Meeting Description:

Organizers: William Leap and Heiko Motschenbacher 
For: The 27th Annual Lavender Languages Conference, March 27-29, 2020, San
Francisco, CA

Discussions of heteronormativity are often phrased in the singular, to make
the point that the privileges and exclusions associated with a heteronormative
position are consistent and invariant, regardless of temporal or social
location. In much the same way, discussions of homonormativity often assume
that certain consistencies in privilege and exclusion extend, without
variation, to same-sex and transgressive sexual subjects, regardless of
context. Understandably, discussions of hetero/homonormativity often begin to
consider how various claims to sexuality become a source -- or an obstacle --
to normative compliance. Not discounting the importance of such inquiry, this
panel remains focused on the texture of the normative in such instances. The
language-centered case studies discussed in this panel show how normative
demands and their regulatory consequences can be as variable and flexible as
are the subjects’ demonstrations of normative compliance or resistance.


Call for Papers:

The panel organizers invite colleagues to propose papers for this session
which use context-specific discussions of language and sexuality to disclose
the variability underlying hetero- and homo- (and other?) sexual
normativities. We welcome papers addressing language and normativity in
historical as well as contemporary contexts.   We are eager to receive papers
that work with languages other than English.  
For your paper to be considered for this panel, please submit your proposal to
the session organizers (email addresses below) no later than September 15. 
Conference rules ask that you limit your abstract to 350 words and include
nothing that reveals your identity.
