A special issue of GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies
Futurity, innocence, and childish subversion-as concepts, as
frameworks-have yet to catch up to where the child has moved in the
present century. The contributors to this issue explore topics that
are both vital and challenging for current queer studies, including
paradoxical exportations of the U.S. "innocent" child abroad, the
queer child under same-sex marriage law, child revolutionaries'
actions in Egypt, and the colonial afterlife of the boarding school
for indigenous children. Following the twists and turns of children
now, contributors confront how race, gender, and sexuality are made
to live and grow in children's bodies. Contributors Paul Amar,
Julian Gill-Peterson, Clifford J. Rosky, Rebekah Sheldon, Kathryn
Bond Stockton, Mary Zaborskis
Misfits are often confused with outcasts. Yet misfits rather find
themselves in-between that which fits and that which does not. This
volume is interested in this slipperiness of misfits and explores
the blockages and the promises of such movements, as well as the
processes and conditions that produce misfits, the means that
enable them to undo their denomination as misfits, and the
practices that turn those who fit into misfits, and vice versa.
This collection of essays on misfit children produces transmissible
motions across and engages in scholarly conversations that unfold
betwixt and between in order to make rigid concepts twist and
twirl, and ultimately fail to fit.
