Queering the Disciplines: Boundary Crossings, Interdisciplinarity, and Lesbian-Gay Knowing
The lecture will explore some parallels and resonances between gay/lesbian and queer theory, on the one hand, and interdisciplinarity, on the other, noting the resonances in their challenging and crossing of boundaries. It explores the ways in which neither queerness nor interdisciplinarity makes the old realm (the received world) disappear. It articulates some tentative characteristics of lesbian and gay knowing and acting in the world (and the church), as illumined by interdisciplinary theory.
