En la sucesión cronológica de las obras del alemán Ralf König se vislumbran muchos de los debates producidos en el interior del movimiento LGBTI y la irrupción de lo queer en el activismo a fines de los años ochenta. En ese sentido, una serie de obras clave de König respecto a este tema son el llamado ciclo de 'Kondom des Grauens', constituido por las historietas extensas Kondom des Grauens (1987) y Bis auf die Knochen (1990). En estas y otras obras se manifiesta el interés de König en retratar al colectivo LGBTI alemán en el marco de la globalización de la llamada 'cultura gay'. En el cruce entre elementos narrativos del cine y la literatura y la reapropiación y resignificación de modelos de masculinidad, König logra confrontar contra la heteronormatividad y problematizar la percepción de la industria cultural de las sexualidades disidentes

En las narraciones de Eduardo Mendicutti, mediante la resignificación de ciertos espacios normativos, se genera una obra literaria en la que se proyectan y problematizan cuestiones socio-culturales relativas a la diversidad afectivo-sexual. De modo tal que la misma constituye un ejemplo literario de los desplazamientos de un modelo gay-lésbico a uno queer. En la resignificación de estos espacios normativos, como los presentes en Yo no tengo la culpa de haber nacido tan sexy (1997), Eduardo Mendicutti está configurando parte de su estrategia ficcional para lograr que lo 'normativo' se torne 'abyecto'. En estas obras los lugares, espacios e identidades de género se multiplican, confunden y resignifican para lograr que el género y los modelos establecidos por una sociedad heteronormativa y heterohegémonica se quiebren y den lugar a expresiones literarias propias de lo queer, apartadas de lo 'gay normalizado' y más cercanas a los orígenes del movimiento LGBTI

En esta ponencia hablo de los cambios por que pasaron los estudios feministas y homosexuales en Brasil desde el início de los 1980, y como se dió la incorporación de los estudios de género, que, de la manera como ocurrieron en Brasil, provocaron una continuidad histórica entre los feminismos y estudios homosexuales de entonces, y los estudios de género con sus variaciones (del cuerpo, queer, etc). Para eso, trato de retomar algunos de los principales conceptos y obras que marcaron tales cambios en el panorama internacional y nacional, y como posibilitaron importantes avances no solo para los feminismos, como para las Ciéncias Sociales y Humanidades en general. De esa manera, pretendo comentar también, como cuerpo, género, raza, se relacionaron y entrecruzan en los distintos momentos de ese recorrido/trayecto, hasta investigaciones más recientes

La ponencia propone la construcción de una aproximación al estado del arte sobre las "otras" literaturas denominadas queer, gays y lesbianas, aparecidas y seleccionadas en compilaciones y antologías, procurando ubicar los principales lineamientos expuestos por los compiladores, editores o directores. Resaltar la construcción de un nuevo corpus y lo que se ha denominado pluralidad de cánones, en oposición a la reproducción de instituciones que se perpetúan a sí mismas e imponen valoraciones que refuerzan la superioridad de clase, cultura, género y nacionalidad. Literaturas de oposición a las tradiciones selectivas, que desequilibran las representaciones hegemónicas proponiendo otras lógicas de producción, comprensión y reproducción de sujetos, incidiendo precisamente en las formas de reproducción: el lenguaje, la producción de saber y las estructuras de poder

El presente trabajo busca trazar un itinerario personal sobre la conformación de un archivo de historieta queer. La historieta, como material de circulación marginal y asistemático se puede rastrear por las grietas de un sistema tradicional. En espacios digitales no formales, en comunidades de referencia y en la dispersión digital se pueden encontrar materiales inusuales, disidentes y subversivos. El trabajo busca reflexionar sobre la conformación (asistemática) de un archivo de trabajo sobre historieta queer, un material cultural con una doble marginación

This article explores articulations of queer identity in recent Australian queer student media. Print media is of particular importance to queer communities because, as Cover argues, it provides a crucial grounding for community development and a model of queer to guide the positioning of identity and activism. This article uses discourse analysis of queer student activists’ media representations of diversity and inclusiveness to investigate the articulations of queer identity in one specific context: metropolitan Australian universities. This reveals real-life appropriations of this contentious term and contributes to a genealogy of sexuality, documenting one visible moment in history.

One topic covered in Australian queer university student print media is the legalisation of same-sex marriage. The legalisation of same-sex marriage is currently generating much debate in Western queer communities. Same-sex marriage is legalised in some countries such as, Canada, Spain, the Netherlands and Belgium. It has been outlawed in Australia and most states in the US. Campaigns continue to reverse these restrictions. Other countries, such as the UK and New Zealand allow same-sex civil unions, providing couples with the rights afforded to married couples. There is a range of research documenting queer communities’ attitudes towards this issue (for example Lannutti 2005; Clarke, Burgoyne and Burns 2006; Yep, Lovaas and Elia 2003; Wolfson 1993; Egan and Sherrill 2005). These studies document broad community views as well as those of community sub-sections. For example, Yip (2004) looks at the views of gay and lesbian Christians on same-sex marriage and Lahey and Alderson (2004) document the experiences of same-sex couples who have gotten married or who are waiting to get married. Philosophical analyses consider the legalisation of same-sex marriage in relation to, for example, liberalism, equal rights, liberation, queer theory, citizenship, history, activism, religious discourse and feminism (Ferguson 2007; Jordan 2005; Josephson 2005; Lipton 2006; Sullivan and Chauncey 2005; Riggs 2007). This paper explores Australian queer university student activist media’s representation of same-sex marriage, and the debates surrounding its legalisation. It examines a selection of queer student media from four metropolitan Australian universities, and the 2003 and 2004 editions of national queer student publication, Querelle. This paper uses discourse analysis of queer student activists’ media representations of marriage to investigate this issue in one specific context – metropolitan Australian universities. This paper thus contributes to the history of queer activism, documenting what one group of young people say about the legalisation of same-sex marriage, and furthers research on queer perspectives of marriage and same-sex relationships.

