Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity

Notes

191 Notes Notes to the Introduction 1. This brief biographical sketch of Bloch draws heavily on Vincent Geoghegan ’s excellent Ernst Bloch (New York: Routledge, 1996). Although Cruising Utopia employs some of Bloch’s critical thinking, it nonetheless does not pretend to anything like a comprehensive introduction to Blochian theory. Indeed that book has already been written, and it is Geoghegan’s. 2. Ernst Bloch, The Principle of Hope, 3 vols., trans.
