De cómo la infancia me dio vuelta. Conversaciones con la teórica queer Kathryn Bond Stockton
How We Built a College for Intersectional Inquiry—in a Red State
Child Studies Multiple
This text is an exploration of collaborative thinking and writing through theories, methods, and experiences on the topic of the child, children, and childhood. It is a collaborative written text (with 32 authors) that sprang out of the experimental workshop Child Studies Multiple. The workshop and this text are about daring to stay with mess, 'un-closure' , and uncertainty in order to investigate the (e)motions and complexities of being either a…
Queer Theory
Where is queer? In the neighbourhood, the gesture, the drug, or the word? Enter the slipstream, liquid and labile, of the elusive contours of queer. It's the strange we like, if we're for the queer. It's the fissure-force, cracking what we know. It's a plea for pleasure, however ephemeral—nuanced or shattering—it may be. It's (forbidden) candy, which we give ourselves and extend to ... children. (A child, after all, echoes Willy Wonka—the Wildean…
The Queer Child Now and Its Paradoxical Global Effects
Forging new concepts-kid Orientalism, reverse pedophilia, and manifest latency-this essay speculates on something that's been surfacing in Anglo-American public culture over the last ten years or so. A future the public fears is coming-child sexuality, evidenced by sexting, "gay" kids in middle school, and sexual bullying-is accompanying exportation of a fading child (the figure of the innocent child) to other lands, where it seems weirdly possib…
Queer Theory
Are we happy yet? Are queer people, whoever they are, feeling brighter about the changing prospects for strange sexualities in world contexts? Or is happiness (still) a dirty word? And should we remind ourselves, we who read what is called ‘queer theory’, that the common linking of ‘queer’ to ‘sex’ is a sinking ship? Is the sex-vessel for carrying queerness really just one among many vessels now? Speaking of now, what time is it? Queer theory sti…

The Queer Child, or Growing Sideways in the Twentieth Century
Children are thoroughly, shockingly queer, as Kathryn Bond Stockton explains in The Queer Child, where she examines children's strangeness, even some children's subliminal "gayness," in the twentieth century. Estranging, broadening, darkening forms of children emerge as this book illuminates the child queered by innocence, the child queered by color, the child queered by Freud, the child queered by money, and the grown homosexual metaphorically s…

Beautiful Bottom, Beautiful Shame
Cloth Wounds, or When Queers Are Martyred to Clothes
Against the backdrop of western culture's strong investment in gendered clothes, Stockton looks at clothing's intricate relations to shame and, for some queer women and men, the surprising value of these humiliations, especially in the service of sexual attraction. The word 'martyrdom', with its associations to bodily wounding and psychic pain, is not too strong for the acts of clothing and sartorial preference she discusses. Working through conc…

Heaven's Bottom
Bodies and God
In contemporary feminist theory, no issue is more vexed than that of determining the relations between the feminine body as a figure in discourse and as material presence or biological entity. The debates surrounding this question in recent years have been the most highly charged, but also perhaps the most fruitful. -Mary Jacobus, Evelyn Fox Keller, Sally Shuttleworth, in their introduction to Body/Politics: Women and the Discourses of Science
