I'm new here and struggling with the concept of 'negative core'. This sounds so interesting I wish I understood it better. Is there a simple explanation for a novice like me?

Amazing! Leaves me with questions like. What does "a contradictory politics, that is a politics that recognizes a singular negativity at the core of our identities," look like? Where does it show up?

Off the bat I feel like such a politics would ("naturally"?) show up in communities that gather around loss (Rollins). Ironically Men/Woman's work? Christian maybe? What others? These are just the communities that gather around loss that I've been a part of, which show this contradictory politics.
