Queer Praxis (eBook, ePUB)

Questions for LGBTQ Worldmaking

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Amidst rapid advances of mainstream gay and lesbian platforms, questions of essential sexual identities, queered rituals of family, queered notions of intimacy, queer considerations of time, and the possibility and value of queered systems of relation are largely absent. Resisting the public face of a normative and homogenous gay and lesbian community, and embracing a broadened conception of queerness, this book brings together 29 writers - a diverse community of scholars, lovers, and activists - to explore queer theory and embodied experiences within interpersonal relations and society at large. Enacting a critical intervention into the queer theoretical landscape, the book offers an alternative engagement where contributors centralize lived experience. Theoretical engagements are generated in relation and in dialogue with one another exploring collectivity, multiple points of entrance, and the living nature of critical theory. Readers gain familiarity with key concepts in queer thought, but also observe how these ideas can be navigated and negotiated in the social world. Queer Praxis serves as a model for queer relationality, enlisting transnational feminist, critical communication, and performance studies approaches to build dialogue across and through differing subjectivities.

Rezensionen

«As the title suggests, Queer Praxis explores how queerness is done/performed/ constructed as one navigates the simultaneously troubling and joyous terrain of queer relations. Through explorations of cultural sites such as marriage, friendship, and coalitional politics (to name a few), the reader is invited into an ongoing conversation of what it means to be/long as queer. This edited volume embodies a dialogue about queer intersections and the contradictions, connections, and fissures that emerge within and across LGBTQ communities as we maneuver heteronormative, homonormative, and queer sensibilities.» (Julia Johnson, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse)
