Anne M. Harris is associate professor and principal research
fellow at RMIT University, Australian Research Council future
fellow, honorary research fellow at University of Nottingham, and
adjunct professor at Monash University.

Performance at Monash University.
The Queer Life of Things is provocative, joyful work. Harris and
Holman Jones have given us a unique text, putting theory - affect
theory, the new materialisms, queer theory, and more - to work
through and between stories and performance texts that both delight
and challenge. This is a rare book: it makes us laugh, it calls us
to write, and it demands we act. Wonderful.
*Jonathan Wyatt, University of Edinburgh*
It takes a while before a new community that initially needs to
assert itself can afford to turn to itself for critical analysis,
and this book does exactly that in a tender, open, and timely way.
This is innovative scholarship that is the first in its kind to
`cross-pollinate’ the New Materialisms with Queer Theory, Affect
Theory and Performance Theory. This book explains, educates and
disorients in ways that are equally as productive as they are
delicious! Anyone say chicken?
*Fiona Murray, The University of Edinburgh*
