Описание: The claim that `LGBT rights are human rights` encounters fierce opposition in many parts of the world, as governments and religious leaders have used resistance to `LGBT rights` to cast themselves as defenders of traditional values against neo-colonial interference and western decadence.

Описание: Focuses on the kinds of rhetorical agency that are enabled by the linkage of queer theory to the radical practises of queer activists.The 1980s and 1990s were marked by dramatic upheavals and groundbreaking shifts in both queer activism and queer theory in the United States. Indeed, it was not until the late 1980s that the word "queer" - as a newly reclaimed signifier of proud, confrontational sexual identity - could be linked meaningfully with either activism or theory. Queer Unfixed focuses on the kinds of rhetorical agency that are enabled by the linkage of queer theory to the radical practises of queer activists.Erin Rand studies the queer community's responses to the oppressive, frightening, and violent conditions facing gay groups in the 1980s and 1990s. Many of those responses were angry and militant in nature, with the formation of groups such as the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC), AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP), Sex Panic!, Queer Nation, the Pink Panthers, the Lesbian Avengers, and many others. Activism was not intended merely to promote acceptance or tolerance, but to reclaim loudly and forcefully the rights to safety and humanity and to forge identity and strength from victimisation.But the "changing reality" facing gay communities was not limited to AIDS, homophobia, and anti-gay violence. It also included the sudden proliferation and popularity of academic work that questioned not only categories of gendered and sexual identity, but also the relationships of these categories to political action, liberalism, history, and truth. In short, as queer activists were mobilising in the streets in the 1980s and 1990s, queer theorists were producing a similar foment in the halls and publications of academia. The relationship between queer activism and theory was by no means self-evident and natural though.This study takes as its primary object the linkage of queer theory in the acaddemy with street-level queer activism, and seeks to understand and reformulate rhetorical agency through this strategic conjuncture. By examining the kinds of queer activist discourses taken up by queer theorists - as well as those they refute or ignore - Rand seeks to defie the specific kinds of opportunities and constraints that shape the contours of queer agency in activist and academic contexts, opposing the common practise of defining queerness in terms of simple resistance and instead positing queerness as an economy of ambiguity from which agency emerges.

Описание: To the uninitiated, the films of French New Wave director Jacques Demy can seem strange and even laughable, with their gaudy colour schemes and sung dialogue. Yet since the late 1990s, a generation of queer filmmakers in France have found new inspiration in Demy's cinema. In this volume, author Anne E. Duggan examines Jacques Demy's queer sensibility in connection with another understudied characteristic of his oeuvre: his recurrent use of the fairy tale. In Queer Enchantments: Gender, Sexuality, and Class in the Fairy-Tale Cinema of Jacques Demy, Duggan demonstrates that Demy uses fairy-tale devices to explore and expand the identity categories of his characters, while he broadens the possibilities of the genre of the fairy tale through his cinematic revisions. In each chapter, Duggan examines how Demy strategically unfolds, challenges, and teases out the subversive qualities of fairy-tale paradigms. In chapter 1, Duggan reads Demy's Lola and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg through the lens of ""Cinderella"" and ""Sleeping Beauty,"" while in chapter 2, she explores Demy's revision of Charles Perrault's ""Donkey Skin"" from the particular angle of gay aesthetics. In chapter 3, Duggan situates Demy's rendition of The Pied Piper in relation to a specifically Franco-American tradition of the legend, which thus far has not received critical attention. Finally, in Chapter 4, she examines the ways in which Demy's Lady Oscar represents the undoing of the figure of the maiden warrior. An epilogue reads Demy's fairy-tale cinema as exemplary of the postmodern tale. Duggan shows that Demy's cinema heightens the inherent tensions and troubles that were already present in fairy-tale texts and uses them to illustrate both the constraints and utopian possibilities of the fairy tale. Both film and fairy-tale studies scholars will enjoy Duggan's fresh look at the distinctive cinema of Jacques Demy.

Описание:

Rooted in extensive archival research and personal interviews, "A Queer Capital" is the first history of LGBT life in the nation s capital. Revealing a vibrant past that dates back more than 125 years, the book explores how lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals established spaces of their own before and after World War II, survived some of the harshest anti-gay campaigns in the U.S., and organized to demand equal treatment. Telling the stories of black and white gay communities and individuals, Genny Beemyn shows how race, gender, and class shaped the construction of gay social worlds in a racially segregated city.

From the turn of the twentieth century through the 1980s, Beemyn explores the experiences of gay people in Washington, showing how they created their own communities, fought for their rights, and, in the process, helped to change the country. Combining rich personal stories with keen historical analysis, "A Queer Capital" provides insights into LGBT life, the history of Washington, D.C., and African American life and culture in the twentieth century.
