Our corpus will include works by Akwaeke Emezi (Nigerian Igbo and Tamil writer), Cristina Rivera Garza (Mexican writer), Eli Claire (US writer), Sarah Waters (Welsh writer), Park Chan-Wook (Korean director), and Joshua Whitehead (Peguis First Nation writer). Our discussions will be rooted in the close analysis of cultural forms including memoir, poetry, novels, and film. Themes will include: Black memoir, trans/queer disabilities, queer indigeneity, climate fiction, domestic abuse and trauma, and queer utopia. We will analyse the intersection of LGBTQI+ identities, culture, and theory with issues of coloniality, empire, racialisation, and class. How is queerness represented in global literatures and cultures? How is gender and sexuality lived, conceptualised, and represented outside of the US/UK contexts that dominate Anglophone queer theory? Which queer works circulate globally and how are they altered in the process? We will explore these questions through analysing representations of queer identities and desires, including encounters between cultures in transnational queer works.
