Homonationalisme et impérialisme sexuel : Politiques néolibérales de l'hégémonie

Abstract

This article, specifically based on 2007 Jasbir Puar's book Terrorist Assemblages, recently but partially translated into French, seeks to stress and put into perspective some new theoretical tools to describe new forms of cultural imperialism. New concepts such as homonationalism and sexual exceptionalism will be analyzed and discussed in the light of recent national and transnational phenomena of the new imperialism. Through a materialist reading, it will also discuss how homonationalism and American politics of inclusion and exclusion respectively of white queer subjectivities and racialized subjects, especially Arab and/or Muslim (queer or not), are part of a broader struggle for hegemony underlying neoliberal politics of globalized capitalism. There is therefore a new stage of imperialism, which now, and increasingly, uses sexual politics as a strategy of accumulation of capital. © Presses de Sciences Po.
