*Queer necropolitics: lives, deaths and the end(s) of queer anthropology*
The topic of death is far from new to gay and lesbian anthropologists. However, recent developments in Western queer politics suggest an important political shift from those queers who are left to die (through HIV/AIDs or denial of reproduction and parenting), to queers that reproduce life (Puar 2007). Yet, not all queers are ‘fostered for living’; just as only some queer deaths are constituted grievable (Butler 2004). When looking at the simultaneous expansion of liberal gay politics and its complicity within the US ‘war on terror’, Jasbir Puar calls our attention to the ‘differences between queer subjects who are being folded (back) into life and the racialised queernesses that emerge through the naming of populations’, often those marked for death (2007: 36.). Inspired by Achille Mbembe’s concept of necropolitics — a concept he develops when analysing subalternity, race and war and terror (Mbembe 2003) — and by Puar’s insightful notion of queer necropolitics, this panel seeks to explore the relations between queerness and war, immigration, colonisation, imprisonment and other forms of population control. At the time of military invasions, colonial struggles and the simultaneously globalised and nationalised ‘wars on terror’, what is the place of queerness in formations of race, nation and citizenship? What are the practices — institutional, discursive, affective — through which some queers are ‘disciplined into subjecthood, narrated into population, and fostered for living’ (Puar 2007: 36) while others are regulated through death? What are the responsibilities of producing anthropological knowledge about sexuality in contexts where such knowledge is repeatedly mobilised by military strategists and colonial entrepreneurs? And what is the role of queer anthropology in conceptualising the dangerous alliances that are often formed between right-wing patriotism and the discourse of GLBT rights? Speakers are invited to reflect on these and related questions and address topics such as regimes of grievability in formations of queer subjects; queer colonialities; ethnographic accounts of the relations between queer lives and deaths; and racialisation of queer politics at the times of the ‘war on terror’.

Estoy preparando mi texto de 300 palabras sobre lo que estoy dispuesta a hacer y lo que no en Perras Horizontales, un proyecto de prostitución alternativa que espero me saque de la pobreza.
Y tengo que hablar con propiedad, así que estoy preparando un vocabulario básico. Primera palabra: Irrumación.

La irrumación (del latín irrumatio) es una variante de la felación (el sexo oral sobre el pene y el escroto).

Hay una sutil diferencia entre la irrumación y la felación: en la felación la persona feladora (la que chupa) se mueve (mientras el felado se queda en una actitud pasiva), en el caso de la irrumación el irrumado (el hombre cuyo pene será chupado) realiza todos los movimientos, situado encima o al lado de la persona irrumadora, quien —usualmente acostada y en actitud pasiva— recibe el pene en la boca. En la Antigua Roma la irrumación se consideraba un tipo de vejación, como se ve evidenciado en los grafitos pornográficos y obscenos y en los frescos hallados en el siglo XVIII en las paredes de las ruinas de Pompeya y en los Priapeos.

Algunos versos de Priapo en los que hace mención:

Quae percidere puer, moneo, futuere puella; barbatum furem tertia poena manet.

‘Te sodomizaré, muchacho, te lo advierto; a ti, muchacha, te follaré; al barbado ladrón la tercera pena [la irrumación] es la que le espera.’

Ne prendare, cave. […] Traiectus conto sic extendere pedali, Ut culum rugam non habuisse putes.

‘Ten cuidado, no vaya a cogerte. […] Atravesado por mi percha descomunal, quedarás tan estirado que nunca pensarás que tu culo tenga curva alguna.’…
