This is the second issue of two GLQ special issues "On the Visceral." Focusing on the tensions between viscerality and abstraction, and tracing the connections between gut feeling, alimentary affects, and political sentiment, the essays in this issue by Sianne Ngai, Bethany Schneider, Ewa Macura-Nnamdi, and Ramzi Fawaz treat the gut as a center of queer feeling.
