520 |a This article argues that elaborating a queer method for religious and biblical studies requires understanding religious and biblical discourse as archives of how gender and sexuality are publicly negotiated. In taking this approach, the article argues against attempts to propose critical biblical studies as an effort focused on "queering the Bible" in order to recuperate better, more inclusive readings of biblical traditions. Instead, it proposes that we develop strategies to render legible the way in which these recuperations remain embedded in larger discursive contexts that retain and intensify gendered and eroticized norms. The article proceeds in three steps: First, it suggests that biblical discourse be understood as a public and as an archive of bodies and desires instead of as a set of texts. Second, it turns to Shakespeare's play Hamlet to demonstrate how to read for biblical tropes in a generalized social archive of gendered and sexual sensibilities. Third, the article concludes by reflecting briefly on queer epistemology and queer style as a form of unknowing what is taken for granted and not writing about queer bodies, but writing as queer bodies in solidarity.
