Though many saw only blight, the derelict neighborhood was alive with queer people forging new intimacies through cruising. Alongside the piers' sexual and social worlds, artists produced work attesting to the radical transformations taking place in New York. Artist and writer David Wojnarowicz was right in the heart of it, documenting his experiences in journal entries, poems, photographs, films, and large-scale, site-specific projects. In Cruising the Dead River, Fiona Anderson draws on Wojnarowicz's work to explore the key role the abandoned landscape played in this explosion of queer culture. Anderson examines how the riverfront's ruined buildings assumed a powerful erotic role and gave the area a distinct identity. By telling the story of the piers as gentrification swept New York and before the AIDS crisis, Anderson unearths the buried histories of violence, regeneration, and LGBTQ activism that developed in and around the cruising scene. 600 10 $a Wojnarowicz, David $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Wojnarowicz, David. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00230835 650 0 $a Cruising (Sexual behavior) $z New York. $z New York. 650 0 $a Sexual minority community $z New York. $z New York. 650 0 $a Waterfronts $x Social aspects $z New York. $z New York. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x In art. 650 0 $a Ruins in art. 650 0 $a Waterfronts in art. 650 7 $a Cruising (Sexual behavior) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744984 650 7 $a Ruins in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01101205 650 7 $a Sexual minority community. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01910176 650 7 $a Waterfronts in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01172678 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 700 1 $a Wojnarowicz, David, $e artist. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780226603896 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317032403.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF8EDCF42DF611EAB868BF0597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
