Davy Knittle
This article reads the transformation of urban space in US cities during and since the urban renewal of the 1950s and 1960s in dialogue with queer and disability theories of access to the social and the built environment. Knittle focuses on obsolescence as an urban planning strategy used to justify the removal of buildings and people from the present, as he explores how queer and disability studies have negotiated and advocated for access to the present and the future while refusing assimilation to normative social forms. He reads across body and city scales to consider access as dynamic and to map how the ableist expectations projected onto disabled bodies in what Alison Kafer describes as a “curative imaginary” appear on the city scale as an “urban curative imaginary.” To explore resistances to obsolescence that refuse assimilation while demanding access, Knittle reads the “window poems” of queer New York School poet James Schuyler. In these poems, Schuyler documents small and large forms of urban transformation from his Manhattan apartment during the 1950s and 1960s. Schuyler’s poems, Knittle argues, model strategies for how to identify the obsolescence of normative space rather than the obsolescence of queer and disabled bodies. He uses the poems’ focus on the queer potential of how urban spaces change to argue for a queer disability urbanism that takes the dynamism of access as a precondition for negotiating equitable forms of social participation and public life.

This article explores how Jill Soloway uses mirror imagery in the series Transparent to facilitate their version of the female gaze, particularly the tenet of feeling-seeing. By doing so, this article aims to assist ongoing efforts in both transgender studies and media studies research to stretch beyond the in/visibility debate surrounding transgender representation in popular media. It proposes that Soloway’s creative process designates open, imaginative space for audiences (both cisgender and transgender alike) to witness how gender comes to matter for Maura, both in the sense of materializing in bodily form and in a manner of meaning, and how gender also comes to re-matter for her, but perhaps also for audiences watching her transformation.

Abstract:This essay argues that political theology does not interrogate the contexts of emergence for the joining of the political to the theological; it takes these concepts to have meaning without accounting for how these categories are created by racialized, gendered, sexed exclusion. What is it to be susceptible, and can such a thing be the antidote to political theology? Why would political theology need an antidote? Arguing that susceptibility is lined out in the sounds of the Hammond organ emanating from Blackpentecostal musicianship, perhaps attending to the sound and song emerging from such a space might give us a cue and clue regarding a way of life that does not take racialization and its exclusions as the grounds for thought.

Abstract:Hijras, India's "third gender" now often translated as trans figures, have long been defined by their castrated status in colonial and postcolonial discourse, which has aimed at conflating their social and moral positions with their corporeal modification. This article juxtaposes various sets of narrative accounts to explain the theological underpinnings of liberal explanations for accommodating queer sexuality in India. First, the article looks at contemporary Bollywood films in which hijras are often inserted into the plot to bring the villains to justice, sometimes by castrating them. This seeming contradiction, in which queer personhood is made life-affirming, reveals the complex ways in which hijras have been redefined as legitimizing forms of historical queerness in South Asia. Their role, it is argued, is better understood not through an ontological notion of generosity but through the particular dramaturgical position of the sutradhar that the Hindu-Muslim theology of South Asia makes available. The sutradhar is the one who holds (dhar) the strings (sutra) of the dramatic plot. The voicing and enacting of the moral position with which queer ethics have been associated, both in film and in life, are drawn from this character. Given that the long documented history of hijras has made them quite intelligible to South Asian people without the need for translation, this article argues that debates of queer sexuality must go beyond the civilizational terms of "West and the rest" and explore the theological material available for the crafting of queer personhood and ethics.

New books by Roderick A. Ferguson, David K. Johnson, and Guy Davidson prompt readers to reassess Stonewall as both a significant event and a pivotal concept for queer scholarship. Ferguson aims to fit queer liberation into the vocabulary of intersectional politics by emphasizing Stonewall’s radical origins. Johnson reads Stonewall’s bourgeois preconditions in the contributions the physique entrepreneurs made to gay community networks by publishing magazines featuring nearly naked men and running adjacent ads for businesses, including photography studios, mailorder catalogues, book clubs, and penpal services aimed at gay consumers. Despite their different politics, for both Ferguson and Johnson, Stonewall remains a historical turning point, an event that organizes beforeandafter narratives and infuses them with rhetorical, affective, and political energies. To rediscover aspects of Stonewall or unearth new details about it, both Ferguson and Johnson assume its historicity. It remains a reference point for mea-
