Dr. Sabir Ahmed is an educator and scholar with a
Ph.D. in English from Cooch Behar Panchanan Barma University (India). He is
currently working as an Assistant Teacher
of English at Per-Raghunathpur Kamal High School (HS), in Murshidabad.
His doctoral thesis, “Queering Monsters: Sites of Monstrosity in Select Gothic
Fictions and Horror Movies,” interrogates the entanglement of queerness and
monstrosity through the dual lenses of Judith Butler’s performative theory and
Deleuzo-Guattarian philosophy. Following Butler’s framework of gender as a
socially constructed performance, Dr. Ahmed unpacks how monstrosity
destabilizes normative identities, and at the same time engages with Deleuze
and Guattari’s concept of “becoming” illuminating the fluid, anti-identitarian
potential of monstrous subjectivity. His work bridges cultural recognition (via
Butlerian solidarity and visibility politics) with molecular, imperceptible
modes of resistance—offering critique showcasing how marginalized bodies
negotiate power within and beyond dominant structures.
