An Introduction to Queer Literature Studies: Reading Queerly is the first introduction to queer theory written especially for students of literature. Tracking the emergence of queer theory out of gay and lesbian studies, this book pays unique attention to how queer scholars have read some of the most well-known works in the English language. Organized thematically, this book explores queer theoretical treatments of sexual identity, gender and sexual norms and normativity, negativity and utopianism, economics and neoliberalism, and AIDS activism and disability. Each chapter expounds upon foundational works in queer theory by scholars including Michel Foucault, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and Lee Edelman. Each chapter also offers readings of primary texts -ranging from the highly canonical, like John Milton's Paradise Lost, to more contemporary works of popular fiction, like Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot. Along the way, An Introduction to Queer Literature Studies: Reading Queerly demonstrates how queer reading methods work alongside other methods like feminism, historicism, deconstruction, and psychoanalysis. By modelling queer readings, this book invites literature students to develop queer readings of their own. It also suggests that reading queerly is not simply a matter of reading work written by queer people. Queer reading attunes us to the queerness of even the most straightforward text. | Author: Will Stockton | Publisher: Routledge | Publication Date: Nov 01, 2022 | Number of Pages: 214 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover | ISBN-10: 0367678101 | ISBN-13: 9780367678104

About the Book The first scholarly collection devoted to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show, " dissecting the film from diverse perspectives including gender and queer studies, disability studies, cultural studies, genre studies, and film studies. Book Synopsis The first scholarly collection devoted to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, dissecting the film from diverse perspectives including gender and queer studies, disability studies, cultural studies, genre studies, and film studies. Review Quotes "Reading Rocky Horror is as lively and imaginative as the legendary cult show and movie itself. The diversity of expertise collected by Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock demonstrates just how widespread The Rocky Horror Show phenomenon has become, and how big its impact has been. The focus on Rocky Horror's mixing of genres, its wildly active audience reactions, and its sexual politics puts this collection at the centre of studying popular culture today. Reading Rocky Horror will please scholars and veterans of the cult alike, and is highly recommended to anyone interested in contemporary culture." - Ernest Mathijs, University of British Columbia, Canada "Enlightened, witty, and perfectly attuned to all the requisite layerings and madnesses of its subject, this 'strange journey' is a must-read for any loyal fan of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, or for anyone fascinated by cult film, the self-referentiality of our media culture, and screen innovations in comedy. Weinstock is an adept and cagey master of ceremonies, who brings this show into the light of analysis, with the help of his many eager collaborators, in countless valuable ways." - Murray Pomerance, author of The Horse Who Drank the Sky: Film Experience Beyond Narrative and Theory About the Author Sarah Artt, Napier University, UK Kevin John Bozelka, DePaul University, USA Michael M.

This book explores the historical interrelationships between mathematics, medicine and media, and offers a unique perspective on how video compression has shaped our relationship with moving images and the world. It situates compression in a network of technological, visual and epistemic practices spanning from late 18th-century computational methods to the standardization of electrical infrastructure and the development of neurology throughout the 1900s. Bringing into conversation media archaeology, science and technology studies, disability studies and queer theory, each chapter offers an in-depth look at a different trace of compression, such as interlacing, macroblocking or flicker. This is a story of forgotten technologies, unusual media practices, strange images on the margins of visual culture and inventive ways of looking at the world. Readers will find illuminating discussions of the formation of complex scientific and medical systems, and of the violent and pleasurable interactions between our bodies and media infrastructure. | Author: Marek Jancovic | Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan | Publication Date: Jul 30, 2023 | Number of Pages: 284 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover | ISBN-10: 3031332148 | ISBN-13: 9783031332142

Crip Pride Enamel Pin is inspired by Chromium, the chemical element with the symbol Cr and atomic number 24. The Pride Flag colors are stripes of green, yellow, white, red, and blue against a black background. Disclaimer: Crip is a slur reclaimed by people with disabilities on purpose as an act of empowerment and pride. As a mobility aid user, disabled and chronically ill, I have wanted to include Crip Representation to the Queer Chemistry Project for a really long time. Disability and Queer Studies have shared historic spaces and grassroots together. Today, there are many of us who live with multiple identities. The Crip Pride / Chromium is not per se queer (as polyamorous or kinky, already included in the series) but exists in the project to include and give visibility to crip queer who needs it.

This book looks closely at some of the most significant films within the field of queer Sinophone cinema. Examining queerness in films produced in the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the book merges the Sinophone with the queer, theorising both concepts as local and global, homebound as well as diasporic. Queerness in this book not only problematises the positioning of non-normative desires within the Sinophone; it also challenges Eurocentric critical perspectives on filmic representation that are tied to the idea of the binary between East/West. New Queer Sinophone Cinema will appeal to scholars in Chinese and film studies, as well as to anyone who is interested in queer Chinese cinema. | Author: Zoran Lee Pecic | Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan | Publication Date: May 30, 2018 | Number of Pages: 166 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 134995666X | ISBN-13: 9781349956661
