Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Handbook of Queer Rhetoric
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook of Queer Rhetoric maps the ongoing becoming of queer rhetoric in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, offering a dynamic overview of the history of and scholarly research in this field.The handbook features rhetorical scholarship that explicitly uses and extends insights from work in queer and trans theories to understand and critique intersections of rhetoric, gender, class, and sexuality. More important, chapters also attend to the intersections of constructs of queerness with race, class, ability, and neurodiversity. In so doing, the book acknowledges the many debts contemporary queer theory has to work by scholars of color, feminists, and activists, inside and outside the academy. The first book of its kind, the handbook traces and documents the emergence of this subfield within rhetorical studies while also pointing the way toward new lines of inquiry, new trajectories in scholarship, and new modalities and methods oTrade Review"The Routledge Handbook of Queer Rhetoric does exactly what a handbook should do: it challenges the boundaries of the field while providing parameters, it provokes, it intervenes, and it offers something of interest for almost everyone. Smart, naughty, and cutting edge, both new and established voices come together to create a queer and trans rhetorical theory agenda that will be impossible to ignore for many years to come." - Karma R. Chávez, author of Queer Migration Politics: Activist Rhetoric and Coalitional Possibilities and The Borders of AIDS: Race, Quarantine, and Resistance "This handbook will be the definitive overview of the fabulous, diverse, and rigorous work in queer rhetorics for years to come. Contributors are well-attuned to the important ways in which identities and communities materialize in and through rhetoric, while simultaneously—through provocations, interventions, and speculations. Queer futures like the ones José Esteban Muñoz imagined when he encouraged us to cruise utopia are on full display in this indispensable volume." - Robert McRuer, author of Crip Theory: Cultural Signs of Queerness and Disability and Crip Times: Disability, Globalization, and Resistance"From the erotic to the fabulous, the resilient to the radical, this comprehensive collection maps the current landscapes of queer rhetorics as it also makes space for an un-imagined future. Queer rhetorics emerge here in all their varied possibilities." - Lisa A. Flores, University of Colorado BoulderTable of Contents1. Introduction HISTORIES, RE-HISTORIES, ARCHIVES 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Legacies of Matthew Shepard
Book SynopsisThis edited collection explores the deeper contexts and consequences surrounding the murder of Matthew Shepard. This young gay man was brutally beaten and left tied to a fence on a chill Wyoming night in October 1998. Found the next morning by two cyclists, he was transported to a hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado where he died five days later. His murder was one of the most publicized and for some, most vividly remembered, instances of hate crime related violence based on sexual orientation.Twenty years after his death, Matthew Shepard's story is at a critical turning point: memories of his murder and its meanings can either fade into the past or be reinvigorated to make up part of more meaningful investigations into LGBTQ and modern U.S. history. The multidisciplinary contributors to this book blend personal narrative with more conventional academic approaches to offer a 20-year retrospective that re-examines the subject of Shepard's murdeTable of ContentsIntroduction Part I: Where It All Started Chapter 1: Go Back, Young Man, Go Back: Peeling Away the Layers of Wyoming Culture, Down To the Earth Chapter 2: The Matt Stuff Part II: Beyond Wyoming Chapter 3: Matthew Shepard 20 Years Later: Social, Political, and Hate Crimes' Impact in Rural America Chapter 4: Metronormativity as Legacy: Matthew Shepard, Gay Rights, and Rural Place Chapter 5: Affective Aesthetics of Violence: A Legacy of Matthew Shepard Part III: Back to the Beginning Chapter 6: Whiteboard Chapter 7: Laramie Inside out: Reflections 20 Years Later, Bibliography

Taylor & Francis Queering Your Therapy Practice
Book SynopsisWinner of the AASECT Book Award for General Audience 2022!Queering Your Therapy Practice: Queer Theory, Narrative Therapy, and Imagining New Identities is the first practice-based book for therapists that presents queer theory and narrative therapy as praxis allies. This book offers fresh, hopeful resources for therapists committed to culturally responsive work with queer and trans people and the important others in their lives. It features clinical vignettes from the authorâs practice that bring to life the application of queer theory through the practice of narrative therapy and serve as teaching tools for the specific concepts and practices highlighted in individual, relational, and family therapy contexts. The text also weaves in questions for reflection and discussion, and Q-tips summarizing key points and practices. A practical resource for both seasoned therapists and students, Queering Your Practice Theory demonstrates how therapeutic practice can be informed, improved, and deepened by queer theory. Trade Review"This is an absolute must read! Dr. Tilsen’s engaging case stories and accessible writing translate the complexity and richness of queer theory into practice. This book offers therapists ethical and imaginative tools for their work with queer and transgender persons. Queering Your Therapy Practice is an incredibly timely and necessary text." – Dr. David Nylund, PhD, Professor of Social Work at California State University, Sacramento; Clinical Director, Gender Health Center "This book is one that is certain to change the way therapists at any stage in their career engage in clinical practice. Each chapter includes a case vignette (so detailed you feel as though you are in the therapy room) followed by an in-depth exploration of ways we can queer our practices. Queering