CHAPTER

Pragmatism in Queer Theory and Politics

This chapter explores the role of pragmatism in queer theory and politics, discussing the potential for working with the state to challenge oppressive norms and create political progress. It examines the critiques of queer theory's relationship with the state and the alignment of queer politics with neoliberalism. The chapter also discusses the concept of feminist and queer joy, the idea of a queer form of democracy, and the reception and pedagogical potential of a book on queer theory.
