Late Liberalism Project

The focus of this project is on the forces that make political ideology and fantasy attach to particular forms: political ones, such as the nation, as well as corporeal ones, evidenced in gender, sexuality, race, indigenousness, caste, and so on. What does it mean to pull apart these forms from the desires that make people attached to them? What might we learn from transitional concepts like the global and the transnational, or from non-individuality-based notions of freedom and justice?

This project is more about technologies of political form than it is about "gender and sexuality" in its usual senses; yet gender and sexuality are central to the stories, past and future, which we are trying to understand and to tell.
