Savoirs_Vampires@War by Beatriz Preciado


The abnormal ones can they become experts? Can the subordinates speak? Which type of objectivity can produce an expertise on abnormal, the trans ones, the intermittent ones, handicapped people or drug addicts? Which can be the adequate knowledge at a time postorganic? Taking as starting point the concept of situated knowledge, knowledge located, of Gave Haraway, this text offers a diagrammatic cartography of displacements of the dominant knowledge towards a multiplicity of local or minority knowledge (critical postcoloniales, postfeminists, queer, trans), as well as epistemological debate on feminist objectivity towards the political genealogies of the production of the knowledge.

MULTITUDES QUEER: NOTES FOR A POLICY OF THE ABNORMAL ONES
by Beatriz Preciado

 

This article treats formation of the movements and theories queer, relation which they maintain with feminisms and the political use that they make of Foucault and Deleuze. It explores also the theoretical advantages and policies which gets the concept of “multitudes” compared to that of “sexual difference” for the theory and the movement queer. With the difference of what occurs to the United States, the movements queer in Europe, take as a starting point the anarchistic cultures and the emergence of the cultures transgenres to counter the “Sexual Empire” in particular by proposing dice-ontologisation of the policies of the identities. More basic natural (“woman”, “gay”, etc) which can legitimate the political action. Importance not of “the sexual difference” or “the difference of homosexual (it) the S”, but of the multitudes queer. A multitude of the bodies: body transgenres, men without penis, dykes garous, cyborgs, women butchs, fags lesbians… The “sexual multitude” thus seems the possible subject of the policy queer.
