Pursuing the discursive or material effects of relational
queerness, this book reflects on how objects can illuminate,
affect, and animate queer modes of being. In the early 1990s the
queer theorist Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick defined queer as "multiply
transitive . . . relational and strange," rather than a fixed
identity. In spite of this, much of the queer theoretical
scholarship of the last three decades has used queer as a synonym
for anti-normative sexual identities. The contributions to this
volume return to the idea of transitivity, exploring what happens
when queer is thought of as a turning toward or turning away from a
diverse range of objects, including bodily waste; frozen cats;
archival ephemera; the writing of Virginia Woolf; the Pop art of
Ray Johnson; the podcast S-Town; and Maggie Nelson's memoir The
Argonauts. Relevant to those studying queer theory, this book will
also be of wider interest to those researching identity and the way
in which it is represented in a variety of artistic disciplines.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki.
