Unsettling Sexuality: Queer Horizons in the Long Eighteenth Century challenges the traditional ways that scholarship has approached sexuality, gender nonconformity, and sex (as well as its absence) in the long eighteenth century. Drawing from recent and emerging criticisms in Middle-Eastern and Asian studies, Black studies, and Native American and Indigenous studies, the collected authors perform intersectional queer readings, reimagine queer historiographic methods, and spearhead new citational models that can invigorate the field. Contributors read with and against diverse European, transatlantic, and global archives to explore mutually informative frameworks of gender, sexuality, race, indigeneity, ability, and class. In charting multidirectional queer horizons, this collection locates new prospective desires and intimacies in the literature, culture, and media of the period to imagine new directions and simultaneously unsettle eighteenth-century studies.

Descriere
Unsettling Sexuality brings queer, trans, and asexual lenses to bear on the long eighteenth century. Drawing from Middle-Eastern and Asian studies, African American studies, and Native American and Indigenous studies, the authors pioneer intersectional readings of European, transatlantic, and global eighteenth-century archives that unsettle traditional ways of approaching the field, to welcome sexuality as something that can resist rigidity.
