The ArtsOctober 2024Queer cinema in contemporary France
Five directors
by Todd Reeser
Jacques Martineau, Olivier Ducastel, Alain Guiraudie, Sébastien Lifshitz and Céline Sciamma. The films of these five major French directors exemplify queer cinema in the twenty-first century. Comprehensive in scope, Queer cinema in contemporary France traces the development of the meaning of queer across these directors' careers, from their earliest, often unknown films to their later, major films with wide international release. Whether having sex on the beach or kissing in the high school swimming pool, these cinematic characters create or embody forward-looking, open-ended and optimistic forms of queerness and modes of living, loving and desiring. Whether they are white, beur or black, whether they are lesbian, gay, trans* or queer, they open up hetero- and cisnormativity to new ways of being a gendered subject.

December 2019Betrachtungen zur Schwulenfrage
by Didier Eribon, Achim Russer, Bernd Schwibs
Als Didier Eribons Betrachtungen zur Schwulenfrage 1999 in Frankreich erschienen, wurde das als Ereignis gefeiert. Schnell etabliert sich das Buch als Klassiker und Gründungsdokument der Queer Studies. Eribon legt darin eine neue Analyse der Bildung von Minderheitenidentitäten vor, an deren Anfang die Beleidigung steht. Es geht um die Macht der Sprache und der Stigmatisierung, um die Gewalt verletzender Worte im Rahmen einer allgemeinen Theorie der Gesellschaft und der Mechanismen ihrer Reproduktion. Nun liegt das Werk erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vor. Eribons Analyse setzt ein mit einer fulminanten »Sozialanthropologie« der gelebten Erfahrung, in der zentrale Etappen der Konstitution einer homosexuellen Identität nachgezeichnet werden. Auf sie folgt eine historische Rekonstruktion der literarischen und intellektuellen Dissidenz sowie der »homosexuellen« Rede – von den Oxforder Hellenisten in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts über Oscar Wilde und Marcel Proust bis zu André Gide im 20. Jahrhundert. Die Untersuchung mündet in einer Neuinterpretation von Michel Foucaults philosophischem Denken über Sexualität, Macht und Widerstand. In der brillanten Verknüpfung von Soziologie, Literatur und Philosophie bietet dieses große Buch mehr denn je Werkzeuge für all jene, die über Differenz und Emanzipation nachdenken wollen.

The ArtsSeptember 2019Queer Objects
by Chris Brickell, Judith Collard
Queer lives give rise to a vast array of objects: the things we fill our houses with, the gifts we share with our friends, the commodities we consume at work and at play, the clothes and accessories we wear, and the analogue and digital technologies we use to communicate with one another. But what makes an object queer? The sixty-three chapters in Queer Objects consider this question in relation to lesbian, gay and transgender communities across time, cultures and space. In this unique international collaboration, well-known and newer writers traverse world history to write about items ranging from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings and Roman artefacts to political placards, snapshots, sex toys and the smartphone. Fabulous, captivating, transgressive.

The ArtsMarch 2021Queer exceptions
Solo performance in neoliberal times
by Stephen Greer
Queer exceptions is a study of contemporary solo performance in the UK and Western Europe that explores the contentious relationship between identity, individuality and neoliberalism. With diverse case studies featuring the work of La Ribot, David Hoyle, Oreet Ashery, Bridget Christie, Tanja Ostojic, Adrian Howells and Nassim Soleimanpour, the book examines the role of singular or 'exceptional' subjects in constructing and challenging assumed notions of communal sociability and togetherness, while drawing fresh insight from the fields of sociology, gender studies and political philosophy to reconsider theatre's attachment to singular lives and experiences. Framed by a detailed exploration of arts festivals as encapsulating the material, entrepreneurial circumstances of contemporary performance-making, this is the first major critical study of solo work since the millennium.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2021De-centering queer theory
Communist sexuality in the flow during and after the Cold War
by Bogdan Popa, Gurminder Bhambra
De-centering queer theory seeks to reorient queer theory to a different conception of bodies and sexuality derived from Eastern European Marxism. The book articulates a contrast between the concept of the productive body, which draws its epistemology from Soviet and avant-garde theorists, and Cold War gender, which is defined as the social construction of the body. The first part of the book concentrates on the theoretical and visual production of Eastern European Marxism, which proposed an alternative version of sexuality to that of western liberalism. In doing so it offers a historical angle to understand the emergence not only of an alternative epistemology, but also of queer theory's vocabulary. The second part of the book provides a Marxist, anti-capitalist archive for queer studies, which often neglects to engage critically with its liberal and Cold War underpinnings.
