome boy in the club.
he leads you to the loo, you kiss each other- your tongues intertwined,
he takes your cock out, calls you 'sexy man', then you take a cab home
(he knows the driver) and end up in your bed...
everyone is to be had- i remain hopeful, handsome and brave.

he was standing at the back of the gym hall amongst his brothas, seemingly one of them
yet on his very own. he, in my eyes, exuded integrity; the kind of integrity
that grew out of fascinating stories of 'becoming' and 'being', the tale of his transitions.
i obviously admired him. he smiled at me- the way american boys do- then
he came closer
- why are you using this funny machine?
- 'cause i am funny, i guess.

Queer@King's presents...
Where is Queer Studies?
Friday 11 November 2011, 15.00-18.30, King's College London
This afternoon symposium will explore the position of queer studies in the contemporary political landscape of widespread economic and social unrest, seeking to cross borders between queer scholarship within the academy and the broader public culture with which it is enmeshed. National culture and citizenship, like neoliberalism and its family values, are terrains indelibly marked by the politics of the sexual, but in the current social and political climate—in which higher education in the UK is facing unprecedented modifications to its funding structures; in which the welfare state is subject to major restructuring along neoliberal lines; and during which we have seen wellsprings of revolutionary energies and the rebirth of youth activism—how have queer scholars responded?
Topics for discussion will include:
The position of queer studies in relation to
● the nation-state, both in the UK, elsewhere across the EU, and beyond
● the institutional arrangements and disciplinary structures of British academia
● contemporary activism, political movements, and revolutionary energies outside the academy
What histories—national, transnational, activist, governmental, and institutional—inform these relationships, and what kinds of interventions into these discourses might queer scholarship be uniquely positioned to offer? How might the knowledge production of queer studies be mobilized and placed in conversation with contemporary movements for social change and political resistance? Where has queer studies been in the evolution of these discourses about the national public sphere, and what new horizons might queer theory enable us to conceptualize as possible vistas for the future?
Opening panel featuring Antke Engel (Institute for Queer Theory, Hamburg/Berlin), Kaye Mitchell (University of Manchester), William Spurlin (Brunel University) and Hector Kollias (King's College London). Breakout sessions will be organized around themes of Activism and Affect, Legacies and (Il)legibility, and Queering Democracy.
FREE AND ALL WELCOME BUT ADVANCED REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY. To register please contact queer@kcl.ac.uk with affiliation and contact details.
Organized by Matias Gardin and Skyler Hijazi on behalf of Queer@King's.
Venue: room 1.10, Franklin Wilkins Building, Waterloo Campus, King's College London.

αυτό ήταν. η εικόνα της κατηλειμμένης mare street από το άγριο πλήθος,
τα κατεστραμμένα καταστήματα της vodafone, σφραγίζουν την επαναχάραξη των ορίων του κοινωνικού πολέμου.
o φόβος ενός καθολικού γενικευμένου πλιάτσικου στοιχειώνει πλέον τους σχεδιασμούς τους.
η πόλη είναι πιο όμορφη από ποτέ.

ο αλί σαλέμ ελ-φαιζάνι τροχονόμος στους δρόμους της βεγγάζης. η συκοφαντημένη επανάσταση ωριμάζει και θα νικήσει.

ως ο μόνος τρόπος για την αποτροπή ενός σφαγείου εθνικής κλίμακας.
η επέμβαση στη λιβύη είναι ηθικά νομιμοποιημένη
στο βαθμό που είναι συμβατή και ανάλογη με τις εκκλήσεις
της (κοινωνικά πλειοψηφoύσας) αντιπολίτευσης.
ως η μόνη, εκ των πραγμάτων, οδός για την επικράτηση της επανάστασης.
η κεντρική αντίθεση είναι ανάμεσα στον κυρίαρχο καντάφι
(και τα συστήματα που αρθρώνονται σε αλληλεξάρτηση με αυτόν)
και τους κυριαρχούμενους που διεκδικούν βασικές ελευθερίες.
η κεντρική αντίθεση δεν είναι ανάμεσα στους 'κακούς' ιμπεριαλιστές
η κεντρική αντίθεση δεν είναι ανάμεσα στους 'κακούς' ιμπεριαλιστές
και στους 'καλούς' αντι-ιμπεριαλιστές- η αφήγηση αυτή
γαληνεύει μόνο τα (κουφά) αυτιά της αριστεράς.
η διαφορά για τους από κάτω ανάμεσα στην εκμετάλλευση των πετρελαίων
από ένα (compromised) κρατικοκαπιταλιστικό σύστημα
και την εκμετάλλευση από τις πολυεθνικές είναι υλικά ανύπαρκτη
και πολιτικά δυσδιάκριτη-ληστεύουν και οι δυο τους τη λιβύη το ίδιο.
η επικράτηση της επανάστασης είναι η μόνη διέξοδος
από την καθεστωτική κόλαση. η βούληση της επανάστασης
αλλοιώνεται από τη δυτική επέμβαση, η επανάσταση ωστόσο εξακολουθεί
να υπηρετεί την κοινωνική επιταγή για αλλαγή.
η παραπομπή σε δίκη του καντάφι και τους συνεργών του είναι απαραίτητη-
να γίνει σε αραβικό έδαφος, με αραβικό δίκαιο.
η αλληλεγγύη στους πολιορκημένους στη μιζράτα,
στους φυλακισμένους στην τρίπολη είναι δεδομένη.

'Will you marry me?'
'What the fuck?'
Richie stopped dead and dropped her arm. She giggled at the look on his face and she punched his shoulder.
'Why not?'
His tongue was doing that weird thing he did whenever he was thinking to himself, jutting out and licking his top lip.
It sometimes made him look a little slow. His face brightened. 'Sure'
It sometimes made him look a little slow. His face brightened. 'Sure'
'Cool.'
'When?'
'We 've got to have lots of affairs first and travel the world.'
'Done.'

στο κεντρικό σταθμαρχείο
το κτελ ως το εντόπιο νεωτερικό. η κίνηση (μετοικεσία) ως μαμή της ιστορίας.

τις προάλλες κατέβηκα στον 'θερμαϊκό' για καφέ. αναγνώρισα τουλάχιστον ένα πρόσωπο, με αναγνώρισε κι αυτός.
