The expression »to come out of the closet« calls for an analysis of how language and notional as well as social spaces interact and intersect to constitute »queer«. This performative book, a product of artistic research, is an exploration of the proverbial closet through linguistics, queer, and postcolonial theory. It is a project in which opacity, minority, and improvisation happen on the levels of content, analysis, and typography. Eleven queer slangs from around the world become part of an exploration of queerness and knowledge from the Periphery through autoethnography, Édouard Glissant's concept of opacity, José Muñoz's disidentifications, and Gloria Anzaldúa's performative writing. Theory, personal accounts, and art are interwoven to offer an interdisciplinary reading of the slangs as queer methods of survival and resistance.

Die Aufführung und Repräsentation von Gender und Diversity im Spannungsfeld von Ästhetik und Institutionen folgt einem komplexen Wechselspiel. Aktuelle Initiativen der Stadt- und Staatstheater, Konzerthäuser und der Freien Szene weisen darauf hin, dass - obgleich tradierte und neue Genderkonzepte und -diskurse auf den Bühnen ausgehandelt werden - Gender- und Diversity-Gerechtigkeit hinter der Bühne noch lange nicht erreicht sind. Die Beiträge des Bandes beschäftigen sich aus künstlerischer, praktischer und wissenschaftlicher Perspektive mit diesen Dynamiken, ihrer gegenseitigen Durchdringung und ihrer Bedeutung für das Publikum sowie ihrer wissenschaftlichen Rezeption und Analyse. »Allgemein bietet »Staging Gender« ein breites Spektrum an thematischen Schwerpunkten aus verschiedensten Sparten von Oper bis Performance mit einem Diskurs zur Popmusik und kann somit ideal als gezielt weiterführende Lektüre dienen, sei es in wissenschaftlicher Beschäftigung oder aus praxisbezogenem Interesse heraus.« Peter Sampel, www.tanznetz.de, 20.12.2019

Bringing Chicana/o studies into conversation with queer theory and transgender studies, Post-Borderlandia examines why gender variance is such a core theme in contemporary Chicana and Chicanx narratives. It considers how Chicana butch lesbians and Chicanx trans people are not only challenging heteropatriarchal norms, but also departing from mainstream conceptions of queerness and gender identification. Expanding on Gloria Anzaldúa's classic formulation of the Chicana as transformer of the "borderlands," Jackie Cuevas explores how a new generation of Chicanx writers, performers, and filmmakers are imagining a "post-borderlands" subjectivity, where shifting national, racial, class, sexual, and gender identifications produce complex power dynamics. In addition, Cuevas offers fresh archival analysis of the Chicana feminist canon to reveal how queer gender variance has always been crucial to this literary tradition.

LGBTQ kids reveal what it’s like to be young and queer today Growing Up Queer explores the changing ways that young people are now becoming LGBT-identified in the US. Through interviews and three years of ethnographic research at an LGBTQ youth drop-in center, Mary Robertson focuses on the voices and stories of youths themselves in order to show how young people understand their sexual and gender identities, their interest in queer media, and the role that family plays in their lives. The young people who participated in this research are among the first generation to embrace queer identities as children and adolescents. This groundbreaking and timely consideration of queer identity demonstrates how sexual and gender identities are formed through complicated, ambivalent processes as opposed to being natural characteristics that one is born with. In addition to showing how youth understand their identities, Growing Up Queer describes how young people navigate queerness within a culture where being gay is the “new normal.” Using Sara Ahmed’s concept of queer orientation, Robertson argues that being queer is not just about one’s sexual and/or gender identity, but is understood through intersecting identities including race, class, ability, and more. By showing how society accepts some kinds of LGBTQ-identified people while rejecting others, Growing Up Queer provides evidence of queerness as a site of social inequality. The book moves beyond an oversimplified examination of teenage sexuality and shows, through the voices of young people themselves, the exciting yet complicated terrain of queer adolescence.
