Queer Form: Aesthetics, Race, and the Violences of the Social

This special issue wagers that a focus on aesthetic form need not be a turn away from the politicized concern with race and social and geopolitical inequities so critical within contemporary queer studies. In making this claim, we simultaneously reach back to early queer literary scholarship engaged with structuralism and aesthetics and reach through and around contemporary queer theory into current conversations on racialization, materiality, and sensation.
