Abstract:Drawing on the writings of Georges Bataille and Leo Bersani, this essay reexamines the long-held association of homosexuality with a radical erotics of death from the vantage of queer of color critique. While notions of suicidal ecstasy, self-shattering, and masochistic jouissance have played a central role in the theorization of homosexuality's transgressive potential, accounts that center homosexuality's desubjectivizing negativity have often been charged with a failure to attend to questions of racial difference and the limits they pose for an erotics and ethics grounded in risk and violence. This essay sets philosophical and psychoanalytic readings of (homo)sexuality's thanatology against the necropolitical realities of racist violence in order to think through, while refusing to abandon, the possibility of a nonwhite erotics of self-shattering. To do so, it analyzes the case of Luka Magnotta, the so-called Montreal gay cannibal killer, who murdered, decapitated, and committed acts of cannibalism and necrophilia on the corpse of Jun Lin, an Asian international student. In reading this case, however, the essay aims not only to demonstrate the racialized distribution of risk but also to show how racist violence itself might stem from the disavowal of the urge to dissolution that homosexuality is said to represent. The essay suggests, in turn, that this disavowal might be read as part of the ongoing conversion of homosexuality into a form of life, a process usefully illuminated by the phenomenon of gay twinning, in which gay men pursue sexual relations with what appear to be their mirror images made flesh. Grounded in notions of sameness and self-duplication, twinning dramatizes the abnegation of homosexuality's suicidal erotics and demonstrates the relations of complicity that bind the work of self-preservation to the reproduction of orders of racial difference that threaten to erupt into murderous violence.

死亡的代理人和对象

摘要：本文借鉴乔治·巴塔耶 (Georges Bataille) 和利奥·贝尔萨尼 (Leo Bersani) 的著作，从色彩批评酷儿的角度重新审视了长期以来同性恋与激进的死亡色情之间的联系。虽然自杀狂喜、自我粉碎和自虐享乐的概念在同性恋的越界潜力的理论化中发挥了核心作用，但以同性恋的去主观化消极为中心的说法经常被指责未能注意种族差异及其限制的问题。构成基于风险和暴力的色情和道德。这篇文章将（同性恋）性行为的死亡学的哲学和精神分析解读与种族主义暴力的死亡政治现实进行了对比，以便进行思考，同时拒绝放弃，自我粉碎的非白人色情的可能性。为此，它分析了所谓的蒙特利尔同性恋食人杀手卢卡·马格诺塔 (Luka Magnotta) 的案件，他谋杀、斩首并在亚裔国际学生林俊的尸体上实施了食人和恋尸行为。然而，在阅读这个案例时，这篇文章不仅旨在展示风险的种族化分布，而且还展示了种族主义暴力本身如何源于对同性恋所代表的解散冲动的否认。这篇文章反过来表明，这种否认可能被解读为同性恋不断转变为一种生活形式的一部分，这一过程被同性恋双胞胎现象有用地阐明，在这个过程中，男同性恋者追求与似乎是同性恋的人发生性关系。他们的镜像变成了肉体。
