Founded by Noreen Giffney and Michael O'Rourke, Queer
Interventions is an exciting, fresh and unique new series
designed to publish innovative, experimental and
theoretically-engaged work in the burgeoning field of queer
studies.
The aim of the series is to attract work which is highly
theoretical; queer work which intersects with other theoretical
schools (feminism, postcolonial theory, psychoanalysis, Marxism);
work which is accessible but values difficulty; ethical and
political projects; and most importantly work which is
self-reflexive about methodological and geographical location. It
is also keen to commission empirical work which is meta-theoretical
in focus.
The series is interdisciplinary in focus and publishes
monographs and collections of essays by new and established
scholars. It promotes and maintains high scholarly standards of
research and is attentive to queer theory's shortcomings, silences,
hegemonies and exclusions. It also encourages independence,
creativity and experimentation: to make a queer theory that matters
and recreate it as something important; a space where new and
exciting things can happen.
