Quare theory was created by E. Patrick Johnson in 2001. Quare theory was created to promote the voices of queer people of color.

Quare theory is similar to "queer theory"; they are both forms of "critical theory" that focus on the study and theories of queer identities and actions.[1][2] E. Patrick Johnson believed that within queer theory there was an erasure or minimization of queer people of colors voices. Johnson created Quare theory to uplift the voices that queer theory historically hadn't. With Queer theory there is "a significant theoretical gap" meaning queer theorists often silence or lessen the voices of queer people of color.[3]

History

Quare theory was created by E. Patrick Johnson who is a scholar and artist who studies gender, race, and sexuality performance. Johnson has written several books in the focus of his studies. He focuses on gender, race, and sexuality performance "modes of scholarly and artistic production".[4] He is a professor at Annenberg University for performance studies as well as a professor at Northwestern University for African American studies. Besides being a professor, Johnson is also "Dean of the School of Communication".[4] Furthermore, in the year of 2020 Johnson was "inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences".[4]

Johnson proposed quare theory to fill the gap left by queer theory. Johnson's essay on Quare studies proposes to address queer behavior and history from people of color's perspectives. The term quare was inspired from Johnson's grandmother because when she said the word queer with her accent it sounded like she said quare.

Definition

Quare theory is focused on "the racialized bodies, experiences, and knowledge of" queer people of color.[5] It's a perspective that's meant to shed light upon marginalized voices. The theory "narrows the gap between theory and practice" and highlights the performance aspect of the body.[1] Quare theory focuses on uplifting and addressing the needs of queer people "across issues of race, gender, class, and other subject positions".[6]

Quare vs queer theory

Quare theory is "both a counter theory" and "a counternarrative to queer theory".[5] Johnson discusses in his essay regarding quare theory that queer theory, whether intentionally or not, does not include queer people of color's voices. With quare studies, Johnson intended to increase the exposure of queer people of color and their issues. Quare studies explores different identities focusing on queer people from "racialized and class knowledges".[5] Quare studies fills in the gaps that queer theory left empty.
