这确实是一个奇怪的时代。反恐战争是一系列持久的现代主义范式（文明目的论、东方主义、仇外心理、军事化、边境焦虑）和后现代主义爆发（自杀式炸弹袭击者、生物识别监视策略、新兴物质、过度反恐）的结合。由于强调身体、欲望、快乐、触觉、节奏、回声、质感、死亡、发病、折磨、疼痛、感觉和惩罚，我们的死亡政治现在-未来认为有必要重新阐明酷儿理论和性研究对帝国元理论和“现实政治”的看法，正如琼·斯科特所观察到的，帝国通常被理解为“政治的真正事务”。 1 酷儿时代需要更酷儿的思维、分析、创造力和表达方式，以阐述民族主义、爱国主义和恐怖主义的形成及其相互交织的种族化反常性行为和性别焦虑。反恐战争以及随之而来的种族主义、民族主义、爱国主义和恐怖主义的组合已经非常奇怪了，那又如何呢？通过对各种恐怖分子实体中酷儿的审视，我认为，酷儿甚至在被否认或未被承认的情况下就会激增。我进行这些类型的调查不仅是为了论证反恐话语本质上是性别化、种族化、性化和民族化的，而且也是为了证明规范的爱国者团体的产生，这些团体反对并通过酷儿恐怖主义实体团结起来。在接下来的思辨、探索性努力中，我突出了这种叠瓦的三种表现形式。第一，我研究了酷儿性话语，其中对酷儿肉体的有问题的概念化，特别是通过穆斯林性行为，被复制以服务于美国例外论的话语。第二，我将恐怖分子团体（在本例中为自杀式炸弹袭击者）重新表述为酷儿群体，抵制酷儿性身份（或反身份）——换句话说，交叉和身份主义范式——支持空间、时间和物质的融合、内爆和重新排列。酷儿作为一个集合体远离了挖掘工作，剥夺了酷儿与非酷儿主体之间的二元对立，并且，
These are queer times indeed. The war on terror is an assemblage hooked into an array of enduring modernist paradigms (civilizing teleologies, orientalisms, xenophobia, militarization, border anxieties) and postmodernist eruptions (suicide bombers, biometric surveillance strategies, emergent corporealities, counterterrorism gone overboard). With its emphases on bodies, desires, pleasures, tactility, rhythms, echoes, textures, deaths, morbidity, torture, pain, sensation, and punishment, our necropolitical present-future deems it imperative to rearticulate what queer theory and studies of sexuality have to say about the metatheories and the “realpolitiks” of Empire, often understood, as Joan Scott observes, as “the real business of politics.” 1 Queer times require even queerer modalities of thought, analysis, creativity, and expression in order to elaborate on nationalist, patriotic, and terrorist formations and their intertwined forms of racialized perverse sexualities and gender dysphorias. What about the war on terrorism, and its attendant assemblages of racism, nationalism, patriotism, and terrorism, is already profoundly queer? Through an examination of queerness in various terrorist corporealities, I contend that queernesses proliferate even, or especially, as they remain denied or unacknowledged. I take up these types of inquiries not only to argue that discourses of counterterrorism are intrinsically gendered, raced, sexualized, and nationalized but also to demonstrate the production of normative patriot bodies that cohere against and through queer terrorist corporealities. In the speculative, exploratory endeavor that follows, I foreground three manifestations of this imbrication. One, I examine discourses of queerness where problematic conceptualizations of queer corporealities, especially via Muslim sexualities, are reproduced in the service of discourses of U.S. exceptionalisms. Two, I rearticulate a terrorist body, in this case the suicide bomber, as a queer assemblage that resists queerness-as-sexual-identity (or anti-identity)—in other words, intersectional and identitarian paradigms—in favor of spatial, temporal, and corporeal convergences, implosions, and rearrangements. Queerness as an assemblage moves away from excavation work, deprivileges a binary opposition between queer and not-queer subjects, and, instead of
