ABSTRACT

To close, I review some of the contributions to the book and tie them together to explore not only the forms and sites of queer analysis that they demonstrate, but also the “absent presences”; the sites for queerness left (largely) unexplored. These absent presences serve as sources of possible new directions for queer examinations of AI to go in. In particular, I highlight the possibility of queer work that takes different objects, in examining the presence of queerness in social movements and material activism as well as cultural forms, and actions, by looking at the possibility of a “critical technical practice”—a hybridisation of doing and critiquing—that relies upon queer theory for the “critical.”
