Show summary
In a series of interviews with the gay press in the early 1980s, Michel Foucault suggested an important historical link between friendship and homosexuality – an idea he did not have the chance to develop before his death in 1984. How have Foucault-inspired scholars picked up this connection later on? And how have increased visibility and normalization of nonheterosexuals changed queer friendships in the forty years since his passing?
