„Ogród pośród płomieni”. Erotyka imperium, eklezjalne ciała i queerowanie małżeństwa
„Garden among the Flames”. The Erotics of Imperium, Ecclesial Bodies, and Queering the Marriage

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to map more closely a queer revolutionary potential of Christian theology, which has two sources: historico-political (anti- -imperial roots of Christianity in a colonial situation, generating a permanent opposition against the imperial ideologies of the „eternal order”, virtue and power, as well as some comprehensive parodistic strategies), and religio-imaginative (theology of Incarnation and Resurrection as revolutionary discourses set against the whole ancient metaphysical tradition working around the concept of „nature” and the positive, determining orders of being / universe, which stabilize the political imperial orders, homonoia). The Christian projects turned out to be both „deviant” and „reappriopriative”: crypto-political radicalism of Christian theology of Incarnation and Resurrection has produced an enormous tension being relieved by some naturalization of a higher order, but that tension cannot be erased without destroying the very anti-imperial and anti-naturalistic foundations of the theology. Christian erotic eschatology of the „saving failures” as a religio-political utopia has nothing to do with the „natural order” or community of republican / imperial subjects and their virtues, which is why the political, ecclesial bodies are the queer bodies, unable to be regular organs within the „perfect body” as an eternal schēma.
