Helen Palmer examines the Russian formalist concept of
defamiliarisation from a contemporary critical perspective,
bringing together new materialist feminisms, experimental
linguistic formalism and queer theory. She explores how we might
radically restructure this gesture of 'making-strange' to create a
dialogue with the affirmations of 'deviant', 'errant',
'alternative' and 'multiple' modes of being which have become
synonymous with queer theory. Queer theory harnesses the creative
potential of indeterminacy in order to celebrate and affirm
infinite dimensions of sexuality and gender, creating space for all
human beings to express themselves without the classification or
judgement of prescriptive terminologies. Linguistic at its source,
but going beyond this limit just like defamiliarisation, the
liberating force of queer theory is derived from the removal of
terminological boundaries. Palmer asks what a 21st-century queer
defamiliarisation might look like and examines the extent to which
these affirmative or emancipatory discourses escape the paradoxes
of normativity or historicisation.
