Abstract

The term queer is much contested and forms certain ripples around it when thrown in any sphere of any society. The book ‘Queer in Europe’ thus, tries to explain with what connotation did the term settle in the periphery of Europe. ‘Queer in Europe’ clears a lot of misconceptions that one has about the concept of queer. It is not a set of instructions or directions; rather it’s an in-depth analysis about the concept of Queer in Europe. The book deals with the progress of sexuality and culture in Europe. The main purpose of its text is to highlight and observe the divisions between one clear line of consistent antiquity, regulation, lived experience and the cultural change of European queer culture.
