Abstract:
The article presents the spectralisation of lesbian desire, i.e., the discursive production of the social invisibility of lesbians, through its presentation in two podcasts: Midnight Radio (2018) by Bobbie Parker and Weaver (2021) written and performed by Newton Sweeney. The issue of spectralisation combines uncanny studies with queer theory, developing the concept of the queer subject as a phantom emerging in heteronormative culture through the social repression of queerness (the process known as homo-spectrality). In this context, the podcast format is particularly interesting as a derivativ

Chicana Lesbians: The Girls our Mothers Warned Us About (1991) by Carla Trujillo challenged conventional positions and ideology about gender and sexual roles when it was published.

Abstract Stories are the glue that hold families and communities together. Confronting past difficulties honestly can have a healing, strengthening effect on relations.

My mothers met in the Danish women’s liberation movement in 1971, and together four of them started the lesbian movement in 1974. The stakes in writing my mothers’ story were high. Their movement y

To do so, we supplement critical content analysis (CCA) methodology with a genealogical approach to more fully contextualize censoring over time. Drawing on critical, epistemic, and queer theories, we show how knowledge of queerness is disoriented, (re)produced, and (un)done over time via children's picturebooks.
