I am reminded of an article by Carolyn Dinshaw, who, in commenting on the queerness of the kiss between Gawain and Bertilak in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, noted how the heteronormative text is 'preoccupied with keeping the depths and fissures' of queerness 'from bursting forth' from the men's kiss, as its words labour 'to limit the significance of its signs, the nature of its characters, [and] the meanings of their actions', in order to reduce a 'polyvalent sign' to 'monovalent meaning.' It is precisely the queer work of producing polyvalent meanings from 'dungeon intimacies' that I hope my actions may accomplish.
