Omschrijving
Explores how seventeenth-century French theatre represents queer desire. In this book, the first queer theoretical treatment of canonical French theatre, Jennifer Eun-Jung Row proposes that these velocities, moments of unseemly haste or strategic delay, sparked new kinds of attachments, intimacies, and erotics.
“Queer Velocities makes significant contributions to multiple fields, first and foremost to early modern theater studies, but also and no less significantly to queer studies and to queer temporality studies. Jennifer Row displays brilliant theoretical creativity grounded in rigorous historical erudition.” —Lewis Seifert, author of Manning the Margins: Masculinity and Writing in Seventeenth-Century France
“It turns out that our understanding of the anti-normativity of queer time reflects twenty-first century assumptions about how time functions. With Queer Velocities, Row takes us back in time to early modern France when queer velocities operated as part of a temporal regime not yet solidified. In so doing, she contextualizes queer time through classical French tragedy as she brings out the temporal queerness of the early modern.” —Todd W. Reeser, author of Setting Plato Straight: Translating Ancient Sexuality in the Renaissance
Jennifer Eun-Jung Row is an assistant professor in the Department of French and Italian at the University of Minnesota.
