The introduction discusses two propositions. The first is of perversion as a queer theory of political economy. The author maintains that discourses of social and cultural deterioration, deviation, or perversion as a national threat—whether sexual or of a larger moral concern affecting the social and biological reproduction of the body politic—have their roots in political and economic crises. The second concerns the radical spatiotemporal possibilities of moral rupture. Rather than lamenting the end of the nation’s survival with interlocutors, the author locates radical potential for world-making at these very ends. If many Armenians in the Republic of Armenia in 2012–13, were struck by hopelessness in the face of decades of entrenched social, political, and economic violence—articulated as the aylandakutyun (moral perversion) of the nation—the author argues that this also created a context for the possibilities of radically transforming moral worlds.
