In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the “orientation” aspect of “sexual orientation” and the “orient” in “orientalism,” Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being “orientated” means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached. A queer phenomenology, Ahmed contends, reveals how social relations are arranged spatially, how queerness disrupts and reorders these relations by not following the accepted paths, and how a politics of disorientation puts other objects within reach, those that might, at first glance, seem awry. Ahmed proposes that a queer phenomenology might investigate not only how the concept of orientation is informed by phenomenology but also the orientation of phenomenology itself. Thus she reflects on the significance of the objects that appear—and those that do not—as signs of orientation in classic phenomenological texts such as Husserl’s Ideas. In developing a queer model of orientations, she combines readings of phenomenological texts—by Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Fanon—with insights drawn from queer studies, feminist theory, critical race theory, Marxism, and psychoanalysis. Queer Phenomenology points queer theory in bold new directions. https://www.saranahmed.com/

Publié pour la première fois en 2001, ce livre pionnier a permis l'ouverture d'un espace théorique et politique queer en France. Il s'agit d'une boîte à outils destinée aux activistes en quête de cultures et de politiques sexuelles qui ne soient pas (homo ou hétéro) normatives. Stimulants et provocants, les textes réunis dans ce recueil constituent également une introduction critique à la déconstruction des genres et aux travaux de Judith Butler et de Michel Foucault. Ils mettent de plus en évidence l'apport des subcultures trans, butch et SM à une réflexion plus large sur les relations entre pouvoir et savoir, ainsi que le formidable potentiel des sexualités dissidentes et la continuité politique entre féminisme pro-sexe et activisme queer. Cette nouvelle édition comprend trois essais inédits sur le " devenir femme " de Deleuze, l'utopie sexuelle urbaine de Gayle Rubin et la post-pornographie selon Annie Sprinkle.

Although the term "transgender" itself has achieved familiarity only within the past decade, this authoritative collection of articles demonstrates that the study of behaviors, bodies, and subjective identities which contest common Eurocentric notions of gender has a history stretching back at least to the early 20th century. Transgender studies is the latest area of academic inquiry to grow out of the exciting nexus of queer theory, feminist studies, and the history of sexuality. Because transpeople challenge our most fundamental assumptions about the relationship between bodies, desire, and identity, the field is both fascinating and contentious. The Transgender Studies Reader puts between two covers fifty influential texts with new introductions by the editors that, taken together, document the evolution of transgender studies in the English-speaking world. By bringing together the voices and experience of transgender individuals, doctors, psychologists, and academically-based theorists, this volume will be a foundational text for the transgender community, transgender studies, and related queer theory.
