'Brilliant Vibrating Interface: Queering the Post-Internet through Poetry and Practice (A Case Study)' - a talk delivered at Queer in A Wee Place: Small Nations, Sexuality & Scotland

Description

A joint paper given as a practice-led case study in queer post-internet culture in Scotland at a public afternoon of talks and performances titled 'Queer in A Wee Place: Small Nations, Sexuality & Scotland'.

Attending to the theme of Queer in A Wee Place this event explores Scottish difference, sameness, and exceptionalism, via queerness. We think about queer identity, inequality and belonging in, throughout and beyond Scotland: Can nation states ever include queers? If things are ‘getting better’ for queers, what of other queers, or ‘queer others’, still imagined as outside citizenship, nationhood or inclusion? How do queers fit-in with or still fracture the story of Scotland as a progressive and inclusive ‘civic democracy’? What past-present-future imaginings and realities are mobilised in, across and beyond ‘wee places’?

Speakers include Dario Banegas, Joe Derry, Mae Diansangu, Kirsty Dunlop, Kirstie Ken English, Jj Fadaka, Kevin Guyan, Harvey Humphrey, Ely Percy, Maria Sledmere, Francesca Stella - and more!