Your Therapy Practice is a long overdue text that centers intersectional, ethical justice work in the practice of Narrative Therapy. I only wish I had this book when I was in grad school." – Dr. Kristen Benson, PhD, Associate Professor at Appalachian State University, Marriage and Family Therapy Program director; Director of Systemic Multicultural Counseling Certificate "This is the book I’ve been waiting for as a sex therapist and educator! Tilsen turns queer theory into an approachable friend who pulls you close right before saying something to disrupt your comfort. Her vivid storytelling of therapy dialogue brings to life the tensions and promise of queer practices. Practical applications set in motion a relational ethic that is sorely needed in how we train therapists and work with all clients." – Dr. Katie Heiden-Rootes, PhD, Associate Professor at Saint Louis University; Director of Clinical Services, Center for Counseling & Family TherapyTable of ContentsIntroduction: Preparing a Path for the Unicorn 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sexual Identities and the Media
Book SynopsisSexual Identities and the Media encourages students to examine media as a site of negotiation for how people make sense of their own and others' sexual identities. Taking a critical/cultural approach, Wendy Hilton-Morrow and Kathleen Battles weave together theory, synthesis of existing research, and original analysis of contemporary media examples in order to explore key areas of debate, including: an historical context for contemporary GLBTQ representations; the advantages and limitations of media visibility, including a discussion of the strengths and limitations of stereotype research and the quest for positive representations; the role of consumer culture in constructing GLBTQ identities; strategies of mainstream media resistance by GLBTQ community members, including oppositional/queer reading strategies and the production of media products by and for the GLBTQ community; the complTrade Review"Theoretically informed and clearly written, Sexual Identities and the Media is an important introduction to sexuality, media, and popular culture. Using a rich selection of traditional and new media examples and case studies, Hilton-Morrow and Battles take the reader through a journey to unpack the complex relationship between sexual identity, representation, power, and politics. This is a timely, informative, and significant text." —Gust A. Yep, San Francisco State University, Recipient of the NCA Randy Majors Memorial Award for Outstanding LGBTQ Scholarship in Communication "Finally, we have a compelling, clearly written, thoroughly researched introduction for undergraduates to a rich history and variety of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer media and scholarship. Hilton-Morrow and Battles outline crucial terms and explore key debates in the field of GLBTQ media, including the value of visibility, the prevalence of stereotypes, the dimensions of the closet, and the ongoing marginalization of transgendered people. They rigorously engage intersecting social hierarchies such as class, race, and gender to complicate simplistic narratives of progress in gay images. The authors avoid the pitfalls of a medium-by-medium treatment of GLBTQ representations to address the continuities of these representations across various genres and platforms. The authors also offer a series of useful exercises aimed to denaturalize assumptions about sexuality and gender binaries. Sexual Identities and the Media is essential course reading for students and teachers of GLBTQ media." —Katherine Sender , University of Auckland "This book provides just the kind of introduction to the topic we have long needed. It gives the reader the historical context and conceptual tools needed to critically engage with the complex issues that arise when the politics of sexual identity intersect with media representations. And it does so in a thoroughly accessible manner and through an impressive range of examples." —Ron Becker, Miami University, author of Gay TV and Straight America "Resisting a clean or tidy narrative of LGBTQ visibility and progress, Sexual Identities and the Media weaves a rich and complicated intervention into how sexualities are named, historicized, produced, commodified, contained, and resisted on the mainstream cultural screen. The book anticipates and fosters a broad range of engagement points for students. Both contemporary and durable, the text balances current examples with a complex web of theoretical tools from humor studies, media studies, critical/cultural studies, gay and lesbian studies, and queer theory, offering a complicated examination of the mediating of sexual identities." —Dustin Goltz, DePaul University "Theoretically informed and clearly written, Sexual Identities and the Media is an important introduction to sexuality, media, and popular culture. Using a rich selection of traditional and new media examples and case studies, Hilton-Morrow and Battles take the reader through a journey to unpack the complex relationship between sexual identity, representation, power, and politics.

In fact, if you were thinking about adding a text to any course on influence of the media or on gender stereotypes you would not go wrong here either. Wendy Hilton-Morrow and Kathleen Battles have written an interesting, accessible, and informative undergraduate text for those who are curious about how various media reflect and (re)constitute representations of sexual identities. This volume is full of contemporary examples from stock media (film, television) and new media (web series, vlogging)... [The] text's modus operandi is to show how critically derived close readings of media representations are done and what they achieve. The authors excel at this... I recommend this text for psychologists teaching relevant courses, but I think it should also be read by psychologists more generally, those who teach and those who merely want to be current: It is broadly informative about what many undergraduates already know and think they know." --Marianne LaFrance, Yale University, USA, in PsycCRITIQUES Table of Contents1.
