English Abstract
|
As a renowned science fiction writer, Samuel R. Delany, in his 1999 memoir Times Square Red, Times Square Blue, looks back nostalgically at the world that has vanished after New York City's gentrification. In the 1990s, Mayor Giuliani's neoliberal urban redevelopment wiped out Times Square's sex theaters and the area's ethnic, racial, sexual, class, and vocational diversity. Diversities were replaced by homogeneity, characterized by shops that catered to middle-class consumers and tourists. This paper employs disability and queer studies to analyze the memoir's "crip/queer" intersections. Svetlana Boym's "reflective nostalgia," Alison Kafer's "crip time," David Mitchell and Sharon Snyder's "ablenationalism" and "neoliberal biopolitics" are used as theoretical tools to highlight the dispossession of crip/queer sexual access under the regime of compulsory able-bodiedness and gentrified heteronormativity. This paper undertakes analyses of the ways in which neoliberal models of social integration allow some members of previously marginalized groups to be included under normative values and how this inclusionism sacrifices the majority of crip/queer citizens living in poverty. The paper also explores how normalcy relies on the logic of exclusion to legitimize its existence; this collusion with injustice is Sarah Schulman so-called "gentrified happiness."
