This class will examine the history of state formation, the emergence of new sexual and anti-sex discourses in the public sphere, and the mobilization of queer political communities in the post-1968 United States. In addition to examining the nature of state regulation aimed more generally at defining realms of citizenship and controlling unruly bodies, we will emphasize the emergence of particularly urgent spheres for queer political organizing after Stonewall; among there are the production of knowledge, litigation, electoral participation and rights-based organizing. We will also examine intersections between queer politics and other civil rights movements; and to realms of cultural activity which produce, reproduce, or transform political discourses about sex and sexuality
