"Queer South Rising: Voices of a Contested Place is a collection of essays about the South by people who identify as both Southern and queer. The collection's name hints at the provocative nature of its contents: placing Queer and South side-by-side challenges readers to think about each word differently. The idea that a queer South might rise undermines the Battle Cry of "The South's Gonna rise Again!" embedded in the collective memory of a conservative South. This rising does not refer to a kind of Enlightenment transcendence where the region achieves some sort of distinctive prominence. It suggests instead ruptures, like furrows in a plowed field where seeds are sown. The rising Whitlock envisions is akin to breaking and turning over meanings of Southern place. The title further serves to remind readers of the complexities of the place as it calls into question notions of a universal, homogenous LGBT, queer, identity. Queer South Rising is the first truly interdisciplinary collection of essays on the South and queerness that deliberately aims for multiple approaches to the topics. This collection is intended for a wide audience of "regular" folks. Essays explore multiple intersections of Southern place--religion, politics, sexuality, race, education--that transcend regional boundaries. This book counters conventional scholarly texts; it invites all readers interested in the South and queer themes to engage with the narratives it holds--and perhaps question their assumptions. Whitlock has sought, in collecting these essays, to seek out a diverse group of authors--across disciplines, professions, and interests--to shatter perceptions about a nostalgic, romanticized Southern culture in general."--Publsiher's description.

Vorangetrieben von »Schwulen« selbst wurde seit dem 19. Jahrhundert das Konzept schwuler Identität durchgesetzt. Noch heute gelten »Sichtbarkeit« und »Identität« weithin als Schlüsselbegriffe politischer Kämpfe Homosexueller um Anerkennung und Respekt. Jedoch wird aktuell immer deutlicher, dass auf diese Weise ein Ordnungsregime entsteht, das auf Geschlechternorm, Weißsein, Bürgerlichkeit und Paarbeziehung basiert. So werden beispielsweise Queers of Color und Queers mit abweichenden Lebensentwürfen marginalisiert.Die Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes hinterfragen die Gewissheit, dass eine einheitliche schwule Identität existiert, aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven: bewegungsgeschichtlich, wissenschaftstheoretisch und mit Blick auf aktuelle gesellschaftliche Auseinandersetzungen um Homonationalismus und rassistische Gentrifizierung.Gay Visibility – Gay Identity. Critical PerspectivesIn the 19th century »gays« themselves pushed forward the concept of gay identity. Until today »visibility« and »identity« count as key terms in the homosexuals’ fights for recognition and respect. Recently it has become increasingly clear, however, that these concepts support a regime of order based on gender norms, whiteness, bourgeois ideals and the predominance of the couple, thus marginalizing, among others, queers of color and queers with alternative lifestyles.The authors of the book question the existence of a single gay identity from different perspectives: the history of the gay movement, the philosophy of science, and the analysis of current social controversies about homo-nationalism and racist gentrification.
