| dc.description.abstract | This project seeks to understand the various ways Aimee Bender uses different types of textual, narratorial, and sensorial disorientations to make queer gestures legible in her short stories. To do this, I place Bender in conversation with key theorists of queer theory including José Estaban Muñoz, Lee Edelman, Eve Kosofsky Sedgewick, Lauren Berlant, and Judith Butler. I argue that reading Bender queerly can offer a new method for interpreting the stakes of queer futures and queer life | |
