“In a hundred years of movies, homosexuality has only rarely been depicted on the screen. When it did appear, it was there as something to laugh at, or something to pity, or even something to fear. These were fleeting images, but they were unforgettable, and they left a lasting legacy. Hollywood, that great maker of myths, taught straight people what to think about gay people… and gay people what to think about themselves.” (The Celluloid Closet, 1996)

Ok but the thing about the gif from Ben-Hur (the two men entwining arms as they drink) is that William Wyler (the director) and the actor who played the antagonist (I can’t remember his name for the life of me) sat down and talked through the homoerotic implications of the scene and they just…didn’t tell Charlton Heston? Even now, nine years after I did that New Mexican literature project in high school, that strikes me as incredible

Il mio corpo, in realtà, è sempre altrove. È legato a tutti gli altrove del mondo. E, a dire il vero, è altrove solo nel mondo. Perché è intorno a esso che le cose si dispongono, è rispetto a esso, e rispetto a esso come rispetto a un sovrano, che ci sono un sopra, un sotto, una destra, una sinistra, un avanti, un dietro, un vicino, un lontano. Il corpo è il punto zero del mondo, là dove i percorsi e gli spazi si incrociano. Il corpo non è da nessuna parte.

Michel Foucault
