Queer Art: A Freak Theory: Queer Studies

Autor Renate Lorenz PhD
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mar 2012
A queer theory of visual art - based on extensive readings of art works Queer Art traces the question of how strategies of denormalization initiated by visual arts can be continued through writing. In the book's three chapters art theoretical debates are combined with queer theory, post-colonial theory, and (dis-)ability studies, proposing the three terms radical drag, transtemporal drag, and abstract drag. The works discussed include those by Zoe Leonard, Shinique Smith, Jack Smith, Wu Ingrid Tsang, Ron Vawter, Bob Flanagan, Henrik Olesen, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Sharon Hayes, and Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz.

Recenzii

"An exciting read for those invested in queer theory and gender studies as well as for those with an interest in the fine arts and performance art." Gloria Hckner, fiber [German magazine for feminist and pop-cultural issues, appears twice a year], 21 (2012) "A very complex book that manages to be comprehensive - and infectious at the same time." Persson Perry Baumgartinger, Stimme [quarterly magazine published by the Austrian 'Initiative Minderheiten' ('Initiative Minorities')], 85 (2012) "Renate Lorenz focuses on a description of the appearance of the 'freak' as a cultural practice that not only offers alternatives to conventional relations of social power through interventions and images but also constitutes more than a simple critique or subversion of social norms. What is special about her work is that her theory links poststructuralist approaches with typical elements of the freak show [...] and thereby generates innovative intersections that go beyond what has been so far characteristic of the queer. Lorenz thus adds new aspects to the academic field." Silke Frschler, sehepunkte [German monthly Open Access review journal for historiography and art studies], 13 (2013)
