"Explores queer reading as a disruptive and generative practice. Brings together a diverse range of scholars and thinkers from emerging to established queer theorists. Offers readers a way into the most pressing intersections in queer theory and readings, such as trans approaches and ecological crossovers. Equips readers with a set of conversations that will generate new directions in and across queer studies and cognate fields of enquiry. What does it mean to read queerly? The Edinburgh Companion to Queer Reading upholds intersectional thinking to recognise the wide currency and appeal of queer studies for a new generation of scholars, activists, students and interested allies. Its four interconnecting parts - 'transing queer readings', 'reading queer ecologies', 'queer reading as practice' and 'reading queer futures' - speak to, and help to critique and foreground, expansive queer epistemologies. Contributors evocatively explore the relationships between queerness and genders, embodiments, race, narrative, methodology, history, literature, media and art. Bringing together emerging and established queer theorists, this timely collection demonstrates how germane queer readings, theories and companions are to the livelihood of interdisciplinary research and humanistic inquiry in the 2020s."--Publisher's website.
