Lessons of Queer and Affect Theory

The second in the CJLC's spring panel series "Framing Indignation," the questions at large in this conversation will attempt to frame recent scenes of political resistance in the specific disciplinary terms of queer and affect theory. What lessons does the pedagogy of queer theory have to teach about issues not traditionally associated with the discipline-violence, collectivity, and the law, among myriad possible objects? How, then, are these concepts rewritten and destabilized? In the precarious evolution of protest politics, for example, how are affective communities formed and sustained?
