Résumé
This essay argues that Lawrence Scott’s 1998 novel Aelred’s Sin intersects the studies of queer and diaspora, as it enables a reconsideration of queer cultural texts within the framework of diaspora studies. Adding tactics to the existing research within the field of queer diaspora, the essay argues that Scott’s text destabilises spatial boundaries and allows mobility and local historicity to intervene in the wider debates on queer and diaspora studies. By emphasising writing as a means of homosexual recognition, the essay argues that Scott’s Caribbean queer narrative is a place where, through writing, a tactical homosexual identification can be articulated.
