Out in Culture: Gay, Lesbian and Queer Essays on Popular Culture

Series Q

by Corey K. Creekmur (Editor), Alexander Doty (Editor), Lucretia Knapp (Contributor)

Out in Culture charts some of the ways in which lesbians, gays, and queers have understood and negotiated the pleasures and affirmations, as well as the disappointments, of mass culture. The essays collected here, combining critical and theoretical works from a cross-section of academics, journalists, and artists, demonstrate a rich variety of gay and lesbian approaches to film, television, popular music, and fashion. This wide-ranging anthology is the first to juxtapose pioneering work in gay and lesbian media criticism with recent essays in contemporary queer cultural studies.
