ResumoThis essay situates Maggie Nelson’s 2015 memoir The Argonauts within the context of the 2015 US Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage and contemporary debates about the politics of antinormativity in queer studies. I argue that Nelson’s refusal of the binary of normative/antinormative is salutary, but that her reliance on Roland Barthes’s A Lover’s Discourse raises difficult questions about the meaning of historical forms of queer experience and feeling in the era of gay marriage.
