Daniel Miller argues that this metaphor has consistently expressed a desire for social and political order, grounded in the social body's imagined normative shape or morphology. The consistent result, from the "concord" discourses of the pre-Christian Stoics, all the way through to contemporary nationalism and populism, has been the suppression of any dissent that would unmake the social body's presumed normativity. Miller argues that the conception of embodiment at the heart of the metaphor is a fantasy, and that negative social and political reactions to dissent represent visceral, dysphoric responses to its reshaping of the social body. He recognizes the social body's essential queerness, defined by fluidity and lack of a fixed morphology, spawns queer democracy, expressed through ongoing social and political practices that aim to extend liberty and equality to new social domains. Queer Democracy articulates a new departure for the ongoing development of theoretical articulations linking queer and trans theory with political theory. It will appeal to both academic and non-academic readers engaged in research on political theory, populism, US religion, gender studies, and queer studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Gays $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Social contract $x History. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Miller, Daniel D., 1975- $t Queer democracy $d New York, N.Y. : Routledge, 2021. $z 9781003163923 $w (DLC) 2021009447 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403011505.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E7BCC24E23911EC9D80461122ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
