Радикалне квир политике: од дисагенсности до ахуманог
Radical Queer Politics: From Disagency to the Ahuman

Summary/Abstract: In this text, the author explores the possibility of founding queer politics on the concepts of disagency and the ahuman. On the one hand, such queer politics critique the heteronormative subject and the body as organism, and on the other they critique the capitalist axiomatic in its neoliberal form. Concept of disagency points to the most basic asymmetry in the constitution of the subject in the sense that there lay, underneath the subject of representation, passive syntheses and larval selves which possess different temporalities than the linear one belonging to the subject of representation and the body as organism. The concept of the ahuman points to the necessity of overcoming the human (subject of representation/ body as organism) for a critique of both capitalism and heteronormativity. The ahuman is that before/after the human which is beyond the identity of thinking and being, and as such it is the necessary ontological condition of disagency. The author will show that radical queer politics, considering that they are ontologically founded on the ahuman (absolute immanence), they move from the critique of (neoliberal/ heteronormative) subject to the invention of new forms of life (after the human as organism). Such move is based on the particular ontology of desire, conceptualized as positive and without lack, which leads toward re- conceptualization of body and sexuality as a whole and, thus, toward the possibility of imagining different politics and communities.
