Conditions of Critique
Indigenous critics are interrogating the violences of modernity as conditions for understanding or debating gender, alongside critical works in trans studies and in queer-of-color, queer diaspora, and women-of-color feminist theories. This essay asks how two-spirit, queer indigenous, and indigenous feminist critiques call scholars in gender studies to ensure that discussions of gender respond to indigenous decolonization and its relationships wit…
Encountering Indeterminacy: Colonial Contexts and Queer Imagining
Queer draws our attention to excess, and to the inconceivable.At its queerest, queer slips from attempts at definition or codification.Facing negation, queerness remains undisciplined: it is what negation cannot actually erase, for negation requires it as a target for projecting power.And if discipline ever attempts to embrace what it once negated, queerness still complicates conformity by exposing discipline's fabrication and threatening its unr…
Indigenous Feminisms Roundtable
Daniel Rivers and Karen J. Leong, members of the Transnational Feminisms Summer Institute Program Committee, organized this roundtable to address the absence of Indigenous feminisms from feminist discussions of the transnational, even though many Indigenous nations in the Americas are themselves traversed by settler colonial nationstates, and most American Indians and First Nations peoples are binational, being citizens of sovereign states as wel…

A Politics Not Yet Known: Imagining Relationality within Solidarity Scott L. Morgensen (bio) Recalling ASA’s momentous support for the Palestinian call for an academic boycott of Israeli academic institutions, Lisa Duggan queerly articulates this moment with the sudden loss of our colleague José Esteban Muñoz. In so doing she centers the furious fun that Muñoz read within queer creative and utopian practices when she addresses the arrival of quee…

Queer Settler Colonialism in Canada and Israel: Articulating Two-Spirit and Palestinian Queer Critiques
This essay plies potential connections among Two-Spirit and Palestinian queer critiques to advance a comparative analysis of queer settler colonialism in Canada and Israel. Abroad literature in indigenous studies and at its intersections with queer studies now centres the intellectual and political interventions of Indigenous LGBTQ/Two-Spirit people in North America. In turn, after years of organising among Palestinian LGBTQ people in Palestine, …

Theorising Gender, Sexuality and Settler Colonialism: An Introduction
Hoke-tee', the cover image offered to this issue by Taskigi/Dine artist Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie, presents a protean site for considering how our contributors advance theories of settler colonialism. Taken from the series Portraits of Amnesia, 'Hoke-tee' portrays juxtapositions that interrupt any narrative of the moon as terra nullius. Whose human existence becomes legible once the moon appears as a site traversed by humans: in body, but also in…
Destabilizing the Settler Academy: The Decolonial Effects of Indigenous Methodologies
Destabilizing the Settler Academy: The Decolonial Effects of Indigenous Methodologies Scott Lauria Morgensen (bio) The academy forms within settler societies as an apparatus of colonization. Indigenous researchers critically engage its colonial power by practicing Indigenous methodologies: an act that also implicates non-Indigenous people in challenging the settler academy. Indigenous methodologies do not merely model Indigenous research. By expo…
Spaces between Us: Queer Settler Colonialism and Indigenous Decolonization
Explaining how relational distinctions of “Native” and “settler” define the status of being “queer,” this book argues that modern queer subjects emerged among Natives and non-Natives by engaging the meaningful difference indigeneity makes within a settler society. The book’s analysis exposes white settler colonialism as a primary condition for the development of modern queer politics in the United States. Bringing together historical and ethnogra…
The Biopolitics of Settler Colonialism: Right Here, Right Now
Settler colonialism is exemplary of the processes of biopower theorised by Giorgio Agamben and Michel Foucault. However, settler colonialism remains naturalised within theories of biopower and theories of its relation to coloniality. White supremacist settler colonisation produces specific modes of biopolitics that sustain not only in settler states but also in regimes of global governance that inherit, extend, and naturalise their power. I exten…
Settler Homonationalism
Settlement conditions the formation of modern queer subjects and politics in the United States. This essay newly interprets the settler formation of U.S. queer modernities by inspiration of Jasbir Puar's critique of homonationalism. Puar argues that homonationalism produces U.S. queers as regulatory over the racialized and sexualized populations targeted within the imperial biopolitics of the war on terror. I explain homonationalism as a quality …
Arrival at Home
Radical faerie culture produces modern sexual minorities by mediating their racial and national relationship to histories of colonization. Radical faeries arose in the US by forming itinerant rural gatherings--and, over time, landed rural sanctuaries to host them--where they sought to liberate an authentic gay subjectivity grounded in indigenous cultural roots. I examine the formation of rural sanctuaries and gatherings as sources for gay liberat…
Activist Media in Native Aids Organizing: Theorizing the Colonial Conditions of Aids
INTRODUCTION\nGlobal deliberations of HIV/AIDS today increasingly describe social inequalities as conditions of the AIDS pandemic. Agencies and advocates address global public health by arguing that disease transmission and its effects are enabled by power relations such as homophobia and sexism, racism and poverty, and the colonial histories that foster them. Saying that such conditions enable HIV’s disproportionate spread surpasses tales from t…
