Abstract
This conversation brings up questions about the problematic nature of the terms global, local and ‘authenticity’.1 It engages with ideas of the translocal; neoliberalism and discourses of austerity and gentrification; of HIV and AIDS; and mourning, yearning and nostalgia. It notes the temporalisation in queer discourses that involves queer looking backward and forward, and pivots on the ideas of domesticating or ‘de-fanging’ (in Margrit’s terms) crip/queer performance if/when it becomes ‘successful’ (that is, enters a mainstream).
