Area Impossible: Sexuality and Geopolitics Symposium
2018-05-25 09:30 - 18:30 UTC | Humanities Conference Room, Royce Hall 314, 10745 Dickson Plaza, Los Angeles, CA, 90095, United States
Within queer studies, the geopolitical has posed a much-needed challenge to the spatial and temporal logics of the field (logics that often mire the field in the US), especially in the aftermath of the turn to transnationalism. Comparative literature has historically fashioned its domains outside US borders, but despite its range has remained somewhat tied to nationalist coagulations/formations. This symposium brings together speakers who engage comparative analytical forms towards a more disruptive and capacious queer geopolitics.
