<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">In our current post-civil
rights context, the merits and effects of the liberal incorporation of formally
marginalized queer subjects, and the ways in which these discourses travel and
are received across various international boarders, is a hotly debated subject.
One of the most well known critiques of this trend is found in Jasbir Puar’s <i>Terrorist
Assemblages:</i> <i>Homonationalism in Queer Times </i>(2007), in which she
argues that the liberal incorporation of “certain—but certainly not
most—homosexual, gay, and queer bodies” is attended by a concurrent and
“parallel process of demarcation [of racialized] population[s] targeted for
segregation, disposal, or death” —what she describes as “a reintensification of
racialization through queerness” (xii). Taking its cue from these debates, as
well as the conference theme, “Boundaries without Borders,” this curated panel
aims to investigate the ways LGBTQ subjects, currently and historically, have
experienced, understood, and negotiated borders of all kinds, and the ways
these interactions have affected or been represented in theatre and performance.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial">As well as engaging with
contemporary accounts of homonationalism or queer international movements, the
panel is also interested in papers that investigate the following topics: <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">
