ABSTRACT

Examining popular responses to highly visible examples of queer and trans death – the 2016 massacre of Latinx (largely Puerto Rican) victims at the Pulse LGBT nightclub in Orlando, Florida, and the 2014 murder of Filipina trans woman Jennifer Laude by a white U.S. Marine in Olongapo, Philippines – this article argues that queer and trans necropolitics are intimately intertwined with the afterlife of empire in former U.S. colonies/neocolonies. Queer Latinx and queer Filipina/o/x American responses to both events exemplify a coalitional moment in which diasporic anti-imperialist politics intersects with queer and trans social movements.

摘要

审视民众对酷儿和跨性别死亡的例子的普遍反应-2016年在佛罗里达州奥兰多的Pulse LGBT夜总会屠杀Latinx（主要为波多黎各人）的受害者，以及2014年在美国的一名白人海军陆战队谋杀菲律宾跨性别女人Jennifer Laude。菲律宾奥隆阿波–本文认为，同志和跨族政治与前美国殖民地/新殖民地帝国的来世息息相关。美国对这两个事件的回应是Querer Latinx和Quer Filipina / o / x，这体现了一个联盟时刻，在该时刻，散居在外的反帝国主义政治与同志和跨社会运动相交。