This paper explores how visibly non-heteronormative bodies mediate policing experiences of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) young people, an area that has been mostly ignored in research about policing young people. Informed by interviews with 35 LGBT young people in Brisbane, Queensland, this paper addresses this gap by exploring how the non-heteronormative body mediates policing experiences of LGBT young people. Drawing on Foucault (1984), Butler (1990a), and other queer theory, the paper argues young non-heteronormative bodies visibly perform ‘queerness’, are read by police, and shape police-LGBT youth interactions. While this is complicated by looking at-risk (in terms of risk factors like homelessness, substance abuse), and looking risky (in terms of risk-taking or criminalised activities), the paper concludes noting how youthful LGBT bodies are regulated by police as non-heteronormative and deviant.

Heteronormative discourses provide the most common lens through which sexuality is understood within university curricula. This means that sexuality is discussed in terms of categories of identity, with heterosexuality accorded primacy and all ‘others’ indeed ‘othered.’ This paper reports on research carried out by the authors in a core first year university justice class, in which students of law and/or justice were required to engage with, discuss, and reflect on discourses on sexuality. It uses a poststructural framework to identify how students understand non-heterosexualities and how they personally relate to queer identities, in the sense that it asks questions about gender and sexual identity, and the discourses surrounding them. It was found that strongly negative attitudes to non-heterosexualities are quite resistant to challenge, and that some students express being confronted with queerness as a deep-seated fear of being drawn into otherness against their will. The result was that, while many students were able to unpack their attitudes towards queerness and engage in critical reflection and re-evaluation of their attitudes, students with strongly negative views towards non-heterosexualities conversely refused to engage at all, typically perceiving even the engagement itself as a threat to their core heterosexual identity. However, the authors caution against relying on the idea that students are simply “homophobic” to explain this reluctance, as this term does not necessarily account for the complexity of the discourses that inform students’ reactions in this context. This “homophobia” may simply be related to a way of performing gender and sexual identity as opposed to overt discrimination and fear.

The word “queer” is a slippery one; its etymology is uncertain, and academic and popular usage attributes conflicting meanings to the word. By the mid-nineteenth century, “queer” was used as a pejorative term for a (male) homosexual. This negative connotation continues when it becomes a term for homophobic abuse. In recent years, “queer” has taken on additional uses: as an all encompassing term for culturally marginalised sexualities – gay, lesbian, trans, bi, and intersex (“GLBTI”) – and as a theoretical strategy which deconstructs binary oppositions that govern identity formation. Tracing its history, the Oxford English Dictionary notes that the earliest references to “queer” may have appeared in the sixteenth century. These early examples of queer carried negative connotations such as “vulgar,” “bad,” “worthless,” “strange,” or “odd” and such associations continued until the mid-twentieth century. The early nineteenth century, and perhaps earlier, employed “queer” as a verb, meaning to “to put out of order,” “to spoil”, “to interfere with”. The adjectival form also began to emerge during this time to refer to a person’s condition as being “not normal,” “out of sorts” or to cause a person “to feel queer” meaning “to disconcert, perturb, unsettle.” According to Eve Sedgwick (1993), “the word ‘queer’ itself means across – it comes from the Indo-European root – twerkw, which also yields the German quer (traverse), Latin torquere (to twist), English athwart . . . it is relational and strange.” Despite the gaps in the lineage and changes in usage, meaning and grammatical form, “queer” as a political and theoretical strategy has benefited from its diverse origins. It refuses to settle comfortably into a single classification, preferring instead to traverse several categories that would otherwise attempt to stabilise notions of chromosomal sex, gender and sexuality.

Gay community media functions as a system with three nodes, in which the flows of information and capital theoretically benefit all parties: the gay community gains a sense of cohesion and citizenship through media; the gay media outlets profit from advertisers’ capital; and advertisers recoup their investments in lucrative ‘pink dollar’ revenue. But if a necessary corollary of all communication systems is error or noise, where—and what—are the errors in this system? In this paper we argue that the ‘error’ in the gay media system is Queerness, and that the gay media system ejects (in a process of Kristevan abjection) these Queer identities in order to function successfully. We examine the ways in which Queer identities are excluded from representation in such media through a discourse and content analysis of The Sydney Star Observer (Australia’s largest gay and lesbian paper). First, we analyse the way Queer bodies are excluded from the discourses that construct and reinforce both the ideal gay male body and the notions of homosexual essence required for that body to be meaningful. We then argue that abject Queerness returns in the SSO’s discourses of public health through the conspicuous absence of the AIDS-inflicted body (which we read as the epitome of the abject Queer), since this absence paradoxically conjures up a trace of that which the system tries to expel. We conclude by arguing that because the ‘Queer error’ is integral to the SSO, gay community media should practise a politics of Queer inclusion rather than exclusion.
