Towards a Queer Iconology: Queer Subjectivity, Christian Imagery and Art at the End of the 19th and 20th

这项研究项目将调查自1978年以来酷儿艺术家作品中基督教意象的(重新)出现，通过与基督的激情、马里乌斯教和修道院社区等主题的Fin de siècle queer接触的镜头来考察它们。基于发现这是一种多产方法的学者的工作，如Love和Gilman，我的工作将触动这两个时刻在一起(Love：2007，Gilman：1987)。这将允许考虑这些遭遇在我们目前对性别差异的理解上的持续共鸣，并通过挑战基督教和同性恋以完全对立的、压抑的关系存在的观点来丰富同性恋主观性的学术记录，并将表明对于当代同性恋艺术家，特别是那些应对艾滋病/艾滋病毒危机的艺术家，基督教意象的结合使得在流行话语之外构建同性性欲的叙事成为可能。

This research project will investigate the (re) emergence of Christian imagery in works by queer artistssince 1978 by examining them through the lens of fin de siècle queer engagements with themes such asthe passion of Christ, Marianism and monastic communities.Building upon the work of scholars who have found this to be a productive methodology, such as Loveand Gilman, my work will touch the two moments together (Love: 2007, Gilman: 1987). This will allow fora consideration of the continued resonances of these encounters on our current understanding of sexualdifference and enrich the academic record of queer subjectivity by challenging the idea that Christianityand homosexuality exist in a solely oppositional, repressive relationship and will show that forcontemporary queer artists, particularly those responding to the AIDS/HIV crisis, an incorporation ofChristian imagery has allowed for the construction of narratives of same sex desire outside of prevalentdiscourses.
