Terrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times
Abstract
People are now coming out of the closet on the word empire,'' said the conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer.''The fact is no country has been as dominant culturally, economically, technologically and militarily in the history of the world since the Roman Empire.''The metaphor of coming out is striking, part of a broader trend of appropriating the language of progressive movements in the service of empire.How outrageous to apply the language of gay pride to a military power that demands that its soldiers stay in the closet.-AmyKaplan, ''Violent Belongings and the Question of Empire Today''

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
