"In recent years, lesbians and gay men have developed a new, aggressive style of politics. At the same time, innovative intellectual energies have made queer theory an explosive field of study. In "Fear of a Queer Planet", Michael Warner draws on emerging new queer politics, and shows how queer activists have come to challenge basic assumptions about the social and political world. Existing traditions of theory - Marxism, cultural studies, psychoanalysis, anthropology, legal theory, nationalism, and antinationalism - have too often presupposed a heterosexual society, as the essays in this volume demonstrate. "Fear of a Queer Planet" suggests a new agenda for social theory. It moves beyond the idea that lesbians and gay men share a minority identity and special interests and that their issues can be subordinated to more general social conflicts. Instead, Warner and the other contributors to this volume show that queer sexualities take many forms, are the subject of many kinds of conflict and struggles, and must be taken as a starting point in thinking about cultural politics. This collection explores the impact of ACT UP, Queer Nation, multiculturalism, the new religious right, outing, queerness, postmodernism, and other shifts in the politics of sexuality. The authors featured speak from different backgrounds of gender, race, nationality, and discipline. Together, they show how struggles over sexuality have profound implications for progressive politics, social theory, and cultural studies." --

"In 2012 and 2013, masses of French citizens took to the streets to demonstrate against a bill on gay marriage. But demonstrators were not merely denouncing its damaging effects; they were also claiming that its origins lay in "gender theory," an ideology imported from the United States. By "gender theory" they meant queer theory in general and, more specifically, the work of noted scholar Judith Butler. Now French opponents to gay marriage, supported by the Vatican, are attacking school curricula that explore male/female equality, which they claim is further proof of gender theory's growing empire. They fear that this pro-homosexual propaganda will not only pervert young people, but destroy the French nation itself. What are the various facets of the French response to queer theory, from the mobilization of activists and the seminars of scholars to the emergence of queer media and the decision to translate this or that kind of book? Ironically, perceiving queer theory as a threat to France means overlooking the fact that queer theory itself has been largely inspired by French thinkers. By examining mutual influences across the Atlantic, Bruno Perreau analyzes changes in the idea of national identity in France and the United States. In the process, he offers a new theory of minority politics: an ongoing critique of norms is not only what gives rise to a feeling of belonging; it is the very thing that founds citizenship."--Publisher's description. Après l'ouverture du mariage aux couples homosexuels en France, les mouvements réactionnaires ont orchestré une vaste campagne contre la "théorie du genre" , dangereuse propagande venue tout droit des campus américains. Bruno Perreau démontre que cette campagne s'attaque en réalité à la théorie queer, précisément parce que celle-ci est largement inspirée de penseurs français tels que Foucault, Beauvoir et Derrida. Il propose une enquête sur les liens entre identité, communauté et nation en France : si la théorie queer dérange autant, c'est parce qu'elle soutient l'idée que le sentiment d'appartenance ne naît pas d'un socle de valeurs et de références communes mais, au contraire, de la capacité à en contester le bien-fondé. Qui a peur de la théorie queer ? présente les nombreuses facettes de la réponse à la théorie queer en France, de la Manif pour tous au militantisme lesbien, gay, bi et trans, en passant par les séminaires de recherche, l'émergence de nouveaux médias, les politiques de traduction ou encore les débats autour du nationalisme et de l'intersectionnalité. Contre l'idée de "tyrannie des minorités" , Bruno Perreau propose une théorie critique de la représentation, plus attentive et plus hospitalière.

"Il restait à écrire une histoire ordinaire de l'homosexualité, qui rende compte des réalités que taisent les livres d'histoire et les films documentaires. Érik Rémès le fait brillamment en livrant un témoignage exceptionnel sur la vie des homosexuels français dans les dernières années du XXe siècle. Après la dépénalisation en 1982, il décrit entre humour et gravité des années pleines de contrastes : années de la fête malgré la stigmatisation, affirmation de la fierté dans les affres du sida, progression des droits sur fond d'homophobie. Pride, chroniques de la révolution gay est un recueil d'articles, éditoriaux, billets d'humeurs, coups de gueule, et témoignages, dans leurs versions intégrales non censurées, parus entre 1992 et 2005 dans la presse gay et généraliste : Libération, Nova magazine, Gai Pied Hebdo, Illico, etc. En douze chapitres : Visibilité, Mariage, Homoparentalité, Homophobie, Hétérophobie, Politique, Homonormativité, Subversion, Voyage, Drogues, Sexualité, Prévention, Années sida." --

Puar argues that configurations of sexuality, race, gender, nation, class and ethnicity are realigning in relation to contemporary forces of securitization, counterterrorism, and nationalism, and examines how liberal politics serve to incorporate certain queer subjects into the fold of the nation-state.
