Against the currency of the ‘post-identarian’, Heterophobia explores the productive possibilities of the phobic, the suspicious, and the negative as responses to the increasing culture of the visible in which the queer functions in the present. Following in lead of the political right’s recent call to protect their phobia as basic freedom, Heterophobia explores the ways in which a fearful response to heteronormative structures and ideals, often in the name of equality, might provoke new chains of affect and desire which might restructure the very processes by which fear and/or love is named. Guest edited by Villa Design Group.
