Queer Natures, Queer Mythologies

by Sam See, Scott Herring (Contributor), Heather Love (Contributor)

Queer Natures, Queer Mythologies collects in two parts the scholarly work--both published and unpublished--that Sam See had completed as of his death in 2013.



In Part I, in a thorough reading of Darwin, See argues that nature is constantly and aimlessly variable, and that nature itself might be considered queer. In Part II, See proposes that, understood as queer in this way, nature might be made the foundational myth for the building of queer communities.

With essays by Scott Herring, Heather Love, and Wendy Moffat.

Christopher Looby and Michael North have brought together the unpublished and unfinished writings of the late Sam See in this impressive monograph—giving us a radical and vast perspective on See's contributions towards classicism, modernity, myth, & the queer contemporary moment. See's work recuperates modernism and queer theory in connection to theories of nature and the "natural" in the work of Charles Darwin to Virginia Woolf to T.S. Eliot to Derrida~~

This monograph also features essays by Scott Herring, Heather K. Love, & Wendy Moffat on See's work and life.
