Queer Supply in Literature
The eighth issue of the ”Queer Literature” file, published by the refereed journal of queer studies KaosQueer +, has been published.
“In the eighth issue of Chaos Q +, we pursued queer as an attitude in literature. In the text itself, in the identity of the author, in the act of writing, in the destruction of canonical, mainstream literary representation, and in the struggle against the (hetero) norm, queer appears both as a critical method and as a position against (hetero) normativity.
“When it comes to queer, especially in Turkish literature studies, the first thing that comes to mind is whether there is LGBTI + representation in the text. However, the presence of a queer vein in the text does not stem from the diversity of identities and experiences other than heterosexuality or nativity. Contrary to popular belief, the fact that the author of the text is gay, bisexual or trans, or that the text is LGBTI + inclusive does not directly queer it. Queer supply in text, criticism, or writing; challenges a literary representation, fictional elements, fiction, genre, and the practice of writing itself, blurs its boundaries, opposes the construction of each construction with dual oppositions, and opposes the practice of domination of categories to another, The question lies in the question of the inherent creation and politics of monolithic and stereotypical reception of these contexts, ignoring the diversity of identity and experience. As a matter of fact, since there is no critical theory or action on queer sexual orientation and gender identity, it is possible to follow the traces of queer in all disciplines, creations and in short everywhere.
"Queer, and methods of intervention in the areas of social sciences in Turkey today any intersection and makes himself sound art has created a place. We hope that the queer's penetration into interdisciplinary studies and critical perspectives on Turkish literature will become widespread, and both this file and all the issues of KaosQ + will create opportunities in these two channels.
