QUEER THEORY: THE KEY CONCEPTS (Berg Publishers, forthcoming 2009), by Noreen Giffney
As part of The Key Concepts book series, edited by Tristan Palmer, at Berg Publishers.
Description:
What does it mean to identify or position oneself as ‘queer’ or to undertake a
‘queer’ reading? Does the word ‘queer’ refer to a specific historical moment? If so, has the queer
moment passed? Are we now post-queer? These are just some of the contentious questions posed in this introductory overview
of a difficult and rapidly expanding area of study.
Queer Theory: The Key Concepts
explores the term ‘queer’ as an
identity category, a methodology, a politics and an evolving discipline in its own right. This book traces the relationship
between queer theory and a range of other academic fields, such as sexology, psychoanalysis, poststructuralism, feminism,
lesbian and gay studies, postcolonial studies, disability studies and posthumanism.
While providing an accessible introduction to a range of key concepts, debates and critiques,
this book explores primarily what queer theory might bring to the study of norms and identities, in addition to discussing
how the formulation of queer theory has developed in different geographical locations. Queer Theory: The Key Concepts
ends by probing possible future directions for queer theory and asks perhaps nihilistically whether it even has a future.

LOVE, SEX, INTIMACY AND FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN MEN, 1550-1800 (Basingstoke: Palgrave
Macmillan, 2003), edited by Michael O'Rourke & Katherine O'Donnell
Description
This book gathers the most recent scholarship on the historicization of masculinity by the most original and widely respected
thinkers in this relatively new field. By using the analytical tools of Queer Theory, these international, interdisciplinary
scholars have reconfigured the history of sexuality in radically altering how we think about sexuality and how we write history.
This book is a timely benchmark in answering and raising questions about male love, sex, friendship, and intimacy in the early
modern era. It is a revaluation that takes into account how widely this matter has been debated over the last ten years and
is an invaluable contribution to Gay, Lesbian, and Queer Studies; sexual, social, and cultural history, as well as Early Modern
and Enlightenment Studies.

QUEERING THE NON/HUMAN (Ashgate, 2008), edited by Noreen Giffney & Myra J. Hird Description
What might it mean
to queer the Human? By extension, how is the Human employed within queer theory? These essays invite a reconsideration
of the way we think about queer theory, the category of the Human and the act of queering itself. This interdisciplinary volume
gathers together essays by international pioneering scholars in queer theory, critical theory, cultural studies and science
studies who have written on topics as diverse as Christ, antichrist, dogs, starfish, werewolves, vampires, murderous dolls,
cartoons, corpses, bacteria, nanoengineering, biomesis, the incest taboo, the death drive and the ‘queer’ in queer
theory. Contributors include Robert Azzarello, Karen Barad, Phillip A. Bernhardt-House, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, Claire Colebrook,
Noreen Giffney, Judith Halberstam, Donna J. Haraway, Eva Hayward, Myra J. Hird, Karalyn Kendall, Vicki Kirby, Alice Kuzniar,
Patricia MacCormack, Robert Mills, Luciana Parisi and Erin Runions.
Endorsements
'Breathtaking
in its interdisciplinarity and breadth, Queering the Non/Human is essential reading for anyone interested in literary
and cultural studies, queer theory, science studies, gender and sexuality .... in short for anyone who is a serious thinker.
I admire this volume not just for its insight but for its sheer panache: the essays are at once serious arguments and great
fun to read'. Professor Jeffrey J. Cohen, George Washington University, USA.
'Finally,
a collection that truly captures the spirit of critique and the process of wonder that queer theory promises yet too often
fails to deliver. Queering the Non/Human is an indispensable interdisciplinary text for anyone and everyone who has
ever contemplated (or even presumed) what it means to be human'. Professor Nikki Sullivan, Macquarie University, Australia.

TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY LESBIAN STUDIES (Binghampton, New York: Harrington Park
Press/Taylor and Francis, 2007), edited by Noreen Giffney & Katherine O'Donnell
This book was published simultaneously as:
(i) LESBIAN STUDIES: GENEALOGIES, READINGS AND THEORIES', a special double issue of The Journal of Lesbian
Studies, 11(1/2), 2007, edited by Noreen Giffney & Katherine O'Donnell
(ii) LESBIAN STUDIES: IDENTITIES AND LOCATIONS, a special double issue of The Journal of Lesbian Studies,
11(3/4), 2007, edited by Noreen Giffney & Katherine O'Donnell
Description
Twenty-First Century Lesbian Studies focuses on the field's institutionalization in the humanities and social
sciences, examining how the term 'lesbian' is used in activist, community and cultural contexts, and how its use impacts on
the lives of women who have chosen it as an identity. The book's contributors include many of the world's foremost experts
in lesbian studies, as well as scholars whose primary research is in the study of bisexuality, transsexuality and transgender,
intersex and queer theory. The innovative essays touch on five individual themes--'Genealogies', 'Readings', 'Theories', 'Identities'
and 'Locations'--as they explore he past, present and future of lesbian studies.
Twenty-First Century Lesbian Studies places the term 'lesbian' at the center of analysis, whether as a concept,
an identity, a political position or an object choice. The book's cutting-edge essays examine the various meanings of 'lesbian';
the risks taken by women who live and/or act, write and speak as lesbians; current genealogical myths; and the lives, studies
and activism of lesbians who exist in a range of geographical and historical contexts.
Endorsement
'Twenty-First Century Lesbian Studies alternately challenges and defends, questions and champions lesbian studies,
ultimately invigorating the field'. Professor Linda Garber, Santa Clara University, California, USA.

THE LESBIAN PREMODERN, a collection of essays in progress (under review), edited by Noreen
Giffney, Michelle M. Sauer & Diane Watt
Description
Over
the next four years every journal whose concern is sexuality [should] ask a pod of writers who do not usually read over one
another’s shoulders to do precisely that. Let five or six read the same text—new, old, in between—and write
about it. Do that every year for half a decade and see where we are. I doubt that any of us will convert any of us. But I
do suspect that such conversations in print will spur conversations elsewhere (Michele Aina Barale, ‘Of hyacinths’
in Twenty-First Century Lesbian Studies (Harrington Park Press/Taylor and Francis,
2007), eds. Noreen Giffney and Katherine O’Donnell).
The Lesbian Premodern is a collection of essays that responds to, and
adapts, Barale’s suggestions by inviting some key scholars in the field of lesbian and sexuality studies to take part
in an innovative conversation in print. This textual discussion will transgress traditional period boundaries and offer a
radical new methodology for writing lesbian history and geography. The Lesbian Premodern
aims to engage those interested primarily in modern lesbian history and literature with the important and often overlooked
theoretical, empirical and textual work being done on female same-sex desire and identity in relation to premodern cultures.
The central question guiding the volume's contributors is this: what might it mean to read the work of premodernists, not simply as informed by theory, but as theory in and of itself? Work presented here intervenes in numerous key debates in gender and sexuality studies,
including those relating to periodisation, temporality,
historiography, memory and archivisation, disciplinary boundaries, subjectivity, identification and relationality.

READING EVE KOSOFSKY SEDGWICK, a special cluster of Irish Feminist Review, 3 (2007).
Description
In
recognition of the enormous influence Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's work has exerted, and continues to exercise, over queer theory,
we organised a retrospective of her writings as part of 'The(e)ories: Advanced Seminars for Queer Research' at University
College Dublin, Ireland in September 2005, entitled 'Reading Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick: A Retrospective 1980-2005'. The event
included two day-long seminars: 'Queer Imaginings' and 'Looking Back, Thinking Forward', in addition to an evening lecture
by Eve herself entitled 'Goddess Proust' and a separate, informal discussion with her of her oeuvre. These three essays give
a flavour of the kinds of conversations we were having during those heady days of September 2005. They serve to show, above
all, that any engagement with Sedgwick's work involves making a commitment to weave and interweave oneself among and between
and through and beside the theoretical, the political and the personal. ContentsNoreen Giffney &
