Dear all,
Dr Belinda Deneen Wallace (University of New Mexico, USA) will be giving a talk entitled “Intimate Intersections: Narratives of Postcolonial Queer Belonging(s)” online (Zoom) on Thursday 18 November 2021 at 6 pm (UTC+1). This event is free, but registration is required (see link below).
Synopsis:
Drawing on Tara T. Green’s concept of mythical memory (2018) and answering Meghani and Saeed’s (2019) challenge to explore possible queer futures, this talk will explore the role of intimacy in Dominican American Ana Maurine Lara’s Erzulie’s Skirt (2006). More precisely, “Intimate Intersections” accepts the novel’s invitation to closely examine postcolonial Caribbean diasporic identities and the “continuity associated with place and mobility related to displacement” (Kandiyoti 2018). This lecture will queer postcolonial linkages among and between the Black transatlantic, the Caribbean, and the Americas in order to unpack what happens when queer women move across temporal and spatial borders, troubling the binary of here (home) and there (not-home), as well as notions of belonging.
