Augmenting recent developments in theories of gender and sexuality,
this anthology marks a compelling new phase in queer scholarship.
Navigating notions of silence, misunderstanding, pleasure, and even
affects of phobia in artworks and texts, the essays in this volume
propose new and surprising ways of understanding the
difficulty-even failure-of the epistemology of the closet. By
treating "queer" not as an identity but as an activity, this book
represents a divergence from previous approaches associated with
Lesbian and Gay Studies. The authors in this anthology refute the
interpretive ease of binaries such as "out" versus "closeted" and
"gay" versus "straight," and recognize a more opaque relationship
of identity to pleasure. The essays range in focus from
photography, painting, and film to poetry, Biblical texts, lesbian
humor, and even botany. Evaluating the most recent critical
theories and introducing them in close examinations of objects and
texts, this book queers the study of verse and visual culture in
new and exciting ways.
