"Sillman–a queer feminist who has dedicated the bulk of her career to abstract painting–articulates this notion as follows: 'What would be much more interesting than the strong opposition to identity politics would be a more interesting identity politics, the formation of more questions about other people's actual experience and perceptions, conducting more nuanced examinations of subjectivities, local culture.' Her comment brings to mind Aimé Césaire's famous remark, made in a 1956 letter: 'I'm not going to confine myself to some narrow particularism. But I don't intend either to become lost in a disembodied, universalism...I have a different idea of a universal. It is a universal rich with all that is particular, rich with all the particulars there are, the deepening of each particular, the coexistence of them all.'"

-Maggie Nelson, from On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint
