Queer objects: A symposium with Robyn Wiegman and Annamarie Jagos
| Queer objects: A symposium with Robyn Wiegman and Annamarie Jagos Thursday, 16 October 2014 - Friday, 17 October 2014 Conference Room, Level 1, A D Hope Bldg 14, ANU 'The rejection of essentialism,' David Halperin writes in How to be Gay (2012), 'did not prevent the original founders of queer theory from asking "What do Queers want?"'. In her Object Lessons (2012), Robyn Wiegman explores the political and institutional effects of scholarly attachments to objects of knowledge. Queer theory is, for Wiegman, one of several 'identity knowledges' that share a commitment to social justice and that can teach us lessons about what and how we want. |
