GJSS April 2009 Issue is published: Queer Methodologies Follow Up

April 29, 2009 - The Graduate Journal of Social Science is a bi-annual peer-reviewed journal published by the Amsterdam University Press. It has published the April issue with articles on: ‘Queer Studies: Methodological Approaches. Follow-Up’.

The GJSS April Issue is a follow up on the inquiries of the translation of queer. In previous issues the focus was on the relationship between queer and geo-political contexts and academic cultures. Articles in the current issue are focusing on the past, present and future of queer, further questioning the notion of “location’ and trans-historically located practises.

Articles in the April issue are by Jonathan Kemp: Queer Past, Queer Present, Queer Future, by Terri Power: “For Queer Eyes Only?” Creating Queer Performance Art at Univeristy, by Bo Jensen: Rude tools and material difference. Queer theory, ANT and materiality: an under-explored intersection?, by Eva-Mikaela Kinnari: Between ordinary and deeply religious - Re/Negotiating the 'religious' and the 'secular' in the Finnish parliamentary debate on assisted reproduction, by Péter Balogh: Queer Eye for the Private Eye: Homonationalism and the Regulation of Queer Difference in Anthony Bidulka’s Russell Quant Mystery Series, and by Ellen Zitani: Sibilla Aleramo, Lina Poletti and Giovanni Cena - Understanding Connections between Lesbian Desire, Feminism and Free Love in Early Twentieth-Century Italy.

Munt, on “De la cama a la calle: perspectivas teóricas lésbico-feministas” [From the Bed to the Street: Lesbian-Feminist Theoretical Perspectives] by Jules Falquet and “No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Driven” by Lee Edelman.
