Queer Theory (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Ben Trott

Inhalt: Queer Theory What is queer theory? What makes a politics, or a cultural practice, queer? What are the relationships between queer and feminist theories, histories and practices? What, if anything, distinguishes queer from LGBT social movements? What are the main differences between Transgender Studies and Queer Studies? How repressed are we, and how are we repressed? And does the ‘governing’ of sexuality really work primarily through repression? And if not, how are sexual and gender norms reproduced? How are they ‘troubled’? What is the relationship between sex and gender? And between sex, gender and desire? What does it mean to say heterosexuality is ‘compulsory’? What is homo-normativity? What is meant by homo-nationalism? Is there a difference between masculinity and maleness? How does queer theory draw from (and how has it contributed to) other critical approaches – from post-colonial theory to critical legal studies? What exactly does intersectionality mean, and where does it ‘intersect’ with Black feminisms, or with what has been called queer of colour critique? How has shame shaped LGBT and queer movements? What role can the study of affect and emotion play in queer scholarship? Over the course of the semester, we will address these and other questions. You will be introduced to the key texts, core issues, history, and development of queer theory. The semester begins by examining what defines queer theory, including in terms of its origins within – and its points of divergence from – Gay and Lesbian Studies, LGBT social movements, feminist theory, politics and scholarship. We will examine the relationship between non-normative gender expressions and gay and lesbian life. And we will look at how issues of race, ethnicity, class, gender, nationality and citizenship disrupt any effort to provide univocal accounts of gay and lesbian identity, history and culture. Later in the semester, we explore the role the AIDS crisis played in queer theory and politics, and the role of emotion and affect in anti-AIDS activism by groups like ACT UP. We look at the role of shame in queer life, and recent debates around the perceived complicity of some queers in reproducing nationalisms. We will also examine some of the queer critiques of same-sex marriage.
