本文基于 2019 年至 2021 年新冠疫情期间在加尔各答对酷儿和跨性别者进行的人种学实地调查。本文开发了一个新的酷儿拼凑框架,并讨论了酷儿和跨性别群体在这些非规范时代生存的各种方式。本文特别回应了个人和组织如何使用数字媒体作为见证、归属感、亲密和关怀的形式。印度的酷儿群体生活在不同形式的边缘化和不稳定、恐同、种姓暴力、失业和无家可归的环境中。这篇文章汇集了 Whatsapp 文本、破碎的 Zoom 对话、烹饪八卦以及胡格利河岸上的闲聊,作为对这些正在重塑酷儿身份的新现实的认可;因此,提供了新的方式来承认、容纳和“奇怪”什么是知识。一个特别的焦点是摆脱总体化的叙述,而是审视当代印度酷儿的紧张局势以及许多矛盾。反过来,这又引发了关于酷儿欲望、民族主义和归属感的更广泛的问题。
This article is based on ethnographic field work conducted in Kolkata during 2019–2021 with queer and trans people during the COVID pandemic. This article develops a new framework of queer patchworks and discusses the various ways through which queer and trans communities are navigating survival during these non-normative times. This paper particularly responds to how digital media is being used by individuals and organisations as a form of witness, belonging, intimacy and care. Queer people in India live within different forms of marginality and precarity, homophobia, caste violence, unemployment and homelessness. This article brings together patchworks of whatsapp texts, broken zoom conversations, cooking gossip andaddason the banks of river Hooghly as a nod to these new realities which are reshaping queer identities; thus, offering new ways to also acknowledge, accommodate and ‘queer’ what counts as knowledge. A particular focus was moving away from totalising narratives and instead examine the tensions of being queer in contemporary India alongside the many contradictions. In turn, this engenders wider questions about queer desire, nationalism and belonging.
