Abstract

José Esteban Muñoz once described the problem of minoritarian knowledge and cultural production within a majoritarian sphere thus: Within majoritarian institutions the production of minoritarian knowledge is a project set up to fail. Mechanisms ensure that the production of such knowledge misfires insofar as it is misheard, misunderstood, and devalued. Politics are only possible when we acknowledge that dynamic.
