商品描述
This edited collection provides a critical forum for scholars to examine the evolution of queer kinship--encompassing the wide range of relationships, both biological and nonbiological, that queer individuals choose (or are compelled) to establish--through its representation in literature over time and across cultural contexts. In particular, the ten essays in this collection utilize close readings, philosophy, and theory to address the following question: How can we conceptualize the nature of queer kinship based on its textual representations?
To this end, the essays engage with a diverse array of texts, from Buddhist writing to contemporary song lyrics, French literature from the 17th and 18th centuries to contemporary drama and novels from Sweden, Israel, and the Anglosphere. This broad temporal and geographic scope yields new critical insights into the varied ontologies of queer kinship and highlights the inherent paradoxes and fundamental messiness in queer kinship formations across different times, spaces, and contexts. In doing so, the collection makes a significant and timely contribution to the fields of kinship studies, queer studies, and comparative literature.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本編輯集為學者提供了一個批判性的論壇，以檢視酷兒親屬關係的演變——涵蓋酷兒個體選擇（或被迫）建立的各種生物性和非生物性的關係——透過其在文學中的表現，隨著時間和文化背景的變遷而變化。特別是，本集中的十篇論文利用細讀、哲學和理論來探討以下問題：我們如何根據文本表現來概念化酷兒親屬關係的本質？
為此，這些論文涉及多樣的文本，從佛教文獻到當代歌曲歌詞，從17和18世紀的法國文學到來自瑞典、以色列和英語圈的當代戲劇和小說。這種廣泛的時間和地理範疇為酷兒親屬關係的多樣本體論提供了新的批判性見解，並突顯了在不同時間、空間和背景下酷兒親屬關係形成中的固有悖論和根本混亂。藉此，本集對親屬研究、酷兒研究和比較文學領域做出了重要且及時的貢獻。
