Abstract

This anthology comprises 18 contributions which deal with LGBTIQ* history from different perspectives. It thus offers an insight into different projects and into the complexity of a LGBTIQ* history. Unfortunately, the perspective of lesbian women comes off rather badly. Also the way this fact is connected to hegemonic productions of knowledge is not reflected upon. Hence, this is a missed opportunity to ask which epistemological implications would have to be changed in order to render possible that LGBTIQ* histories become 'writeable' within the academic world.
