#queer rhetoric

In my research for my paper on queer rhetoric in literature I present something that tore its way into my mind like a rabid dog through a cat flap after reading the scathing 1976 New York Times review of Interview With The Vampire

Queer Rhetoric: Carl Wittman's blueprint for liberation

I was going over queer rhetorics and was keen on reading some not from the viewpoint of politicians

So I found Carl Wittman's "Refugees from Amerika: A Gay Manifesto".

Very powerful. Very Poignant. This does not reflect all of my views however there can be a lot learned from this.

When we are safe to, we must come out and show we are here. We are apart of the community. That means supporting each other, loving one another, and starting our own institutions. For every homophobic bakery that refuses a queer, two new bakeries must emerge.

It is important to note that the author was a white, middle class queer man in the 70's. That being said, his views are from his own perspective and may not and DO NOT reflect the entirety of the community at thay time.

That being said, I feel changed after reading this. Remember: we are here, we are queer, and we won't dissapear.

Queer Geographies, 99

This review essay asks how the field of rhetorical studies can center intersectional queer and trans perspectives within conversations about space, place, mobility, and mapping. What difference does it make to center queer and trans sensibilities, bodies, and practices as central to the production of spatialities? How has our criticism contextualized the study of space and place in ways that would inhibit centering queer positionalities, temporalities, public cultures, and intimacies?

More so, as Phaedra C. Pezzullo and Catalina de Onís note, the turn to space or environmental topoi in situ signals a growing ecological awareness from which to examine social and planetary precarity. Space matters. Space is alive, dynamic. Space is a medium of power. These are foundational tenets of a rhetoric of space and place that have been well established. And yet in accounting for orientations of spatiality as a social process or struggle over belonging, queer and trans perspectives on the matter seem to have fallen off the map.
