Queer Impact and Practices brings together chapters arising from
the third annual Queering Paradigms conference. Queer Theory is
still evolving and extending the range of its enquiry. It maps out
new territories via radical contestations of the categories of
gender and sexuality. This approach de-centers assumptions of
heteronormativity, but at the same time critiques a new
homonormativity. This book incorporates the work of queer theorists
and queer activists who are seeking new boundaries to cross as well
as new disciplines and social relations to queer. The sections of
this book interrogate the impact of Queer Theory in studies of
culture, nationalism, ethnography, linguistics, psychology,
intimacy and activism. Chapters address contemporary theorizing
about gay citizenship and 'homonationalism' as well as a critique
of gay visibility. Other topics include the symbolics of queer
subversion and transgression in performers who transgress gender
and sexuality codes. Queer activists extend their analysis into the
world of punk, Buddhist religious teaching and Native Studies. This
book demonstrates that Queer Theory, as well as being a
disposition, is now deployed by many researchers as a legitimate
framework of analysis that questions many of the categories,
constructs and relationships we encounter in twenty-first century
society.
