A Short Description of Queer Theory

We have not investigated Queer Theory with the same amount of attention that we have given to the uncanny and other terms. Below, I’ve put a link to the Purdue University OWL website which gives a fine summary of Queer Theory. But what is really useful about this introduction is the set of questions at the bottom of the page. These questions might be a great value to you as you try to wrestle with your space/place for the presentation. If they are useful, then use them!

This may be obvious, but I will state it anyway: your space may be gothic AND uncanny AND queer—all at the same time! Your job, as a student of Gothic Literature, is to make sense of how these terms work and how a visitor to such a space might engage with it.
