Reading: Jack Halberstam âThe Queer Art of Failureâ
Join Jack Halberstam in a discussion of failure, dissent, refusal, and queer politicsâ yup, all in one night! Halberstamâs latest book, âThe Queer Art of Failure,â is about finding alternativesâ to conventional understandings of success in a heteronormative, capitalist society; to academic disciplines that confirm what is already known according to approved methods of knowing; and to cultural criticism that claims to break new ground but cleaves to conventional archives. Halberstam has also authored âFemale Masculinityâ and âIn a Queer Time and Place.â
