Question
This essay opens by noting the difference between asking “Do you like sex?” and “Do you often feel the need to have sex?” For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this essay by Leo Bersani often said to have begun the “antisocial turn” in queer theory. The title of this essay was inspired by Simon Watney’s remark about AIDS creating a “new machinery of repression.”
ANSWER: “Is the Rectum a Grave?”
[10e] Tim Dean dates the antisocial turn to Guy Hocquenghem’s (“ghee oh-can-GHEM’s”) call for this group to “masturbate.” This three- or four-word term for wage-laborers appears in the last sentence of The Communist Manifesto.
ANSWER: workers of the world [or Proletarier aller Länder; or Proletarians of all countries]
[10m] The “antisocial turn” peaked with Lee Edelman’s book No Future, which coined the term “sinthomosexual” in reference to the usage of sinthome in these works. Jacques-Alain Miller edited these works, which were presented weekly at places like the SFP and Sainte-Anne Hospital between 1954 and 1976.
ANSWER: seminars of Jacques Lacan [accept séminaires in place of “seminars”; prompt on seminars or séminaires by asking “delivered by whom?”; prompt on answers using synonyms of talks, lectures, or presentations]
