Shame has often been considered a threat to democratic politics,
and was used to degrade and debase sex radicals and political
marginals. But certain forms of shame were also embraced by
19th-century activists in an attempt to reverse entrenched power
dynamics. Bogdan Popa brings together Ranciere's techniques of
disrupting inequality with a queer curiosity in the performativity
of shame to show how 19th-century activists denaturalised
conventional beliefs about sexuality and gender. This study fills a
glaring absence in political theory by undertaking a genealogy of
radical queer interventions that predate the 20th century.
