Queer lives give rise to a vast array of objects: the things we fill our houses with, the gifts we share with our friends, the commodities we consume at work and at play, the clothes and accessories we wear, various reminders of state power, as well as the analogue and digital technologies we use to communicate with one another. But what makes an object queer?

The sixty-three chapters in Queer Objects consider this question in relation to lesbian, gay and transgender communities across time, cultures, and space. In this unique international collaboration, well-known and newer writers traverse world history to write about fabulous, captivating, and transgressive items ranging from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings and Roman artefacts to political placards, snapshots, sex toys, and the smartphone.

Recenzii

"The queer angel of history has brought us from New Zealand this remarkable book of objects that have aroused memories – involuntary and voluntary, painful and uplifting, individual and communal. A deeply moving exploration of history, memory, and queerness."

"I’ve been waiting for a book like Queer Objects that examines the stuff of material culture through the sensibilities of many contributors. Each chapter reveals insider knowledge of a particular item, framing it in passionate queer context that triggers our own associations and memories. This is a gorgeous book; you’ll want to keep it out in plain view."

"In this masterful volume, the material culture of the LGBTQ+ community is sumptuously depicted. Both coffee-table book and academic tome, Queer Objects is richly illustrated with huge, colorful photos on nearly every one of its 400-plus pages. Well balanced in that the multiplicity of the artifacts reflects the rich diversity of the gay community, Queer Objects is difficult to put down. We never knew we needed this book so much. Essential."
