Proliferation of desire does not a politics make. A great deal of
progress has been made, and is being made, toward a transformation of
politics, towards its infusion with desire (sexual or otherwise); to a
large extent, desire is also still deployed in spite of politics. But
in any event, we have yet to see a politics that takes desire as its
object. We still thrive on the politics of indignation; we have not
yet had done with judgment.
