The Languorous Critic
Insofar as criticism is an art of love, its prevailing mood is languor: a paradox of enthusiasm and enervation, ravishment and reflectiveness, eloquence and speechlessness, savoring and sadness. How might we define this languorous mood as a critical disposition? What could it help us to see? What is a languorous critical style? How has it been celebrated and maligned? This essay looks closely at languor as an intellectual mood in the work of Rola…

The Future's Eve: Reparative Reading after Sedgwick
In 1995, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick proposed the concept of "reparative reading," a critique of what she called "paranoid reading," a certain hermeneutic of aggravated suspicion and negative affects. In recent years, psychoanalytic theorists of queerness have taken a quite different turn toward reconsideration of the death drive, not just how it is projected on gay men or directed at them but also how it is uniquely embodied and celebrated by them. Th…
The Child as Pornographer
Law enforcement can no longer feasibly contain child pornography within its former borders, since the Internet and digital technology have made images simple to produce in private and even simpler to distribute globally in an instant with little concern for national borders, local laws, or the rights of the performers. Ironically, the largest producers of child pornography in the world may now be the children themselves, who are circulating digit…

Decadence and Catholicism
Does a failure to produce enjoyable prose ever indicate a failure to enjoy anal sex? If so, when? Let us consider the case of two colleagues with whom I happen to have had no intercourse whatsoever

Oscar Wilde and the Scarlet Woman
In the late nineteenth century, England was embroiled in a political debate over the importation of Roman Catholic rituals into the Anglican Church, not to mention the re-establishment of the Roman Church itself in Great Britain. Victorian anti-Catholic rhetoric draws upon the figure of the Whore of Babylon to depict the Roman Catholic Church as the Scarlet Woman, a femme fatale who perverts Christianity and seduces Englishmen with elaborate ritu…
Technology, paranoia and the queer voice
Sodomy and Kingcraft inUraniaandAntony and Cleopatra
Despite his description of sodomy as a horrible crime that a king is "bound in conscience neuer to forgiue," James I pursued the affections of a string of young and handsome "favourites" on whom he lavished gifts, titles, and power. Relying on the evidence of the King's own letters and frank comments from his Puritan critics, most historians assume that his relations with some of these men were sexual. The King's friendship with Robert Carr (who …
