Desire\u2019s Multiplicity and Serendipity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Desire, wandering about and forming assemblages, might be accompanied by serendipity or mate with jouissance or the power of the erotic, even as it fails to reach its presumed aim. Instead of running on a single track, we take desire as functioning in multiple registers. We call on desire\u2019s serendipity to grasp its illogical, contingent modes as a figure of fortunate errans. The lecture series \u201cDesire\u2019s Multiplicity and Serendipity\u201d looks for queer reconceptualizations of desire, its cultural articulations and lived realities. The key question is how to move from a critique of desire as a hierarchizing and normalizing force to the heterotopias of desire. What would it mean to understand or experience desire as an opening up to alterity, undermining its own involvement in structural inequalities and normative violence?<\/p>\n
