Dr. Jonas Kellermann

This talk examines "throuple plots" in contemporary LGBTQ literature and popular culture, which narrate relationships among three people working together to coordinate sex, desire, and intimacy. Throuple plots challenge foundational cis- and heteronormative narrative structures, such as the love triangle and cheating plot, and innovate relational forms for non-monogamous bonds across differences in race, gender, and class. Through these texts, I trace how kinship is becoming increasingly queer as the white, middle-class, and heterosexual nuclear family recedes as a cultural ideal.
