Call Me Queer
Queer, by its very definition, is a word for the fringe. It represents the "off," the strange, the not-quite-anything. Queer is both an adjective and a verb. To queer something means to skew it, recontextualize it, or remediate it. Sometimes this means to apply a strictly queer sexual context to something, as in "queering art" by laying over a canon a queer sensibility (such as skewed gender roles, homo-eroticism, or kink, for instance). Sometimes, it means taking something out of context so that its essence can be better understood. Thus, queer is both an addition and a subtraction, inclusive and exclusive.
