#715 Lee Edelman - No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive
Lee Edelman, Fletcher Professor of English at Tufts and leading queer theory thinker, guides a brisk tour of No Future. He maps how the symbolic Child shapes politics, outlines reproductive futurism, and treats queerness as a disruptive figure. Conversations touch on sinthomosexuality, anti‑abortion and anti‑homosexual movements, and tensions between life, death, and political meaning.
