Transnational Queer Underground (Blog, Network)

Grassroots Media in Europe

Location

Berlin
Germany
52° 31' 9.0156" N, 13° 24' 21.9276" E

Statement:

The “transnational queer underground” emerged as a reference to the “international pop underground”, a convention initiated by Calvin Johnston (K Records/Portland/USA) in 1991 to take a stand against the sell-out of the music industry and also laid the foundation for the riot grrrl movement. In 2009 I was doing a lot of research on issues related to queer music for an article I was writing at that time and thought that the information I collected might be useful to some other people as well.

The Politics of Location Revisited: Gender@2012 - 8th European Feminist Research Conference (Budapest, May 17 - 20, 2012)

Teaser Image: 

Women and men in Europe in the first decades of the 21st century are confronted with acute social, political, cultural, economic and environmental concerns, including increasingly racist politics and nationalist discourses across Europe, huge cutbacks in social services and education, strengthening conservative gender discourses, and an overall climate unfavorable if not hostile to feminist, queer, and other progressive movements. In striving to address these concerns on regional, national and international levels, feminist scholars are re-assessing their theoretical and political toolbox.

Susan Richmond, Georgia State University. Email: jillian [dot] hernandezatgmail [dot] com and srichmondatgsu [dot] edu

A number of contemporary art historians have posited provocative analyses of the sexual and gendered dimensions of modern and contemporary sculptural production. Notably, their scholarship acknowledges a pressing need to formulate new interpretive frameworks for contemporary sculpture.
