The ArtsOctober 2024Queer cinema in contemporary France
Five directors
by Todd Reeser
Jacques Martineau, Olivier Ducastel, Alain Guiraudie, Sébastien Lifshitz and Céline Sciamma. The films of these five major French directors exemplify queer cinema in the twenty-first century. Comprehensive in scope, Queer cinema in contemporary France traces the development of the meaning of queer across these directors' careers, from their earliest, often unknown films to their later, major films with wide international release. Whether having sex on the beach or kissing in the high school swimming pool, these cinematic characters create or embody forward-looking, open-ended and optimistic forms of queerness and modes of living, loving and desiring. Whether they are white, beur or black, whether they are lesbian, gay, trans* or queer, they open up hetero- and cisnormativity to new ways of being a gendered subject.

December 2019Betrachtungen zur Schwulenfrage
by Didier Eribon, Achim Russer, Bernd Schwibs
Als Didier Eribons Betrachtungen zur Schwulenfrage 1999 in Frankreich erschienen, wurde das als Ereignis gefeiert. Schnell etabliert sich das Buch als Klassiker und Gründungsdokument der Queer Studies. Eribon legt darin eine neue Analyse der Bildung von Minderheitenidentitäten vor, an deren Anfang die Beleidigung steht. Es geht um die Macht der Sprache und der Stigmatisierung, um die Gewalt verletzender Worte im Rahmen einer allgemeinen Theorie der Gesellschaft und der Mechanismen ihrer Reproduktion. Nun liegt das Werk erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vor. Eribons Analyse setzt ein mit einer fulminanten »Sozialanthropologie« der gelebten Erfahrung, in der zentrale Etappen der Konstitution einer homosexuellen Identität nachgezeichnet werden. Auf sie folgt eine historische Rekonstruktion der literarischen und intellektuellen Dissidenz sowie der »homosexuellen« Rede – von den Oxforder Hellenisten in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts über Oscar Wilde und Marcel Proust bis zu André Gide im 20. Jahrhundert. Die Untersuchung mündet in einer Neuinterpretation von Michel Foucaults philosophischem Denken über Sexualität, Macht und Widerstand. In der brillanten Verknüpfung von Soziologie, Literatur und Philosophie bietet dieses große Buch mehr denn je Werkzeuge für all jene, die über Differenz und Emanzipation nachdenken wollen.

The ArtsSeptember 2019Queer Objects
by Chris Brickell, Judith Collard
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.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2026A queer scrapbook
Britain and Ireland since 1945
by Justin Bengry, Matt Cook, Rebecca Jennings, E-J Scott
A beautifully illustrated compendium of LGBTIQ+ life. A queer scrapbook offers a treasure trove of LGBTIQ+ histories from across Britain and Ireland. Packed with materials, from interviews and newspaper articles to photographs and flyers, the book explores urban, rural and regional queer life since 1945. Commentaries and short essays introduce a changing queer landscape, spotlighting four broad themes: home and family, sex and socialising, arts and culture and politics and activism. The book delves into the meaning and experiences of domesticity and parenting and explores the sometimes unexpected places LGBTIQ+ people met to have fun. It examines the importance of creative work in forming community and identity and shows how people fought injustice and advocated for equal rights. Collecting has been a way for the marginalised to explore and assert identity and community. A queer scrapbook vividly illustrates the diversity of queer and trans lives across the British and Irish isles since the Second World War.
