The focus of this episode is Jack Halberstam's The Queer Art of Failure (2011) and we were joined by our wonderful guest, Gabriel/le du Plessis. In this episode we discussed the chapters 'Introduction: Low Theory' and Chapter 5 '"The Killer in Me is the Killer in You": Homosexuality and Fascism". Some of the topics we chatted about include failure, low theory, memory, queer history and fascism.  Sources There were a lot of sources mentioned in this episode and you can find the full list here.  Note: In the episode Paola mentions Archive Fever by Jacques Derrida but she is actually referring to Specters of Marx. Fan Fiction Note: we have not always read the fan fictions all the way through, and so often rely on tags and summaries to find pieces. We will usually state if we have read the fan fictions in the episode, and so please approach these with your own discretion. eaglesflying - The Disorder of Desire meowclops – ghost (of a good time) Contact Us You can get in touch with us via our email: theoryishpodcast@gmail.com Socials We are on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok at theoryish_pod and Facebook at theoryishpod Music Outro: Lori Beauty, Coma Studios
