Abstract In a 56-point performance of what she calls queertext , Rhodes explicates the tensions between the The Word and queertext. The Word enacts its dominance through grammar and extends its discipline through a host of ills including English-onlyism, racism, heterosexism, and capitalism; queertext, on the other hand, resists textual dominance through its emphasis on the material, erotic realities of our bodies. Rhodes finds a unique space for queertexts online, claiming that the hyperlink is an erotic textual moment when idea and action collide.
