<i>Weh</i>, <i>talaga</i>?! Camp, queer body, and the posthuman

Queer subjectivity invites discussions around gender performativity, culture, narratives of “coming out,” and identity politics. Postcolonial queer subjects—like those emerging from the Philippines—require additional layers of critique attending to language, practice, and resistance. This brief reflection will explore the place of camp, rampa, and posthuman worldviews in the constitution of Filipino queer bodies. It argues that as queer narratives become global—and normalized— camp and rampa offer a place where queerness can both expand critical theology and imaginations of the human.
