Queer BondsLeo Bersani (UCB Professor Emeritus)
Conference
The Queer Bonds conference brings together a community of Berkeley, UC, and outside scholars from a wide range of Humanities disciplines whose work in the broadly defined field of queer studies has, in recent years, moved in exciting new directions. One impetus of this work is to explore queer forms of sociability, in the attempt to rethink the relational structures which organize our experience of the social. A second impetus - a counter-trajectory - insists rather on the forces of disarticulation always at work in any instantiation of the social. These two ways of thinking about bonds mark two divergent trajectories in queer studies; in this symposium, we shall attempt to think them together. Running over three days, Queer Bonds will provide a forum for critical dialogue among faculty members, invited speakers, community members, and students.
