Queering Autoethnography articulates for the first time the
possibilities and politics of queering autoethnography, both in
theoretical terms and as an intervention into narratives and
cultures of apology, shame and fear. Despite the so-called
mainstreaming of same-sex relationships and trans* visibility, many
within gender's 'liminal zone' remain invisible and unrecognized,
existing somewhere outside of heteronormative relationships and
institutions. At the same time, the political and scholarly
potential of autoethnography is expanding, particularly in its
potential to evoke empathic and affective responses at a time of
public numbness, a practice crucial to making scholarly research
relevant to the work of global citizenship and crafting meaningful
lives. This volume considers flash points in contemporary scholarly
and popular culture such as queer memorializing and mourning;
unintelligibility and monstrosity; physical, digital and cultural
transformations of queer lives and bodies; the power and danger
wrought in the public assembly of queer people in a culture of
massacre; and the promise of queer futurities in the contemporary
moment. It also makes original theoretical contributions that
include concepts such as massacre culture, queer terror, mundane
annihilations, and activist affect. The authors write these ideas
in action, joining theory and story as a contact zone for analysis,
critique and change.
