(Extra)ordinary Relationalities: Methodological Suggestions for Studying Queer Relationalities Through the Prism of Memory, Sensation, and Affect

Abstract

This article advances specific methodological suggestions for the study of queer relationalities. Arguing that previous queer scholarship focusing on methodology advances suggestions that are too general to be usefully applied to the study of queer relationalities, this article contends that researchers of queer relationalities can describe and analyze ephemeral and covert instances of queer relationalities in relation to memory, sensation, and affect in order to render them legible, illuminate them, and prevent their subsequent erasure by power. To accomplish this, this article explores three instances of queer relationalities to illustrate how these methodological suggestions can be applied. Additionally, this article aims to intervene in what is generally perceived as constituting proper data in scholarship.
