Queer Style: Revised and Updated Edition de Adam Geczy

Queer Style: Revised and Updated Edition

Autor Adam Geczy, Vicki Karaminas
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 iun 2024
First published in 2013, Queer Style was ahead of its time. It was the first book to address the cultural, political, and material histories of clothes as signs and markers of gender and sexual identity, and remains key reading for scholars and students across fashion studies and the humanities more broadly. Now, 10 years later, the authors have revisited their classic work and updated it to examine the function of subcultural dress within queer communities and the mannerisms and messages that are used as signifiers of identity.

Recenzii

If clothes make the man (and the woman), how much more do they make the queer man or woman. This insightful book looks at the way fashion has coded same-sex desire, from eighteenth-century macaronis and gentlemen fops to modern leathermen and muscle queens, from mannish Sapphic women to lipstick lesbians. As those with homoerotic orientations constructed their sexualities and identities, the authors reveal, so they dressed themselves for the parts they played.
From Rosa Bonheur and Radclyffe Hall through Bowie and Warhol to Boy George and Leigh Bowery: just a few of the style icons present in this wide-ranging, illuminating and highly readable account of over two centuries of queer performance and posing.
This book provides a refreshingly engaging and extraordinarily superior standard ofscholarship that inquires analytically into complex LGBTQI issues and challenges &complements the works of Bultler, Foucault, Halberstam, Shapiro and others in the field.Their work will contribute to original scholarship on LGBTQI in a number of related ways.This text further gives voice to the many LGBTQI communities of actors and displays ascholarly trajectory that is not only well-grounded but combines the best traditions oftheoretical and methodological triangulation.
This book is impressive in rigor, scope and scholarship. It assembles iconic stylish and fashionable gay, lesbian, transgendered and queer characters such as: dandies and dykes, leather-boys and lipstick lesbians. While, there has been a tremendous amount of writing in queer studies, none has combined it with fashion and style to give us a fresh look at fashion studies. With panache and humor, this much-anticipated text is the first extensive analysis of both fashion scholarship and queer theory - it undoubtedly is destined to become a classic.
Much of what counts as queer theory now, and in recent years, has danced around the question of style. Is style the name for a self-fashioning that marks the emergence of self-consciously gay and lesbian populations around the beginning of the twentieth century? Or is style a recognizable form of gay, lesbian and transgender narrative, readable on bodies and texts alike? Is style a mode of being and becoming that both disrupts chronological histories of sexuality and confirms them all at once? The answer given by this fresh, new volume on the subject is yes, yes, and yes. As to whether you can wear white shoes after summer's end, blue and green together or a meat dress to the Oscars.you are on your own.
This is an extremely important book. The subject of GLBTQ fashion and style has been sadly neglected and this book marks a clear redresseing of that neglect. Queer Style is a well researched and eloquently written book that fills a massive gap in the current writing on this important area of fashion, dress and identity. The subject matter covered in this book is a much neglected area of study and Geczy and Karaminas's complementary backgrounds and areas of interest provide a much needed and long overdue articulate contribution to the area. The depth of research as well the global aspects of the book make this an invaluable text for accomplished scholars and to students from a range of academic courses. I thoroughly recommend this book.
