The Politics and Poetics of Camp is a radical reappraisal of the
meaning and discourse of camp. The contributors look at both the
meaning and the uses of camp performance, and ask: is camp a style,
or a witty but nonetheless powerful cultural critique? The essays
investigate camp from its early formations in the seventeenth and
eighteenth century to its present manifestations in queer theatre
and literature. They also take a fascinating look at the complex
relationship between queer discourse and decidedly un-queer pop
culture appropriations on film and on the stage. The Politics and
Poetics of Camp is an incisive, uncontainable and entertaining
collection of essays by some of the foremost critics working in
queer theory, from a number of disciplinary perspectives. This book
makes a well-timed intervention into an emerging debate.
