Navigating notions of silence, misunderstanding, pleasure, and even affects of phobia in artworks and texts, the authors in this volume propose new and surprising ways of understanding the difficulty - even failure - of the epistemology of the closet. Moreover, treating 'queer' not as an identity but as an activity, this book represents a divergence from previous approaches associated with Lesbian and Gay Studies. Responding to the expansion in scholarship in experiences and understandings of sexual identities and their relationship to art, the authors in this anthology refute the interpretive ease of binaries such as 'out' versus 'closeted' and 'gay' versus 'straight', and apply a more opaque relationship of identity to pleasure. Accepting difficulty and opacity as forms of queer pleasure, this book explores the potential of queer theory in modern and contemporary art and visual culture. The essays range in focus from photography, painting and film to poetry, Biblical text, lesbian humor, and even botany. Evaluating the most recent critical theories and introducing them in close examinations of objects and texts, this is the first book to take up the study of queer visual culture. 650 0 $a Homosexuality and art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85061787 650 7 $a Homosexuality and art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959813 700 1 $a Kim, Jongwoo Jeremy, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2011073318 700 1 $a Reed, Christopher, $d 1961- $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n95098295 776 08 $i Online version: $t Queer difficulty in art and poetry. $d Basingstoke : Taylor & Francis Ltd 2017 $z 9781315469805 $w (OCoLC)970042371 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211015927.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A98706E0FDB011E7BCC604F996128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
