Special session: Feeling queerly: Homonormativity and the Politics of Queer Affect
Session intro: How does ‘queerness’ feel? And how does this feeling of queerness travel, transform itself, and sediment in bodies, places, and movements? This panel rearticulates recent interdisciplinary research on affect through the lens of queer of color critique to explore how, locally specific LGBT practices enable or destabilize the emergence of a (trans)national queer “structure of feeling” (Williams) that imagines subjects as bound—however momentarily—within a wide range of affective networks extending beyond the politico-discursive. By looking simultaneously to the movement of queer affects and to affect as political movement, we ask how affective similarities and disparities are conveyed and felt across geographic, political, racial, or affinal boundaries, all the while interrogating the limits and preconditions of entry into these translocal communities of queer feeling. Each paper calls into question how a politics of queer affect produces feeling as the ontology by which we have come to exist as queer beings (we are queer because we feel queer). Drawing upon recent critiques of homonormative neoliberalism, we argue that queer structures of feeling not only fail to maintain their coherence in the diverse material sites in and through which queer bodies, practices, and ideologies are created, experienced, and given name, but in fact, globalized queer affect may be mobilized as a technology for the policing of ‘perverse’ practices, ‘abnormal’ identity constellations, and ‘deviant’ political and sexual desires.

Special session: Gay Cities
Session intro: Through an examination of gay spaces in three metropolitan areas, as well as the representation thereof in literature and film, the speakers hope to establish a topography of contemporary interactions, uses, and representations of the gay urban environments of Tokyo, Paris, and Mexico City.  The studies will look at the ways in which each of the cities is inhabited, explored, and “queered” by a gay male population that uses the spaces as places in which to explore urban queerness and in which certain aspects of heteronormativity and homonormativity are subverted.

Sesión especial: Encarnando deseo: cuerpos, subjetividades y reconocimiento
Session intro: Este panel explora la normatividad de la mirada masculina y las transformaciones corporales de sujetos de deseo.  Analizando reconocimiento y seducción se debaten los efectos de la producción de subjetividades políticas y sexuales en los entrecruzamientos de la cosificación del deseo para el mercado y movimientos sociales.  Más allá de las agendas de grupo e intensiones individuales, la fricción de los cuerpos transformados contra el heteropatriarcado genera trasgresiones y reconocimientos.  Su potencial político no puede ser determinado de antemano.  Antes bien en este panel se discuten las formas para entenderlo dentro de procesos de ruptura y normalización usando material etnográfico.
