"...the sociologist and writer Angela Jones understands queerness as an ongoing process of becoming, one that demands repeated "experimentations with alterity". We may not arrive at queerness, but it might be what allows us to turn again and again towards those we are supposed to disavow, in defiance of the predetermined trajectories our bodies are supposed to inhabit".

"Some of the most important encounters with my identity and my desires have been granted to me by the sex scene, through the way it speaks to my body at the same time as my imagination, to proximity as well as distance: the distance that allows desire to exist. The sex scene can provide so much imagery, language and possibly where we have none."
