In this commentary I engage with Coleman and Bassi's significant intervention âDeconstructing Militant Manhoodâ. My intention is a further problematization of what they identify as the exclusionary orderings of powerful gendered and heteronormative scripts within left-political organizations that otherwise identify with a project of contesting the inequities associated with patriarchal modernity. I draw on Nietzsche in considering the production and exclusion of societal âtruthsâ, and the (im)possibilities of âspeaking truth to powerâ, when what is empowered is so precisely through dismissal of difference. I affirm the significant political project of âbecoming-otherâ, as a multiplicity of choices that do not collude with contemporary onto-epistemological order, at the same time as noting the seeming impasse of identity politics in shifting the juggernaut of broader disciplining structures.View full textDownload full textKeywords(anti-)globalization, Nietzsche, Other, patriarchy, subjectivity, truthRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14616742.2011.560041
