Der Verfasser gibt eine Einführung in die Wurzeln und die Entwicklung des Queer Movement in den USA in den 1990er Jahren und beschreibt Queer als radikales linkes Projekt. Er diskutiert die zentralen Punkte der Queer-Theory in Hinblick auf die Etablierung sexueller Standards und die Behandlung von Abweichungen und fragt, wie das Queer Movement in Deutschland in akademischen und politischen Kreisen aufgenommen worden ist. Abschließend werden fünf Punkte in Hinblick auf die theoretische und politische Weiterentwicklung von Queer formuliert, wobei ein kritischer, anti-neoliberaler Blick auf die Standardisierung von Geschlecht und Sexualität geworfen wird.

In digitalisierten, kapitalistischen Ökonomien nimmt Überwachung gegenwärtig eine ubiquitäre Stellung ein, deren Formen und Funktionen im Bereich der Surveillance Studies erörtert werden. Geprägt von einer Tradition gouvernementalitätskritischer Theorie stehen dabei vor allem das Verhältnis von Privatheit und Öffentlichkeit sowie von Un/Sichtbarkeit und Un/Sicherheit im Fokus, die in einer Reihe fundierter Zeitdiagnosen diskutiert werden. Während damit ergiebige Symptomanalysen vorliegen, erscheinen sie zugleich häufig als merkwürdig ursachenblind, was nicht zuletzt darin begründet sein mag, dass queerfeministische Positionen bislang nur wenig Beachtung finden. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird auf der Basis einer selektiven Literaturstudie der Versuch unternommen, die beiden Theoriestränge zusammenzuführen, um so ihre produktiven Potenziale auszuloten, aber auch mögliche Probleme herauszufiltern.

The article examines queer as critique by performing a series of parallel readings of leading queer thinkers, including Judith Butler, Eve Sedgwick, and Michael Warner. Introducing two philosophical traditions and strategies of social critique, immanent and intervening critique, along with their criteria of what is right and good, I discuss how these scholars engage in these strategies and wrestle with their in-built problems within the orbit of the research foci and ambitions of queer studies. Queer critique aims at challenging dominant knowledges, social hierarchies and norms related to sex, sexuality, and gender by exposing the limits they impose on us, including the sufferings associated with them. The article closes with considering queer political visions and their normative underpinnings.

Coming from behind (derrière)--how else to describe a volume called "Derrida and Queer Theory"? -- as if arriving late to the party, or, indeed, after the party is already over. After all, we already have Deleuze and Queer Theory and, of course, Saint Foucault. And judging by Annamarie Jagose's Queer Theory: An Introduction, in which there is not a single mention of "Derrida" (or "deconstruction") -- even in the sub-chapter titled "The Post-Structuralist Context of Queer"--One would think that Derrida was not only late to the party, but was never there at all. This untimely volume, then, with wide-ranging essays from key thinkers in the field, addresses, among other things, what could be called the disavowed debt to "Derrida" in canonical "queer theory."

Since their inception, queer theories have had a remarkable influence on how we think of law's effects on social reality. In particular, in the past three decades the debates and polemics that have arisen in this burgeoning subject area have shed a critical light on how the law grants social speakability and political agency to forms of sexuality and types of relationships that become 'respectable', insofar as they gain access to legal recognition and state protection. As this access comes at a price, queer theorists acknowledge the importance of legal recognition, but are alert to its costs. This is why they have variously explored the tacit dynamics of negotiation and adjustment that this recognition requires. This chapter homes in on such a notable contribution to the analysis of these tacit dynamics. It commences by illustrating the meaning of the queer as a signifier and why it has become such an important field of study. Although reductive, for the sake of clarity I will look at three lines of the queer lineage (to wit, Freudo-Marxism, radical constructivism and antisocial theories) and will briefly foreground how they think of law and its relation to sexuality. I will then focus almost exclusively on the second line insofar as it captures the ambivalence of legal recognition. To cut deeper into this ambivalence, I will touch upon the same sex marriage debate and will dwell on the heated contrapositions that still surround it. This discussion will tease out the fine line between resignification and assimilation; that is, how claims to legal recognition affect the law in a transformative manner and to what extent these very claims are reabsorbed into a constrictive lexicon that effaces the challenging character of same sex sexuality. The chapter will conclude by gesturing to a more recent version of the queer (postcritical queer theory), one that draws significantly from the second line but innovates it in some significant respects.

This exciting collection of work introduces a major shift in debates on sexuality: a shift away from discourse, identity and signification, to a radical new conception of bodily materialism. Moving away from the established path known as queer theory, itsuggests an alternative to Butler's matter/representation binary. It thus dares to askhow to think sexuality and sex outside the discursive and linguistic context that hascome to dominate contemporary research in social sciences and humanities. Deleuze and Queer Theory is a provocative and often militant collection that explores a diverse range of themes including: the revisiting of the term 'queer'; a rethinking of the sex-gender distinction as being implied in Queer Theory; an exploration of queer temporalities; the non/re-reading of the homosexual body/desire and the becoming-queer of the Deleuze/Guattari philosophy. It will be essential reading for anyone interested not just in Deleuze's and Guattari's philosophy, but also in the fields of sexuality, gender and feminist theory
