Long abstractThe point of departure of this edited volume was experimental, and so too is its result. The idea for this collection initially sprung from a need, not to mention desire, to open up, relate to and test the limits of certain avenues of thought and their material impli-cations. These were part of our intellectual horizons and everyday experiences when we were living in the UK, but were also shaped by our moving in and out of the country, and through friends, or friends of friends, families of all kinds, comrades, books, objects, concepts etc. from all over the world. The idea came from a need to experiment with (familiar or unfamiliar) others, so as to create a platform of engagement while “sweating” with certain concepts, as Sarah Ahmed so beautifully put it.1 But such need to experi-ment derived from the fact that we had already found ourselves “sweating” with desire in our everyday lives, in relationships that were confronting us with our own failed attempts to transcend limits, in feelings of embarrassment, frustration, and anger with imposed structures, in repeating what we had promised ourselves never to do again, in blushing with guilt for something we never for a moment thought we would do, but at the same time feeling the liberation of doing it, in not admitting to ourselves and others that queer might not be the word to define all of our unreleased fantasies, or in asking what the limits of queer might be... – the list of our meanderings in the realms of desire and sexuality could go on endlessly.
