a public intellectual culture changes the nature of thought.
Sexual knowledges can be made cumulative. They circulate.

practices or pleasures, as Michel Foucault noticed when he

tastes can still recognize that their own bodies have been
remapped by participation in a queer sexual culture, that
each touch, gesture, or sensation condenses lessons learned
not only through one’s own experience, but through the experience
of others."
