anarchismus queeren führt nicht nur in queere und anarchistische Theorien ein, sondern zeigt darüber hinaus, wie beide Strömungen ihre jeweiligen Theorien zusammendenken können und somit für einander fruchtbar werden.

Die Bandbreite der Beiträge reicht von theoretischen Diskussionen bis hin zu persönlichen Geschichten. Inhaltlich drehen sie sich um Ökonomie, Behinderung, Politik, soziale Strukturen, sexuelle Praktiken und zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen. Die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, die im Konzept des Queerens liegen, werden ebenso beleuchtet, wie dominante, weitestgehend heteronormative Deutungsweisen und Identitäten auf den Kopf gestellt werden.

Was bedeutet es, die Welt um uns herum zu queeren? anarchismus queeren macht deutlich, dass sich das Konzept des Queerens nicht darin erschöpft, persönliche Vorlieben in Identitätspolitiken auszubuchstabieren. Vielmehr legen die Autor*innen dar, wie die Zusammenführung anarchistischer und queerer Ansätze eine völlig neue Sicht auf die Welt ermöglicht.

There really needs to be a lot more queer texts, especially within anarchism. There were so many pieces that I didn't fully agree with (and that's fine), but it was worrying how often these pieces tended to err towards... other hegemonic values. Sometimes, I don't think they noticed they were doing it.

Some of the essays quoted... massively problematic people in trying to make their point, and I'm not keen on that. Revisiting it, I found an essay that openly cites an individual who has worked with organisations that support pederasts, and I just... don't get why? Like, it doesn't build their point, it doesn't add to it, and it does just... open up a lot of issues for queer folks. Why should we launder people who engage in harm against children into our spaces?

Sadly, more people need to really check through their sources and recognise who they are …
