Spent a few hours with this old friend last night, thinking especially with Jameson’s analysis of how *models* come & go, always becoming recognizable as metaphors once saturated by history, & the allure of the language model is it might escape such contingency & prove foundational. But it doesn’t.

Cover of Naturalization: A Queer Genealogy of US Citizenship, Race, and Sexuality by Siobhan B. Somerville.
