"What are the possibilities of politicizing disidentification, this experience of misrecognition, this uneasy sense of standing under a sign to which one does and does not belong?"

- Judith Butler, Bodies That Matter

I'll admit to being not 100% confident with the concept of disidentification -- we've only read parts of Muñoz's book, which is what really took the idea and ran with it, and talked about it for one day in an undergrad queer theory class. Plus, there's a racial element there -- at least to Muñoz's conceptualization of it -- that doesn't apply to us.

( Still, misrecognition. )
