How many feminist stories are about rooms, about who occupies them, about making room?...Willfulness could be rethought as a style of politics: a refusal to look the other way from what has already been looked over.

Without the ability to imagine, people remain stuck, unable to move into a place of power and possibility.” -bell hooks, 2010 “Thus, instructions and rules about writing are not neutral or innocent guidelines, but are shaped by political forces. The contemporary neoliberal ideology, driven by ratings, rankings, and counting, risks suppressing the critical potential of the contribution of writing methodologies in feminist studies and other critical fields.” -Mona Livholts, 2012 “Flirtation might therefore be seen as model for practices of criticism - where it seems necessary and germane - to decenter the paranoid structures of serious analysis, or indeed to re-inflect them with a flirtatious, and playful, form of knowing.” -Gavin Butt, 2007 “Camp taste is, above all, a mode of enjoyment, of appreciation - not judgement,. Camp is generous. It wants to enjoy. Camp taste is a kind of love, love for human nature.. It relishes, rather than judges, the little triumphs and awkward intensities of ”character”... Camp is a tender feeling.” -Susan Sontag, 1966 “No less acute than a paranoid position, no less realistic, no less attached to a project of survival, and neither less nor more delusional or fantasmic, the reparative reading position undertakes a different range of affects, ambitions, and risks. What we can best learn from such practices are, perhaps, the many ways selves and communities succeed in extracting sustenance from the objects of a culture - even of a culture whose avowed desire has often been not to sustain them.” -Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, 2003 DESIRABLE RECONSTRUCTIONS OF THE WHONESS AND HERENESS OF ARCHITECTURE CRITICAL FICTIONS QUEER & FEMINIST THEORY ‘THE FLIRT ¼ PEDAGOGIC GENEROSITY CONVERSATION REPARATIVE ACTS ing Ro ati able esira Rossi le kind in ovati eno es ( un )de Ren the ( u R of th unters of unte enc c o u en de d a di ff a learn fro communitie st s space attac a delusiona d ifferent ra from such ties succee ee “No less acute tached to a proje onal or fant asmic, th t range of aff ec ects , ch pr ac cti ti ces e e d in st s s spa -Eve K K o o so acute than a paranoid p posit project of s ur ur viva , the e rep s t ‘ rep ara t i i v v e v edo og gogy nve er rsation Casa ati o o n n of oom speci f R Ro Casa Unifami eci ficat amil ia cation ns iar culture - even n o of a to sus tain t th hem.” “N “ liar ar r e e y d Ros le ama dag Reno e (un e B (Fa air the on t ose e d ict, ilities unte n o in ati esi de air), the po e enc ms an r i itic of it Vani in clo als an b ow as t,. ve hs g.” th anticip R f the m.” del d diffe fro tie ven m st s spac ng N N N N N N N N ambitio haps, ance f e has acute projec c, the N ttach iona nt ra uch ee d separatist t ofsky Sedgwick K could be r th Casa pecif ami cat ia ‘sit ‘em a C ct si Brai d C mo s -R Ro it o cts ¼ -R F dic su ‘nom a ar r ‘Scholarly Flirtations ¼ Dethroning the serious in architecture
