Résumé:
Featuring contributions from a range of significant voices in the field, this volume renews the conversation around what it means to speak of the "queer" in the context of architecture, and offers a fresh take on the methodological and epistemological challenges this poses to the discipline of architectural theory. Architecture as a discipline, a profession and an applied practice, is always subordinate to its own conceptual framework, which is one of orderliness. It refers to buildings, but also to infrastructures of thought and knowledge, to conventions and taxonomies, to structures of governance, hierarchies of power and systems of administration. How, then, can one look at queering architectural discourse when the very term "queer", celebrated for its elusive, slippery nature, resists and attacks such order? Divided into four subsections, the essays in this anthology each purse a distinct line of inquiry - methods, practices, spaces, and pedagogies - in order to help particularize the proposed queering of architecture. They demonstrate the paradoxical nature of the endeavour from a diverse range of perspectives – from the questions of mapping queer theory in architecture; to the issues of queer architectural archives, or lack thereof; to the non-Western linguistic challenges to the very term queer alongside decolonial approaches to architecture via indigeneity and landscape.

Résumé:
Log 41 both observes the state of architecture today and devotes 114 pages to a special section called Working Queer, guest-edited by architect Jaffer Kolb. From Hans Tursack’s commentary on “shape architecture” to Michael Young’s valuation of parafiction as a critique of realism; from Lisa Hsieh’s examination of modernology in Japan to Cynthia Davidson’s conversation with Martino Stierli, Log 41 considers both history and the contemporary. In Working Queer, nineteen authors take a similar look at history and the contemporary in articles ranging from homo-fascism in early 20th-century aesthetics to trans gender bathroom typologies for today, as well as methods of work, materials, and mediation that can all be considered queer, or queering, in our pluralist, mediated world.

Résumé:
What is an art of life for what feels like the end of a world? In "Raving" McKenzie Wark takes readers into the undisclosed locations of New York's thriving underground queer and trans rave scene. Techno, first and always a Black music, invites fresh sonic and temporal possibilities for this era of diminishing futures. Raving to techno is an art and technique at which queer and trans bodies might be particularly adept, but which is for anyone who lets the beat seduce them. Extending the rave's sensations, situations, fog, lasers, drugs, and pounding sound systems onto the page, Wark invokes a trans practice of raving as a timely aesthetic for dancing in the ruins of this collapsing capital.

Résumé:
"Un Fantastico Altrove" is a photography book and, at the same time, a visual diary – both intimate and political – that tells the story of a queer relationship shaped by time, distance, returns and transformations. Through a flow of images and words, the bond between Silvia Clo Di Gregorio and Samuele Galli takes shape: a story that is both biography and utopia. Their emotional archive moves between personal experience and collective imagination, mapping a geography made of closeness, care and desire. Here, queer love becomes a celebration of the possibility to inhabit the world otherwise – together, beyond normative frameworks, yet deeply rooted in everyday life as both a political gesture and euphoric feeling.

Résumé:
Loin de relire l’histoire de l’art en lui appliquant de façon anachronique le terme « queer », utilisé positivement dans les milieux militants depuis la fin des années 1980. « Pour une esthétique de l’émancipation » cherche à montrer comment l’écriture de l’Histoire de l’art a minoré l’importance des engagements politiques et affectifs des artistes et rendu inopérante la portée sociale de leurs oeuvres. En imaginant des amitiés inédites entre des artistes du passé, Isabelle Alfonsi fait émerger une lignée féministe et queer pour l’art contemporain. Des pratiques artistiques du XXe siècle sont ainsi replacées dans le contexte du militantisme de défense des droits des homosexuel•le•s et de la formation d’une critique radicale féministe et anticapitaliste.

Résumé:
Newspaper articles, speeches, and essays show Sunil Gupta’s crucial role at the center of grassroots queer and postcolonial organizing throughout an artistic career lived between Canada, the UK, and India. In his pieces about homosexuality in Indian cities, the AIDS crisis, the Black Arts Movement, or key figures including Joy Gregory and Robert Mapplethorpe, Gupta foregrounds the power of cultural activism in the politically fraught contexts of London and Delhi, and illuminates the essential connections between queer migration and self-discovery. Continually questioning given forms of identity, Gupta offers artists and curators multiple strategies of resistance, carving out space for new ways of imagining what it might mean to live, love, and create.

Résumé:
In the 1970s, Manhattan’s west side waterfront was a forgotten zone of abandoned warehouses and piers. Though many saw only blight, the derelict neighborhood was alive with queer people forging new intimacies through cruising. Alongside the piers’ sexual and social worlds, artists produced work attesting to the radical transformations taking place in New York. In 'Cruising the Dead River', Fiona Anderson draws on Wojnarowicz’s work to explore the key role the abandoned landscape played in this explosion of queer culture. Anderson examines how the riverfront’s ruined buildings assumed a powerful erotic role and gave the area a distinct identity. By telling the story of the piers as gentrification swept New York and before the AIDS crisis, Anderson unearths the buried histories of violence, regeneration, and LGBTQ activism that developed in and around the cruising scene.
