”Queer Cultural Studies: heteronormativity, homonormativity and the
politics of sexuality”
Workshop with Judith Halberstam (UC San Diego)
As part of the “queer week” held by the Center for Gender Studies
in July 2004, the PhD programme “Science - Gender - Symbolic Order”
of the University of Basel organizes a workshop with Judith Halberstam on “Queer
Cultural Studies: heteronormativity, homonormativity and the politics of sexuality”.
The workshop aims to create a productive working atmosphere to allow for an
in depth discussion. Queer studies interventions are planned on the topics of
“the politics of sexuality and the meaning of democracy”, “homonormativity
and the law”, “transgender identities in medical discourse”
and “queer studies and neoliberalism”.
The workshop will take place on Saturday, July 10, 2004 at the University of
Basel. Participants are encouraged to visit Judith Halberstam's public lecture
on “Transgender feminism and the evolution of the Clown Fish” on
Friday evening, July 9, 2004. Following the lecture the participants may join
us for dinner.
Course description
At the conclusion of a recent queer graduate student conference at UCLA, a faculty
panel addressed the issue of the future of queer studies. Obviously this was
a topic of great interest to the students present, many of whom had written
or were writing queer-themed dissertations, and the students heard the faculty
provide a slate of contradictory opinions. One speaker felt that queer studies
had little to say about contemporary global military and environmental crises;
another expressed some optimism about new work in queer studies and its focus
upon race, class and globalization, and another scholar announced that queer
studies was in a slump. Of course, a similar panel of scholars asked to summarize
the state of cultural studies or postcolonial studies, ethnic studies or gender
studies would no doubt express similar hopes, fears, reservations, faith, optimism
and pessimism. But queer studies does occupy a somewhat peculiar place in the
U.S. university today, (not to mention countries like Switzerland where queer
studies as such barely exists) unlike these other areas of study, queer studies
has always had to defend against intimations of indecency, irrelevance, prurience
and frivolity.
In this workshop on “Queer Cultural Studies: heteronormativity, homonormativity
and the politics of sexuality”, we will recognize and appreciate all that
is indecent, irrelevant, prurient and frivolous about queer studies while also
making a big claim for the seriousness of its contributions to research and
theory on race, immigration, nationalism, belonging, identity and politics.
Indeed, in this time of war-mongering and militarization, of U.S. unilateralism
and corporate domination, when intellectuals now more than ever need to enter
public debates about the meaning of democracy, citizenship, freedom, family,
community, nation, the alien, and the human, queer studies has made numerous
interventions into these particular debates.
The workshop will focus on some of the following interventions queer studies
has made:
• Transgender identities and the politics of sexuality
• The politics of sexuality and the meaning of democracy
• Queer studies, gouvernementality and neoliberalism
• Transgender experiences in medical discourse.
The course will be held in English. There may be some translation from German to English vice-versa provided by participants. The input statements will be in the English language.

In spring 2002, the six major Swiss universities started an interdisciplinary graduate programme in Gender Studies within the scope of the Gender Network Switzerland. The programme comprises four modules (Basel, Berne/Fribourg, Lausanne/Geneva, Zurich) with in total 58 PhD students. The four modules have a decentralised structure and different profiles. The graduate programme in Gender Studies offers a research centered, interdisciplinary and learning process oriented teaching programme on both a local and a national level. In addition to regularly scheduled colloquia, reading seminars and block seminars within the different modules, the teaching offer also comprises national courses, such as summer schools, conferences and workshops with experts from Switzerland and abroad. The doctoral students are actively involved in the conception and organisation of these courses.
The last Summer School took place from 9 to 12 September 2003 at the University
of Basle. The agenda comprised talks and workshops held by 17 speakers from
Switzerland and abroad and inputs contributed by the PhD students. The first
day was dedicated to getting to know each other and to networking with students
and professors of the four modules. The day started with a speech held by Gabriele
Griffin (Hull, GB) on the subject of „Living with Women's/Gender Studies“.
Afterwards, the modules were invited to introduce themselves, which they did
in very different ways. In the evening, Elisabeth Bronfen (Zurich, CH) gave
a public speech on „The Power of Beauty. Mae West, Pin-ups and Chuck Palaniuk“.
The second and the third day were reserved for ten workshops which had been
planned by the PhD students in co-operation with the speakers whom they had
invited. The workshops covered a wide range of subjects and disciplines:
• Yvonne Due Billing, Copenhagen (DK): Gender and Organisation
• Karin Knorr Cetina, Konstanz (D): Gender and Knowledge
• Irit Rogoff, London (GB) Field Work in Visual Culture
• Jill Steans, Birmingham (GB) Critical Feminist Theory
• Theresa Wobbe, Erfurt (D) Gender and Governance: The Institutionali
Gender and Governance: The Institutionalisation of Social Movements
• Sibylle Brändli, Basle; Philipp Sarasin, From the Analysis of Cases
to the Analysis of
Zürich; Gregor Spuhler,
Historical Sources?
• Andrea Bührmann, Berlin (D) Power - Discourse - Gender
• Brigit Obrist van Eeuwijk, Basel (CH) Medical Anthropology 1: Methods
of Qualitatative Health Research
• Cornelia Helfferich, Freiburg (D) Medical Anthropology 2: Gender and
Health from the persepctive of Social Sciences and Cultural Studies Subjective
Concepts of Health and Body among Women (and Men)
• Karénina Kollmar-Paulenz, Berne (CH) Religion and Gender
• Nira Yuval-Davis, London (GB) Gender and Migration in Europe
The last day was reserved for gender theories. Andrea Maihofer, Basle (CH),
struck a balance in giving an update on current gender theory and raised open
issues. Katharina Pühl, Kassel (D), spoke about „Theoretical Applications
of Critical Queer Studies“. Both speeches as well as the following final
discussion pointed out the importance of a continuous reflection on new issues
in gender theory. This discussion will be resumed at this year's Summer School.
