Following debates surrounding the anti-social turn in queer theory in recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the role of activism, the limits of the political, and the question of normativity and ethics. Queer Futures engages with these concerns, exploring issues of complicity and agency with a central focus on the material and economic as well as philosophical dimensions of sexual politics. Presenting some of the latest research in queer theory, this book draws together diverse perspectives to shed light on possible ’queer futures’ when different affective, temporal, and local contexts are brought into play. As such, it will appeal to scholars of cultural, political, literary, and social theory, as well as those with interests in gender and sexuality, activism, and queer theory.

Ausgehend von der These, dass hoch- und spätmittelalterliche wissenschaftliche, pragmatische und literarische Darstellungsweisen eines Wissens von sexuellem Begehren, Geschlecht und Körper sich durch ein eigentümliches Zusammentreffen von Reden und Schweigen auszeichnen, untersucht diese Arbeit in Texten des Thomas von Aquin, Robertus de Flamesburia, Berthold von Regensburg und Albertus Magnus, in den Quaestiones salernitanae und im Sachsenspiegel sowie im Eneasroman, Nibelungenlied, Tristan und Prosalancelot die konkreten Formen und Effekte dieses Zusammentreffens, das mit dem Begriff der (Dis-)Artikulation gefasst wird. Diese unterscheidet sich durch die besondere Form der Verschränkung von Artikulation und Nichtartikulation von anderen Figuren der sprachlichen Absenz wie etwa Schweigen oder Leerstellen. Durch die Einklammerung des Dis- soll die Möglichkeit einer Artikulation gerade durch ihr Gegenteil bzw. ihre Verformung impliziert werden. Damit geht es weder um ein absolutes Schweigen noch um ein lückenloses Reden, sondern um eine dialektische Verknüpfung von Verschweigen und Besprechen, die über die Absicht, etwas nicht zu sagen, eine spezifische Form des Sprechens, die (Dis-)Artikulation, als Schweigeeffekt hervorbringt.
