If Heidegger is the philosopher of Being,
and Bloch is the philosopher of the Not-Yet,
then Derrida is, in many ways, the philosopher of the No-Longer.
But a "no-longer" that keeps returning.
This is why Muñoz is able to bring Bloch and Derrida together in such a compelling way:
—from Bloch comes the future;
—from Derrida comes the ghost.
And the result is almost a formula for Cruising Utopia:
the queer future is inhabited by the ghosts of past possibilities.
