Parasite Poetics: Noise and Queer Hospitality in Erín Moure’s O Cidadán
|
| Abstract |
The author sets out to show how Montreal-based poet Erin Moure builds a queer critique of literature, politics, and subjectivity by using noise as a poetic medium. She notes that Moure insists that only by deliberately placing one’s literary and political attention upon what is strange, unwanted, and disruptive can we ensure a place for the heterogenous multitudes and their embodiments to come. In this way, she aligns her poetics of noise with queer theory’s turn toward negative affect and unruly becomings. The author argues that this inquiry drives the structure and linguistic play of Moure's work and is intimately connected to her probe of the limits and possibilities of citizenship and queer hospitality.
