But certain forms of shame were also embraced by 19th-century activists in an attempt to reverse entrenched power dynamics. \u003cbr\u003eBogdan Popa brings together Ranci?re's techniques of disrupting inequality with a queer curiosity in the performativity of shame to show how 19th-century activists denaturalised conventional beliefs about sexuality and gender. This study fills a glaring absence in political theory by undertaking a genealogy of radical queer interventions that predate the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBogdan Popa\u003c\/strong\u003e is Visiting Assistant Professor of Politics at Oberlin College.
