Queer in Europe takes stock of the intellectual and social status
and treatment of queer in the New Europe of the twenty-first
century, addressing the ways in which the Anglo-American term and
concept 'queer' is adapted in different national contexts, where it
takes on subtly different overtones, determined by local political
specificities and intellectual traditions. Bringing together
contributions by carefully chosen experts, this book explores key
aspects of queer in a range of European national contexts, namely:
Belgium, Cyprus, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy,
The Nordic Region, The Netherlands, Poland, Russia and Spain.
Rather than prescribing a universalizing definition, the book
engages with a wide spectrum of what is meant by 'queer', as each
chapter negotiates the contested border between direct queer
activist action based on identity categories, and more plural queer
strategies that call these categories into question. The first
volume in English devoted to the exploration of queer in Europe,
this book makes an important intervention in contemporary queer
studies.
