Queer Communication Studies

Abstract

This essay charts the development of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender studies—sometimes called queer studies—in communication since the early 1980s. It considers the intellectual and political stakes in a project closely connected to movements for sexual liberation and also describes the shifting significance of such terms as gay and queer and the people and practices they signify. The analysis combines theories of subjectivity with questions about sexual representation in public and private, opening (and closing) with commentary on the social meanings and hierarchies of sexual difference.
