Summary:Post-Continental Queer TheoryIn an interview with Paul Ennis in Post-Continental Voices, Adrian Ivakhiv is asked about his opinion concerning the future of post-continental philoso-phy and he responds that:In an increasingly global context, I’m not sure if either ‘continental phi-losophy’ or “analytical philosophy” have much of a future except as car-riers of certain legacies; they’re carry-overs from a time when philosophy seemed exclusive to the North Atlantic world.
