Abstract

The Unfinished Revolution compares the post-Second World War histories of the American and British gay and lesbian movements with an eye toward understanding how distinct political institutional environments affect the development, strategies, goals, and outcomes of a social movement. Stephen M. Engel utilizes an electic mix of source materials ranging from the theories of Mancur Olson and Michel Foucault to Supreme Court rulings and film and television dialogue. The two case study chapters function as brief historical sketches to elucidate further the conclusions on theory and whilst being politically-oriented, they also examine gay influence and expansion into mainstream popular culture. The book also includes an appendix that surveys and assesses the analytical potential of five critical understandings of social movements: the classical approach, rational choice, resource mobilization, new social movement theories, and political opportunity structures. It will be of value to academics and students of sociology, political science, and history.

Abstract

"Guy Hocquenghems Essay Das homosexuelle Verlangen kann "als erstes Beispiel für das gelten, was heute Queer Theory heisst", schrieb Douglas Crimp im Klappentext einer US-amerikanischen Neuausgabe dieses Buches. Der französische Aktivist und Theoretiker, Journalist und Romancier prägte in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren die Geschichte der radikalen Schwulenbewegung nicht nur seines Landes, sondern auch der alten Bundesrepublik mit. Während das Interesse an Hocquenghem in Frankreich und den USA wieder wächst, wird er im deutschsprachigen Raum heute kaum noch rezipiert. Doch die Lektüre lohnt sich, denn sie bietet Perspektiven, sexuelle Orientierung nicht starr, sondern "offen" und prozesshaft zu denken - eben "musikalisch": Auch ein Ton tritt nur in Erscheinung, wenn er seine ganze Amplitude ausschöpft. 2018, fünfzig Jahre nach der sogenannten sexuellen Revolution und zum 30. Todestag von Guy Hocquenghem, unternehmen es die Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes, aktuelle identitäts- und rassismuskritische queere Positionen mit diesem Denker in Diskussion zu bringen."--Back cover. Guy Hocquenghem's essay Homosexual desire can be "the first example of what is now called queer theory," wrote Douglas Crimp in the blurb of a new edition of this book. The French activist and theorist, journalist and novelist shaped the history of the radical gay movement not only in his country but also in the old Federal Republic in the 1970s and 1980s. While interest in Hocquenghem is growing again in France and the USA, it is hardly received in German-speaking countries today. But it is worth reading, because it offers perspectives, sexual orientation not rigid, but "open" and process-based thinking - just "musical": Even a sound only appears if it exhaustes its entire amplitude. In 2018, fifty years after the so-called sexual revolution and on the 30th anniversary of Guy Hocquenghem's death, the authors of this volume are undertaking to discuss current queer positions that are critical of identity and racism with this thinker.

Abstract

'Out in the Periphery' explores how Latin America, a region known for its Catholic heritage and machismo culture, came to embrace gay rights. At the heart of this analysis is the activism of Latin America's gay rights organizations, a long-neglected social movement even by students of Latin American social movements.

Abstract

Written in the aftermath of Indonesia's anti-queer panic in 2016, this book tells the story of local queer movements in challenging the heteronormative society and resisting the homophobic hostility from religious conservative groups and the state. The year 2016 was a touchstone moment for queer issues in Indonesia, marked by the ubiquity of anti-queer campaigns, along with the pervasive use of the term 'LGBT' in public. Drawing on historical archives and his engagements with local queer activisms, Hendri Yulius Wijaya traces the historical shifts of gender and sexual identities in Indonesia, from gay and lesbian, to LGBT, to SOGIE minorities, while exploring their connections with the country's socio-political circumstances and the globalization of queer rights. Using a strategic blend of queer theory and assemblage framework, Wijaya demonstrates how activists refashion transnational sexuality discourses to balance international developments of queer rights against the contingencies of daily life in Indonesia. Equally importantly, he sheds light on emerging practices in activist landscapes, including the emergence of sexuality experts and the professionalization of activisms. In analyzing the rising tide of homophobic paranoia, Wijaya further shows how the current anti-queer campaigns have branched out into a broader assault on feminism and promoted a form of 'aversion therapy' that positions same-sex attraction as a divine ordeal. Intimate Assemblages follows the travails of queer activists in defining what it means to be queer in contemporary Indonesia. .

Abstract

Winner of the 2015 Lavender Rhetorics Award for Excellence in Queer Scholarship's Book Award presented by the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC)Grassroots Literacies analyzes the complex issues surrounding lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender representations, technology, and grassroots activism in international contexts through the lens of Legato, a collegiate lesbian and gay association that engaged in activism in colleges and universities in Turkey from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s. Using the Internet and digital media, Legato enabled students to connect with each other on campuses across the country and introduced them to new (i.e., lesbian and gay) identity categories and community activism. Serkan Görkemli presents historical, cultural, visual, and interview-based analyses of Legato members' "coming out" experiences and uses of digital media. Members emerged as sexuality activists with the help of the Internet and engaged with negative representations of homosexuality through offline events such as film screenings, reading groups, and conferences in the challenging context of burgeoning civil society efforts in Turkey. Bridging transnational and literacy-based studies, the book ultimately traces the contours of a "transnational literacy" regarding sexuality.

Abstract

"Gay, Inc. investigates the massive expansion of the non-profit system since the mid-1960s, and the impact this expansion has had on queer social movements. Based on ethnography and oral histories as well as archival research, it looks at how people at four LGBT non-profits in the Midwest grapple with the contradictions between the radical imaginary of queer social movements and their institutionalized iterations. Beam argues that the institutional form of queer social movements informs and structures the politics that can be articulated from within them, and that the shift in focus towards marriage and formal legal equality is due, in large part, to the LGBT movement's embrace of the non-profit structure"--
