Gesture has also been taken up within [[queer theory]], [[ethnic studies]] and their intersections in [[performance studies]], as a way to think about how the moving body gains social meaning. [[José Esteban Muñoz]] uses the idea of gesture to mark a kind of refusal of finitude and certainty and links gesture to his ideas of ephemera. [[José Esteban Muñoz|Muñoz]] specifically draws on the African-American dancer and [[drag queen]] performer [[Kevin Aviance]] to articulate his interest not in what queer gestures might mean, but what they might perform.<ref>Muñoz, José Esteban. ''Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity''. New York: New York University Press, 2009.
</ref> Juana María Rodríguez borrows ideas of [[Phenomenology (philosophy)|phenomenology]] and draws on Noland and Muñoz to investigate how gesture functions in queer sexual practices as a way to rewrite gender and negotiate power relations. She also connects gesture to [[Giorgio Agamben]]'s idea of "means without ends" to think about political projects of social justice that are incomplete, partial, and legibile within culturally and sociallysociailly defined spheres of meaning.<ref>Rodríguez, Juana María.
