Class Notes on LGBTQ Lifespans
This essay addresses amnesia between and about queer generations in the contemporary US classroom. Drawing on theorists and historians such as Audre Lorde, George Chauncey, Gayle Rubin, and others, it argues that undergraduate students in the mid-2020s should be better introduced to queer and trans later lives through their syllabi. To do so, it walks readers through a regularly taught course, LGBTQ Lifespans, and outlines its readings, assignmen…
Queer Modernist Weapons of the Weak
This review of Jill Richards’s The Fury Archives: Female Citizenship, Human Rights, and the International Avant-Gardes situates the text within recent strains of queer modernist studies as well as longstanding theorizations of queer resistance. Closely reading one of Richards’s primary case studies, Claude Cahun, I argue that The Fury Archives patterns its thinking off of anthropologist James C. Scott’s concept of “weapons of the weak.” As a key …
Queer Natures, Queer Mythologies
The Sexual Imaginarium
This dialogue overviews the scholarly importance of Kath Weston’s 1995 essay “Get Thee to a Big City: Sexual Imaginary and the Great Gay Migration.” Situating the article within its historical moment and tracing its influence across contemporary queer theory and its subfields, our conversation finds that Weston facilitated new avenues for considering matters of sexual geography, regionalism, and metronormativity for a wide variety of queer subjec…
"Eve Sedgwick's "Other Materials
Eve Sedgwick's 'Other Materials'" refers to a graduate seminar that Sedgwick offered at the CUNY Graduate Center entitled "How to Do Things with Words and Other Materials." As its title suggests, her seminar advanced Sedgwick's enduring "FASCINATION" with "MAKING UNSPEAKING OBJECTS" of all sorts, which elsewhere included the body's organic and inorganic waste. Taking a cue from her teaching, I suggest that, while critics have extensively detailed…
The Cambridge Companion to American Gay and Lesbian Literature
This Companion examines the connections between LGBTQ populations and American literature from the late eighteenth to twenty-first centuries. It surveys primary and secondary writings under the evolving category of gay and lesbian authorship, and incorporates current thinking in US-based LGBTQ studies as well as critical practices within the field of American literary studies. This Companion also addresses the ways in which queerness pervades per…
"Hixploitation" Cinema, Regional Drive-ins, and the Cultural Emergence of a Queer New Right
This essay crafts a theory of queer conservatism by tracing understudied links between sexual nonnormativity and the rise of the New Right via the genre of hillbilly exploitation (hixploitation) cinema. I first rehearse the genre's formal and political markers as it was popularized at regional drive-ins across the US Midwest. I next analyze one paradigmatic film - Bloody Mama (1970) - to substantiate its cultural operations for a largely white, w…

Material Deviance
Using the cable television show Hoarders as its primary case study, this essay offers a theory of "material deviance" that fuses a primary interest of material culture studies—the social status of objects—with a central concern of queer studies—the roles that deviance and normalization play in social management. Placing these two disciplines together enables us to interrogate supposedly abnormal uses of material cultures, uses that are seen as ab…

Queering the Underworld
Out of the Closets, Into the Woods
This essay revisits post-Stonewall lesbian and gay U.S. cultures of the 1970s to analyze the anti-urban politics of two rural-based journals-RFD ("Radical Fairy Digest") and Country Women-as they countered the metronormativity of slick leisure magazines such as Advocate. It explores how white gay male "ghetto" urbanity reprinted itself as a normalizing print style in nationalizing glossies, and how RFD, alongside Country Women, responded to this …

Spoon River Anthology ’s Heterosexual Heartland
Critics often assume Edgar Lee Masters’s best‐selling 1915 collection of poems, Spoon River Anthology , to be a damning account of small‐town corruption and sexual degeneration. This essay argues the counter‐intuitive claim that the anthology instead confirms a pastoral image of small town life even as it appears to negate this ideal. I suggest that Spoon River Anthology paradoxically confirms the idyllic image of the small Midwestern town throug…
