Abstract "Reading Literature and Theory at the Intersections of Queer and Class focuses on the crossover of queer and class, examining a range of texts across languages and genres and spanning nearly a century. This collection of essays considers the intersection of queer and class in relation to literary aesthetics, a locus in which the interaction between sexuality and class is rendered with lucidity. Each chapter puts forward class and its manifestations as central to queer analysis of literary and cultural texts in historical and contemporary contexts. The readings adopt Kimberl©♭ Crenshaw's intersectional paradigm by pointing to its activist as well as literary precedents and elaborations. These essays emerged from a long-standing collaboration among three Central European universities whose faculty and graduate students established a joint queer literature and theory research seminar. They are supplemented by a roundtable discussion in which the contributing authors and their colleagues discuss their interest in the overlap between queer and class in theory and academic practice. Reading Literature and Theory at the Intersections of Queer and Class is intended for scholars in gender and queer studies"-- Provided by publisher.
