erotics of resistance

my new favourite phrase, from a kickass article by Richard Goldstein in the The Nation. He talks about tantalising glints of "joyous dissent" and "gender freedom" in hip-hop and pop culture. As when Kanye West said recently on MTV:

Everybody in hip-hop discriminates against gay people. Matter of fact, the exact opposite word of 'hip-hop', I think, is 'gay'.....And I wanna just come on TV and just tell my rappers, just tell my friends, 'Yo stop it, fam.'

If you didn't already admire him for "George Bush doesn't like black people," you gotta admire him now.
