Description
This conference explores the potential of the arts to represent, explore, challenge and create modes of queer lived, felt and embodied experience. Taking ‘feeling’ in all its meanings – touch, hapticity, sensation, emotion, a hunch or gut reaction, as well as tentativeness when ‘feeling one’s way’ – the conference will explore the complex relationships to culture and society that are at stake in queer artworks and queer experience.
Keynote lecture by Sara Ahmed
Convenors: Geoffrey Maguire (Cambridge), Fraser Riddell (Oxford) and Tom Smith (St Andrews)
