"In their stating that 'Queer and Europe defamiliarize each other...' in their introduction to What's Queer About Europe, Dasgupta and Rosello open up a wonderfully inventive field of uncanny mismatches between subject and method. They unleash the creative justaposition of different cultural and political materials that range from the Roman travels of Montaigne to the Eurovsion Song Contest, from the critique of colonialism to the critical, queer subject in contemporary French cinema, or the strangely contradictory needs for the normative and the queer in the legal regulation of migration. This is truly a feast of trans-disciplinary defamiliarizing, at once learned and witty, challenging and profoundly necessary if queer studies or area studies are to take on a new vivacity that embodies the commonality and dissensus of out times." -- -Adrian Rifkin University of London "This book stages multiple encounters between Europe and Queer as two paradigms of transgression - an unusual constellation that results in an imaginative set of investigations of different identity intersections, moving freely across time and space, and between cultural and political contexts in a wide range of genres and media. The essays deal with fascinating historical and contemporary phenomena and are written in a mode of communicative critique that opens up inner contradictions through unexpected dialogues. The result is an invitation to queer Europe transnationally, empowering but without utopian illusions, and far beyond the ordinary discourses in these two fascinating fields." -- -Johan Fornas Professor of Media and Communication Studies, Sodertorn University, Sweden, author of Signifying Europe
