The question of whether a (queer) politics of utopia can be located in the past, the future or the present conjures a set of ambivalences and dichotomies, of which the creativity–negativity debate and the (non)future of neoliberalism are cogent for feminist praxis. Convergences can be traced between understandings of utopia grounded in everyday experimentation and queer feminist critiques of normativity as a life project as well as an ongoing educational project. This article dissects social critic, psychologist, poet, novelist and anarchist Paul Goodman’s essay ‘The politics of being queer’ (1969), reading it through a queer feminist lens in order to shed new light on his ‘buried conversations’ with feminism. Mindful of and in opposition to Goodman’s controversial avowal of ‘masculinities’—most notably in his Growing Up Absurd (1960)—the article situates his idea(s) of freedom-autonomy and the disidentifications he proposed—with gay liberation agendas/movements, with bisexuality, with ‘masculinity’—within a wider feminist educational/pedagogical project of experimenting with utopia in the here and now. Goodman’s calls for a liberated society left us a utopian imaginary for engaging with an embodied politics for the present—for teaching, educating, loving and living differently.

女权主义乌托邦、酷儿和保罗古德曼

乌托邦的（酷儿）政治是否可以定位在过去、未来或现在的问题引发了一系列矛盾和二分法，其中创造性-否定性辩论和新自由主义的（非）未来对女权主义者来说是有说服力的。实践。可以追溯到以日常实验为基础的对乌托邦的理解与酷儿女权主义对规范性作为生活项目和持续教育项目的批评之间的趋同。这篇文章剖析了社会评论家、心理学家、诗人、小说家和无政府主义者保罗·古德曼 (Paul Goodman) 的文章“酷儿的政治”(1969)，通过酷儿女权主义的视角来解读它，以揭示他与女权主义的“隐秘对话”。考虑到并反对古德曼对“男子气概”的有争议的公开——最显着的是在他的荒谬成长（1960）中——这篇文章将他的自由自主和他提出的不认同的想法置于同性恋解放议程/运动中，双性恋，“男子气概”——在更广泛的女权主义教育/教学项目中，在此时此地尝试乌托邦。古德曼对自由社会的呼吁给我们留下了一个乌托邦式的想象，让我们参与当下的具身政治——教学、教育、爱和以不同的方式生活。
