Und das Thema war super einfach: Definitionen von postkolonialen Theorie und von postkolonialen historischen Analyse 😅

Aber um ehrlich gesagt... Ich sage Studierenden immer, dass, wenn ich grammatikalische Fehler machen darf, dies bedeutet auch, dass der Raum auch Platz für Fehler bietet.

[Und ja, natürlich habe ich auch schon mehrmals 90-minütige Vorträge auf Deutsch gehalten, aber ich finde, dass die Verantwortung, zentrale Aspekte der Geschichte zu lehren, deutlich wichtiger ist als ein Vortrag in irgendeinem Kolloquium]

Vulnerable Moment: Ich bin unglaublich stolz auf mich, dass ich heute meine erste 90-minütige Vorlesung auf Deutsch vor einem vollen Hörsaal gehalten habe
Ich habe bereits Seminare & Übungen auf Deutsch, Englisch (und ofc Französisch) gegeben, aber noch nie zuvor eine ganze Vorlesung auf Deutsch 😀

And here we go. I never wrote this article, and yet it is cited here.

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.

It’s forthcoming! with a contribution by me about queer archives and ghosts that is a little gay, even by my standards

This enlargement of the scope of research and this platforming of other experiences echoes the fluidity of queer historical methodologies and attempts to reposition marginalized historical realities at the heart of queer history.

Here we would like to extend our gratitude to and highlight the authors behind this constructive criticism: @queerstorian.bsky.social , @philippgufler.bsky.social Karolina Kühn, Javier Samper Vendrell, and Lorenz Weinberg.

This reflection on the sources at the centre of this volume grew organically from critiques voiced at the end of a two-day workshop on queer magazines in the German-speaking world that we ( @christopherewing.bsky.social and I) co-organized in Spring 2021.

It explicitly interrogates the exclusions that certain media forms can engender as well as the possibilities that magazines, novels, poetry, and erotica, among others, offered queer and trans* individuals through the 20th and 21st centuries.

Sébastien Tremblay @sebboo.bsky.social · 2d

It is an international and interdisciplinary reflection on both queer methodologies and sources, offering clear case studies and primary source analysis. Yet it is also a roundtable to deconstruct traditional analysis.

Sébastien Tremblay @sebboo.bsky.social · 2d

It is both about excavating moments of queer print culture and reflecting on the historicization of queer moments through the reading of queer media.

Sébastien Tremblay @sebboo.bsky.social · 2d

The main goal of this volume is to reflect queer methodologies and show their potential. Yet by focusing on one set of sources from multiple perspectives, we also reach beyond the writing of queer history, discussing the materiality of journalistic spaces for the creation of queer collectives

Sébastien Tremblay @sebboo.bsky.social · 2d

This volume takes an integrative approach to queer and trans* identities, offering contributions on same-sex-desiring men, same-sex-desiring women, trans* and gender non-conforming German-speaking individuals living during the 20th and 21st centuries.

Sébastien Tremblay @sebboo.bsky.social · 2d

Rather than taking ‘print media’ as a category with rigid boundaries, we use it instead as a means to invite a thinking through its fluidity in order to challenge existing narratives and chart new genealogies.

I can’t tell you the number of German news media people who’ve asked me this question this year (“why isn’t there more resistance”) … not even 18 months after spewing psychotic fantasies about the violence that they felt ought to be visited on peaceful protesters

Jake Grumbach @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · 3d

Pretty incredible own goal by liberal institutions and many Democratic electeds to crush the exact type of protests in 2024 that would’ve been the most effective way to slow or stop ICE incursions into American cities in 2025

As a historian who grew up in Germany, I studied a lot on the collapse of the Weimar Republic and German fascism, especially the early 1930s. The intellectual question of “how could people do this/let this happen” were answered then. Now, people are answering the emotional aspect of that question.

I think @historleans.bsky.social is very right in her analysis: we have studied fascism. We KNOW how it worked. What we learn is the emotional dimension of it, how it actually FEELS.
