Este artículo explora la puesta en página de historietas en las que los personajes masculinos entablan ―como nudo central en los relatos― lazos de homosociabilidad. Exploramos este concepto desarrollado por Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick (1985) que resulta productivo para analizar cómo se construyen modelos de género a partir de los vínculos entre personajes masculinos en las narrativas  y en nuestro caso en una selección de historietas.

Ruez and Cockayne point out that queer theorist Eve Sedgwick’s reflections on paranoid and reparative readings accompanying one another came directly out of her queer political as well as textual practice in the U.S. Wrongly dismissed as mundane, this crucial contextualizing work is something geographers do especially well. Indeed, understanding the context for Sedgwick’s theories of paranoid and reparative reading is vital as we reflect on how her concepts travel across time and space.

This chapter offers an account of central issues and themes in queer theory, with particular attention to the challenges it has posed to the concepts of normativity, identity, and the category of “woman.” It explores queer theory’s emergence from lesbian and gay studies, and considers its relation to feminist philosophy and trans theory. The chapter outlines the founding contributions of Judith Butler and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, along with several other influential queer theorists, and traces the concept of heteronormativity from its central place in queer theory’s earliest works to more recent reconsiderations.

In 2013 Diriye Osman wrote Fairytales for Lost Children, a striking collection of short stories that follow queer Somali immigrants in Kenya and Britain. This chapter shows how Osman’s creates a radically queer migritude text through his complex philosophy of temporality, home, and freedom. It also examines instances of queer liberalism and liberal (in)tolerance of queerness in Somali writer Nurrudin Farah’s Hiding in Plain Sight (2014). Building on Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Robert Reid-Pharr, and David Eng, this chapter argues that neoliberal globalization, nationalism, and the ways in which these forces necessarily manage or police movement cannot be disentangled from heteronationalist discourses and laws circumscribing sexuality, and that queer liberalism and liberal toleration of queerness both practice and promote intolerance.

This chapter examines a number of poems by John Ashbery. Ashbery’s poetry explores doubts about lyric expression’s dependence on its audience that are analogous to those voiced by Plath and Stevens. But like the novels discussed in earlier chapters, Ashbery’s lyrics also implicitly accept their speakers’ dependence, for their self-awareness, on audiences whose presence and attentiveness they cannot control. The mirror serves these speakers as a model for the intense, careful outward scrutiny that they constantly dream of but cannot consistently secure. As Ashbery’s speakers mistake for such mirrors paintings, daydreams, and natural landscapes, they reflect on the imperfect self-knowledge they can attain in a world from which such forms of outward support are not forthcoming—as well as on the way this desire for self-knowledge clouds their capacity to relate to their surrounding world. This notion of affect is further explored by juxtaposition against the views of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick.

This essay argues that the immensely influential concept of affect as unstructured proto-sensation that is primarily associated with Gilles Deleuze and Brian Massumi is insufficient to understand the roles of affect in religion and other formations of power. The Deleuzian approach to affect fails to reckon adequately with the animality of the human body, with its evolutionarily particular bio-architecture that affords it a finitely multiple repertoire of affects. Moving to religion by way of Sylvan Tomkins, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and Sara Ahmed, the essay argues that the felt bodily needs and consequent affective economy of which religion is the product hinge on shame and dignity, and it proceeds to illustrate its claim with reference to Saba Mahmood’s analysis of the women’s Mosque Movement in pre-revolutionary Egypt.

In this chapter, Halley reflects on her friendship with Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, focusing on the ways in which it provided a conduit between queer theory in the humanities and legal studies. She compares the roles of paranoia, feminism, and law in Sedgwick’s work and her own, particularly as her friendship with Sedgwick turned on cohering and conflicting emotional and political orientations to these key elements of their shared conversation. Because Sedgwick profoundly altered the conditions of possibility in the humanities, while Halley moved into legal studies, this remembrance is also a reflection on the possibilities for interdisciplinary love and longing.
