Description
The Queer Commons by Gavin Butt and Nadja Millner-Larsen explores the concept of the commons in relation to queer communities. This issue forges a connection between the common and the queer, examining how the category "queer" might open up a discourse that challenges contemporary neoliberalization. Contributors look to radical networks of care, sex, and activism within diverse queer communities, including HIV/AIDS organizing, the Wages for Housework movement, and trans/queer collectives. The issue also includes speculative provocations about the radicalism of queer commonality across time and space, from Gezi Park uprisings in Turkey to future visions of collectivity outside of the internet. Through its diverse range of perspectives and approaches, this book offers a unique insight into the ways in which queer communities are redefining what it means to be collective and how they are challenging dominant forms of neoliberalization.
