Abstract

The essays in the volume at hand comprise the first translations into German of US-American Queer Theory classics. They explore the complex interrelation of sexuality, identity, and spatial positioning. The essays intentions are to reconceive the relationship between sexuality and space, taking as their points of departure both the critique of the supposed transparency of the separation between private and public as well as the spatial images of the closet and coming out. The authors plead for a thinking that allows for the complex praxis of opening, occupying, and experiencing queer spaces—and at the same time they present this in an inspiring and exciting manner.
