- Description
- This volume is composed of research presented at the fourth international Queering Paradigms Conference (QP4), held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2012. In line with the QP project ethos of bringing together diverse epistemological and geographical allegiances, this volume intends to contribute to building a queer postcolonial critique of the current politics of queer activism and of queer knowledge production and circulation. However, rather than perpetuating the North-South dichotomy, the papers gathered here are an effort to establish global dialogues that crisscross those axes and attempts at queering epistemologies, socio-political bonds, and bodies, embodiments and identities. The authors try to trouble unequal geographies of knowledge (the North as an exporter of theories and the South as their importer).
