Seminar
Towards A Global Queer History
Benjamin Miller
Kommentar
Queer history and global history are both methods that are often mistaken for topics. In other words, both ‘queer’ and ‘global’ describe ways of doing history––ways of questioning disciplinary assumptions––that can reveal new patterns and structures in the study of the past. Both global and queer can, at their best, push us to reject identity politics and easy narratives of authenticity and belonging and to think more structurally and complexly about the past. Yet global history in practice has often ignored sexuality and the intellectual challenges of queer theory, and queer history has often remained inside national borders. This class aims to think towards a global queer history. including the meaning of queer and global histories in our present, the colonial instantiation of modern sexual subjectivities, sex-gender systems and difference, global trans history, gay liberation and anticolonial solidarity, racism in western queer movements, the global history of HIV and AIDS, and contemporary postcolonial backlashes to queer politics. The course will include a visit to the Schwules Museum in Berlin. Schließen
