Special Details About This Meeting/Audience:

Any attempt to study heteronormativity involves multiple challenges, both theoretically and ethnographically. Existing literature on heteronormativity most often investigates the topic with a focus primarily on queer sexualities, forgoing deep analysis of its various other workings. Heteronormativity gains its privileges and coherency through public operations and the mutuality of public and private. This workshop will, therefore, examine this coherency and privilege, exploring through ethnographically driven presentations the operations and making of heteronormative devices in their material, affective, narrative, spatial and bodily elements. In this way, one is able to see how heterosexual culture simultaneously institutionalizes its narrative and normalcies, such that it operates in a way towards preserving its own coherency.

We welcome ethnographically grounded work – including historical ethnography – that specifically examines the makings of heteronormativity in a broad range of geographical settings. We aim to convene an interdisciplinary conversation about the contributions that ethnography can make to research on heteronormativity in a diversity of fields and cultural and social contexts. The workshop will consist of a mixture of forms of intellectual exchange that allow us to interrogate concepts and practices, and generate new insights.
