Queer lives give rise to a vast array of objects: the things we
fill our houses with, the gifts we share with our friends, the
commodities we consume at work and at play, the clothes and
accessories we wear, and the analogue and digital technologies we
use to communicate with one another. But what makes an object
queer? The sixty-three chapters in Queer Objects consider this
question in relation to lesbian, gay and transgender communities
across time, cultures and space. In this unique international
collaboration, well-known and newer writers traverse world history
to write about items ranging from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings
and Roman artefacts to political placards, snapshots, sex toys and
the smartphone. Fabulous, captivating, transgressive. -- .
Fruits of the most recent research into the "long" thirteenth
century. The twin themes of authority and resistance are the focus
of this volume, explored through topics such as landholding and
secular politics, the church and religious orders and contemporary
imagery and its reception. Together, thepapers combine to
illustrate the variety of ways in which historians of the "long"
thirteenth century are able to examine the practices and norms
through which individuals and institutions sought to establish
their authority, andthe ways in which these were open to challenge.
