The Cambridge Handbook for the Anthropology of Gender and Sexuality
The tense but enduring engagement between anthropology and gender and sexuality studies has had profound effects upon anthropological theory and practice. Bringing together contributions from an international team of authors, this Handbook shows that anthropological work has taken inspiration from feminist and LGBTQI movements to create a transformative body of research. It provides an accessible, state-of-the-art overview of the anthropology of …
Recusa Queer
Este artigo discute casos em que os sujeitos reconhecem autoridade persuasiva e reguladora, exibem sua indiferença, seu desinteresse, sua recusa, apesar de retaliação percebida ou real: "Eu não me importo". Esta é uma forma de agência linguística que não precisa estar ligada ao privilégio. Como outros estudos de "linguagem vinda de baixo" (BAYNHAM E LEE, 2019), a recusa queer documenta as experiências vividas de uso da linguagem, vulnerabilidade …
Moving into the next ten years
This paper begins by introducing the Special Issue of theJournal of Language and Sexuality. Then the paper shifts focus, to consider concerns that have shaped studies of language and sexuality over the past ten years and are shaping these studies' immediate and emerging interests. The paper also considers how theJournalcould support these interests in language and sexuality oriented in terms of a "mesh of possibilities ..." (Sedgwick 1993: 8) rat…
“Strangers on a Train”
Guide to Further Reading
This book addresses two themes: "sex"—including sexual identities, erotic desires, carnal practices and affective intimacy. It influences the ethnographer's subject position during fieldwork as well as the ethnographer's interactions with strangers and friends at the field site. Thus, like fieldwork itself, "sex" is an integral part of anthropology's ethnographic project. Of particular interest are the various forms of intimacy that emerge from t…
William Leap's Reflections upon Retirement
Language/sexuality/affect
The papers in this special issue examine the relationships between language, sexuality and affect. Using examples of language use from Argentine cinema, bounce music performance, a university classroom, a BDSM community, and Black women's urban queer space, the papers show how various forms of linguistic practice allow affect to remain comfortably nested on "the cusp of semantic availability" (Williams 1977: 134), rather than being reduced to tig…
Queer linguistics, sexuality, and discourse analysis
Commentary II
Work in queer linguistics addresses diverse themes, but finds common interest in critical studies of homonormativity. As the articles in this special issue suggest, such studies connect social experience with normative practice and its regulatory constraints, recognizing that language, along with desire and other components of sexuality, are primary sites through which normativity and regulatory control unfold in everyday life

Language Matters
That language and sexuality are closely connected is one of the enduring themes in human sexuality research. The articles in this special issue of the Journal of Homosexuality explore some of these language-centered insights as they apply to same-sex related desires, identities, and practices and to other dimensions of non-normative sexual experiences. The articles address language use over a range of geographic and social locations. The linguist…
Language, Gay Pornography, and Audience Reception
Erotic imagery is an important component of gay pornographic cinema, particularly, where work of audience reception is concerned. However, to assume the audience engagement with the films is limited solely to the erotic realm is to underestimate the workings of ideological power in the context and aftermath of reception. For example, the director of the film under discussion here (Men of Israel; Lucas, 2009b) intended to present an erotic celebra…
Homophobia as Moral Geography
Gay men’s stories about homophobic violence will, at times, disguise reference to the persons who initiate harassment and injury. Instead, these stories emphasize the details of location or allow the victim of narrated violence to confirm the status of narrative hero. Each approach to story-telling has noticeable effects on the connections between sexual sameness and violence as displayed within the narrative. This paper examines these approaches…
Introducing the special issue
Homophobic messages circulate widely in contemporary society. This essay introduces a set of papers that examine the linguistic dimensions of that circulation. These papers build on the idea that messages expressing disdain, disgust or hatred for homosexuals or for persons believed to be homosexual, are often derived from contextual clues or inference, rather than explicitly worded anti-gay commentary. Paraphrasing Eve Sedgwick (1990), any text m…

Queering the Disaster
The 2007 SANA meetings on “Unnatural Disasters” used Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath as the focus of its scheduled sessions, and for scholarly and activist reflection on this theme. As the planning for the conference unfolded, we recognized that a very important component of the Katrina experience, related to our own work in North American anthropology, needed to be part of the conference program. New Orleans is a city with a long‐standing qu…

American Indian Language Maintenance
Introduction
Aids, linguistics, and the study of non‐neutral discourse
In the absence of appropriate medication and the long‐awaited vaccine, information‐oriented, people‐centered outreach strategies are our best hope for restricting the spread of HIV in particular communities. These strategies will be effective only if practitioners who employ them understand how people talk about AIDS and AIDS‐related issues in those communities and focus their outreach efforts in terms of those concerns. There are common themes t…
Pathways and Barriers to Indian Language Literacy-building on the Northern Ute Reservation
This article reviews recent efforts on the Northern Ute Indian reservation (northeastern Utah) to introduce a written form of the Tribe's ancestral language and to promote tribal interest in ancestral language literacy. Tribal members have been the architects of these initiatives and tribal concerns about impending decline in ancestral language fluency have motivated them. Even under these circumstances, resistance to ancestral language literacy …
