Debates over who belongs in Europe and who doesn't increasingly speak the language of mixing, but how are the figures commonly described as 'mixed' actually embodied? The Biopolitics of Mixing invites us to reckon with the spectres of pathologization past and present, placing the celebration of mixing beside moral panics over terrorism and trafficking and a post-race multiculturalism that elevates some as privileged members of the neoliberal community, whilst ghosting others from it. Drawing on a broad archive including rich qualitative interviews conducted in Britain and Germany, media and policy debates, popular culture, race-based research and queer-of-colour theories, this book imagines into being communities in which people and places normally kept separate can coexist in the same reality. As such, it will appeal to scholars across a range of sociological and cultural studies, including critical race, ethnic and migration studies, transnational gender and queer studies, German and European studies, Thai and Southeast Asian studies, and studies of affect, performativity, biopolitics and necropolitics. It should be read by all those interested in thinking critically on the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality and disability.

"Queer Necropolitics comes at a time when the intrinsic and self-evident value of queer rights and protections, from gay marriage to hate crimes, is increasingly put in question. It assembles writings that explore the new queer vitalities within their wider context of structural violence and neglect. The book mobilises the concept of 'necropolitics' in order to bring into view everyday death worlds, from more expected sites such as war, torture or imperial invasion to the mundane and normalised violence of racism and gender normativity, the market, and the prison-industrial complex. Its contributors interrogate the distinction between valuable and pathological lives by attending to the symbiotic co-constitution of queer subjects folded into life, and queerly abjected racialised populations marked for death. Moving between diverse geopolitical contexts - the US and the UK, Guatemala and Palestine, the Philippines, Iran and Israel - the chapters interrogate claims to queerness in the face(s) of death, both spectacular and everyday. Drawing on textual and visual analysis, ethnography, historiography and more, the authors argue that the distinction between 'war' and 'peace' dissolves in the face of the banality of death in the zones of abandonment that regularly accompany contemporary democratic regimes.The book will appeal to activist scholars and students from various social sciences and humanities, including cultural and media studies, critical legal studies, gender, transgender, queer, sexuality and intersectionality studies, critical race and ethnic studies, violence and conflict studies, as well as those studying nationalism, colonialism, prisons and war. It should be read by all those trying to make sense of the contradictions inherent in regimes of rights, citizenship and diversity"--

"Toronto is a place that people move to in order to be queer of colour and live in queer of colour communities. Yet the city's rich history of activism by queer and trans people who are Black, Indigenous, or of colour (QTBIPOC) remains largely unwritten and unarchived. While QTBIPOC have a long and visible presence in the city, they always appear as newcomers in queer urban maps and archives in which white queers appear as the only historical subjects imaginable. The first collection of its kind to feature the art, activism, and writings of QTBIPOC in Toronto, Marvellous Grounds tells the stories that have shaped Toronto's landscape but are frequently forgotten or erased. Responding to an unmistakable desire in QTBIPOC communities for history and lineage, this rich volume allows us to imagine new ancestors and new futures."--

Das Konzept der "Intersektionalität" bezieht auf das Ineinandergreifen und der gegenseitigen Bedingtheit verschiedener Machtverhältnisse. In Abgrenzung zu dieser Tendenz geht es im vorliegenden Text darum, eine analytische Betrachtungsweise stark zu machen, die Herrschaftsverhältnisse wie zum Beispiel Rassismus und Heterosexismus als kontextspezifische, geopolitisch verortete und durch die internationale und lokale kapitalistische Produktionsweise, der Institutionalisierung und Vermarktung von Wissensproduktionen sowie durch lokal und international eingebundene hegemoniale kulturelle Praktiken vermittelte Verhältnisse begreift. In diesem Zusammenhang wird die Frage erörtert, inwieweit die Begriffe der "Intersektionalität" oder der "Simultaneität" diese Komplexität benennen können. Dieser Frage wird in vier Schritten nachgegangen. Zunächst werden Erklärungsansätze vorgestellt, durch welche antirassistische Feministinnen hierzulande in den 1980er und 1990er Jahren die Verzahnung und die simultane Wirkungsweise von heterogenen Machtverhältnissen im Feld von Migration, Rassismus und Sexismus diskutierten. Dem folgt ein Verweis auf die englischsprachige Debatte im selben Zeitraum. In einem dritten Schritt werden die Ausschlüsse, die im Namen von Intersektionalität geschehen, vor allem innerhalb von Heteronormativitäts-Diskussionen problematisiert. Im Abschluss wird die Frage der Simultaneität verschiedener Unterdrückungsverhältnisse aus einer methodologischen Perspektive beleuchtet. (ICA2)
