Trotz der Wandlungsprozesse innerhalb der Diskurse um Geschlecht und Sexualität bleibt die Diskriminierung queerer Identitäten ein virulentes Problem. Die Formen dieser Diskriminierung untersucht die Autorin in ihrer Studie. Anhand von Interviews zeichnet sie die Auswirkungen der Heteronormativität auf die Betroffenen nach und mittels einer Diskursanalyse untersucht sie die historischen Wandlungsprozesse in der Konstruktion queerer Identitäten. Daraus leitet die Autorin die fortbestehende Notwendigkeit konkreter politischer und gesellschaftlicher Emanzipation ab. Bärbel Schomers Buch ist ein ambitioniertes Werk, welches eindeutig mit viel Engagement und Aufwandv erfasst wurdeAnthropos 114.2019 "Die Dissertation von Bärbel Schomers bietet eine überaus lesenswerte, viele innovative Aspekte beinhaltende sowohl theoretisch als auch empirisch wohl fundierte Lektüre, die - da bin ich mir sicher - auch als Buchpublikation zu einem in unserer Gesellschaft noch immer weit verbreiteten Tabu ihren LeserInnenkreis finden wird."

Do opposites attract? Is desire lack? These assumptions have become so much a part of the ways in which we conceive desire that they are rarely questioned. Yet, what do they say about how homosexuality -- a desire for the same -- is viewed in our culture? This book takes as its starting point the absence of a suitable theory of homosexual desire, a theory not predicated on such heterological assumptions. It is an investigation into how such assumptions acquired meaning within homosexual discourse, and as such is offered as an interruption within the hegemony of desire. As such, homosexual desire constitutes the biggest challenge to Western binaric thinking in that it dissolves the sacred distinctions between Same/Other, Desire/Identification, subject/object, male/female. Homotopia? (composed in 1997 but not published until now) investigates the development of a homosexual discourse at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, and reveals how that discourse worked within heterosexualized models of desire. Andre Gide's Corydon, Edward Carpenter's The Intermediate Sex, and John Addington Symond's A Problem in Modern Ethics are all pseudo-scientific texts written by non-medical men of letters, and were, in their time, highly influential on the emerging homosexual discourse. The fourth text, the twenty-odd pages of Marcel Proust's novel A la recherche de temps perdu usually referred to as 'La Race maudite,' is the most problematic, in that it appeared under the guise of fiction. But Proust originally planned this 'essay-within-a-novel' to be published separately. In it, he offers a pseudo-scientific theory of male-male love. These four texts were published between the years 1891 and 1924, an historical moment when the concept of a distinct homosexual identity took shape within a medicalized discourse centered on essential identity traits and characteristics, and they all work within the rubric of science, contributing to a discourse which saw the human race divided into two distinct categories: heterosexuals and homosexuals. How did this division come about, and what were its effects? How was this discourse sustained, and how were the meanings it produced received? For men whose erotic interest was exclusively in other men, what did it mean to see oneself and one's desires as the outcome of biology rather than moral lapse?

Queer Insists is a memorial essay, a work of mourning, written for the queer theorist and performance scholar Jose Esteban Muñoz (1967-2013) shortly after his untimely death in December 2013. In a series of fragments, not unlike Roland Barthes's Mourning Diary, Michael O'Rourke shares memories of Muñoz, the stories and reflections of his friends in the wake of his passing, and readings of his work from Disidentifications to Cruising Utopia and beyond. O'Rourke argues that, for Muñoz, queer does not exist, per se, but rather insists, soliciting us from the future to-come. Muñoz reached towards teleopoietic worlds as he invented a queer theory we have yet to find, but are invited to glimpse.Among the Muñozian themes this chapbook discusses are hope, utopia, affect, punk rock, heresy, the undercommons, temporality, hauntology, forgetting, loss, ephemera, partage, sense, incommensurability, the event and democracy.In reading Muñoz as a Rogue Theorist, this book borrows many of the gifts we have received (and have yet to receive) from him, marking the force and luminescence of his thought, and insisting upon the rare and precious singularity of his work. Muñoz bequeaths to us a queer studies without condition which it is our duty to foster and to bear as we carry it and him into the unknowable futures of an indiscipline.
