| Zusammenfassung: | Uncovers the queer logics of premodern religious and secular textsPutting premodern theology and poetry in dialogue with contemporary theory and politics, Queer Faith reassess the commonplace view that a modern veneration of sexual monogamy and fidelity finds its roots in Protestant thought. What if this narrative of "history and tradition" suppresses the queerness of its own foundational texts? Queer Faith examines key works of the prehistory of monogamy—from Paul to Luther, Petrarch to Shakespeare—to show that writing assumed to promote fidelity in fact articulates the affordances of promiscuity, both in its sexual sense and in its larger designation of all that is impure and disorderly. At the same time, Melissa E. Sanchez resists casting promiscuity as the ethical, queer alternative to monogamy, tracing instead how ideals of sexual liberation are themselves attached to nascent racial and economic hierarchies. Because discourses of fidelity and freedom are also discourses on racial and sexual positionality, excavating the complex historical entanglement of faith, race, and eroticism is urgent to contemporary queer debates about normativity, agency, and relationality.Deliberately unfaithful to disciplinary norms and national boundaries, this book assembles new conceptual frameworks at the juncture of secular and religious thought, political and aesthetic form. It thereby enlarges the contexts, objects, and authorized genealogies of queer scholarship. Retracing a history that did not have to be, Sanchez recovers writing that inscribes radical queer insights at the premodern foundations of conservative and heteronormative culture |

Okt 2020) Uncovers the queer logics of premodern religious and secular textsPutting premodern theology and poetry in dialogue with contemporary theory and politics, Queer Faith reassess the commonplace view that a modern veneration of sexual monogamy and fidelity finds its roots in Protestant thought. What if this narrative of "history and tradition" suppresses the queerness of its own foundational texts? Queer Faith examines key works of the prehistory of monogamy—from Paul to Luther, Petrarch to Shakespeare—to show that writing assumed to promote fidelity in fact articulates the affordances of promiscuity, both in its sexual sense and in its larger designation of all that is impure and disorderly. At the same time, Melissa E. Sanchez resists casting promiscuity as the ethical, queer alternative to monogamy, tracing instead how ideals of sexual liberation are themselves attached to nascent racial and economic hierarchies. Because discourses of fidelity and freedom are also discourses on racial and sexual positionality, excavating the complex historical entanglement of faith, race, and eroticism is urgent to contemporary queer debates about normativity, agency, and relationality.Deliberately unfaithful to disciplinary norms and national boundaries, this book assembles new conceptual frameworks at the juncture of secular and religious thought, political and aesthetic form. It thereby enlarges the contexts, objects, and authorized genealogies of queer scholarship. Retracing a history that did not have to be, Sanchez recovers writing that inscribes radical queer insights at the premodern foundations of conservative and heteronormative culture In English Edmund Spenser Jacques Lacan John Calvin John Donne John Milton Judith Butler Martin Luther Mary Wroth Michel Foucault Philip Sidney Protestant Reformation William Shakespeare adultery in literature classical friendship devotional poetry divorce in literature forgiveness in literature interiority libertine poetry marriage in literature marriage law new materialism paranoid reading posthumanism queer theory;race and poetry;Renaissance lyric poetry;promiscuity in literature;monogamy in literature;Christian theology;postsecularism;theology in literature;religion and literature;Protestantism;lyric poetry;Saint Paul;Saint Augustine;Francesco Petrarch;conversion in literature;prayer in literature;confession in literature reparative reading sexual violence in literature sexuality in literature sonnet sequences sonnets RELIGION / Sexuality & Gender Studies bisacsh Promiscuity Queer theory Religion Philosophy Sexual minorities https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781479834044 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
