This Companion provides a guide to queer inquiry in literary and cultural studies. The essays represent new and emerging areas, including transgender studies, indigenous studies, disability studies, queer of color critique, performance studies, and studies of digital culture. Rather than being organized around a set of literary texts defined by a particular theme, literary movement, or demographic, this volume foregrounds a queer critical approach that moves across a wide array of literary traditions, genres, historical periods, national contexts, and media. This book traces the intellectual and political emergence of queer studies, addresses relevant critical debates in the field, provides an overview of queer approaches to genres, and explains how queer approaches have transformed understandings of key concepts in multiple fields.
"Queering the Color Line" transforms previous understandings of how
homosexuality was "invented" as a category of identity in the
United States beginning in the late nineteenth century. Analyzing a
range of sources, including sexology texts, early cinema, and
African American literature, Siobhan B. Somerville argues that the
emerging understanding of homosexuality depended on the context of
the black/white "color line," the dominant system of racial
distinction during this period. This book thus critiques and
revises tendencies to treat race and sexuality as unrelated
categories of analysis, showing instead that race has historically
been central to the cultural production of homosexuality.
