Abstract This article aims to rethink the concept of unpredictability – one that natural law theoreticians such as Thomas Hobbes have in the past read through negative connotations of suspiciousness, uncertainty, contingency or anti-orderliness - through the lens of art and LGBTQI+ activism. Instead of demanding more certainty, security and authoritarianism in an era when we are confronted with radical uncertainties, this article aims to explore the potentialities of unpredictable activism; more specifically, it explores the unpredictable actions that Turkey-based LGBTI & Queer activists have staged in response to various attacks in the past few years. In so doing, it reads the concept of unpredictability in a positive way, and unveils its potential in the realm of political activism.

不确定时期不可预测的激进主义

摘要 本文旨在通过艺术和 LGBTQI+ 激进主义的视角重新思考不可预测性的概念——托马斯霍布斯等自然法理论家过去曾解读过怀疑、不确定、偶然或反秩序的负面含义。在我们面临极端不确定性的时代,与其要求更多的确定性、安全性和威权主义,本文旨在探索不可预测的激进主义的潜力;更具体地说,它探讨了土耳其的 LGBTI 和酷儿活动家在过去几年中为应对各种袭击而采取的不可预测的行动。通过这样做,它以积极的方式解读了不可预测性的概念,并揭示了其在政治激进主义领域的潜力。
