Paris – Boston – Berkeley – the Mexico/Texas Borderlands 1949–1990; or, Gender and Sexuality

Abstract

This chapter traces multiple pathways of feminist and queer intellectual work in the period from 1949–1990, bringing into view coexisting politics and networks, under‐acknowledged reciprocal influences, and ongoing legacies. It posits that the legacies of the mid‐to‐late twentieth century are incendiary – desiring, passion‐infused, world‐transforming. Characterized by their determination to generate powerfully erotic and angry counter‐knowledges, thinkers of this era imagined ways of collectively and individually resisting gender and sexual oppression and rethought the very constitution of gender and sexuality.
