Abstract:

Critical Sexuality Studies (CSS) and Lavender Languages/Linguistics
(LLL) are leading modes of inquiry in two different fields of
sexuality studies. In this edited collection, chapters reveal how
these can be combined to produce a new approach to analyzing language
use, sexuality and gender, and discourse on authority and power.
The book demonstrates how together LLL and CSS iterate each other
through their mutual concern with sexuality, gender, and power,
especially when considering the materiality of daily life. Authors
then compare CSS to other fields of sexuality studies to reveal
commonalities and tensions that are addressed via the LLL-based
interventions exemplified in this volume. The body of the book
organizes examples of Lavender Languages projects around a four-part
CSS framework, with an introductory essay for each section indicating
the connections between the CSS theme and the LLL examples. The volume
concludes with reflections showing how CSS interests in sexuality and
power benefits from LLL with its emphasis on socially focused studies
of discourse and text.
Strengthening pathways to future knowledge-making, this book provides
a detailed roadmap for scholarly and activist engagements in
language-centered critical sexuality studies.
