Historically, queer stems from minoritarianism, which is why it is bound with Feminism (MacCormack 2020b). It constitutes a political alliance (Butler 2021), a methodological framework for the systematic corruption of the familiar (Giffney and Hird 2008), an epistemological bomb, and an interrogation of the reproduction of knowledge in its repetitive and linear sense. Queer is a passionate motion towards life that exceeds any form of ‘self’ (MacCormack 2020b). It commits to imagining beyond, and thinking the unthinkable (Silva 2000). It builds on relationality and on deterritorialisation (Giffney and Hird 2008).
