| The first aim of this article is to provide an overview of Didier Eribon’s unique input to lesbian and gay politics and studies in France. The second aim is to examine the contours of his engagement with and critique of queer, bearing in mind that queer is, at least theoretically, opposed to the very predicate of fixed identity (such as lesbian and gay) and identity politics. In pursuing the second aim, the article will ‘calibrate’ to what extent Eribon’s thought is queer and/or resists queer, measuring it against a hypothetical norm of queer, and also determining the calibre of that thought. In its conclusion, drawing on Zygmunt Bauman’s concept of liquid modernity, the article considers two issues raised by Eribon’s work: first, the desirability or otherwise of queer politics embracing the agendas of minorities other than the sexual, such as ethnic minorities whose religious beliefs may be hostile to non-heteronormative sexualities; and the relationship of queer to the binary oppositions of universalism/particularism, sameness/difference that structure debate within the context of French Republicanism. | |
