Staging a much-needed conversation between two often-segregated
fields, this issue addresses the promising future of queer and area
studies as collaborative formations. Within queer studies, the turn
to geopolitics has challenged the field's logics of time, space,
and culture, which have routinely been rooted in the United States.
For area studies, the focus on diaspora, forced migration, and
other transnational trajectories has unmoored the geopolitical from
the stability of nations as organizing concepts. The contributors
to this issue seek to imagine and broker conversations between the
two fields in which "area" becomes the form through which
epistemologies of empire and market are critiqued. Histories of
debt bondage; sexuality, and indentured labor; Afro-pessimism in
African studies; trans theater facing obdurate transits; religion
and the politics of Dalit modernity; the biopolitics of maiming:
these are some of the conduits through which the authors approach a
queer geopolitics. Contributors: Anjali Arondekar, Ashley Currier,
Aliyah Khan, Keguro Macharia, Therese Migraine-George, Maya
Mikdashi, Geeta Patel, Jasbir K. Puar, Lucinda Ramberg, Neferti
Tadiar, Diana Taylor, Ronaldo Wilson
