Abstract

Abstract By bringing queer ecologies to bear on the blue humanities, this essay promotes a queer hydropoetic investigation that attends to the forms, aesthetics, and politics of pools. Pools are sites of aquatic enjoyment, sport, and revelation that have long been understudied within the blue humanities. We ask whether the promises and failures of swimming in these geographies can provide a queer heuristic in which submersion, immersion, and staying afloat subtend coming out, queer eroticism, and queer of color coalitional politics. Our tripartite examination engages the independent film Saved! (2004), the ecosexual documentary Water Makes Us Wet (2019), and the young adult novel and graphic novel adaptation of Gabby Rivera’s Juliet Takes a Breath (2016/2019 and 2020, respectively). Our analysis of pools, as intimate bodies of water that capture media and literature alike, reorients the blue humanities to consider closer proximities and smaller scales of water’s queer potentiality.

继续游泳?

通过将酷儿生态学引入蓝色人文学科，本文推动了一种关注池塘形式、美学和政治的酷儿水诗研究。水池是水中享受、运动和启示的场所，在蓝色人文学科中长期未被充分研究。我们想知道，在这些地区游泳的承诺和失败是否可以提供一种酷儿启发，在这种启发中，淹没、沉浸和保持漂浮，意味着浮出水面，酷儿色情，以及有色人种的酷儿联盟政治。我们的三方考试聘请独立电影《拯救!》(2004年)，生态纪录片《水让我们湿了》(2019年)，以及根据加比·里维拉的《朱丽叶呼吸》改编的青少年小说和漫画小说(分别为2016/2019和2020年)。我们对水池的分析，作为捕捉媒体和文学的亲密水体，重新定位了蓝色人文学科，以考虑更近距离和更小尺度的水的奇怪潜力。

期刊介绍： Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities was established in September 1993 to provide an international forum for vanguard work in the theoretical humanities. In itself a contentious category, "theoretical humanities" represents the productive nexus of work in the disciplinary fields of literary criticism and theory, philosophy, and cultural studies. The journal is dedicated to the refreshing of intellectual coordinates, and to the challenging and vivifying process of re-thinking. Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities encourages a critical engagement with theory in terms of disciplinary development and intellectual and political usefulness, the inquiry into and articulation of culture.
