Long abstractQueer functions at its most radical as an activity rather than as a noun, and, as many queer activists have noticed, the reduction to noun-form threatens to sediment what queer “is,” especially to sediment it in the adaptable identities that neoliberal heter-opatriarchal capitalism now works with so well. So, “to queer” as an intervention, as transformational process, already transcends the opposition between noun and verb while refusing to rest, refusing to accept a transcendent position that pretends to have escaped that opposition. Three moments in this transformation-al process, in a little history of queer, lead us directly to psychoa-nalysis, perhaps back to the psychoanalysis from which it first sprung, but with which, against which, queer has an uncannily-appropriate suspicious relationship.
