“David Trullo’S Queer Revisionist Photography: Negotiating Spain’S Homonationalism And The Marketing Of Lgtbqi Human Rights As Commodities In Latin America.”, Gema Pérez-Sánchez

Gema Pérez-Sánchez

Working with the theoretical notions of “homonationalism” (Puar 2013) and
“pinkwashing” (Schulman 2011, 2012, Spade 2013) and using as a case study
two photographic series by contemporary Spanish gay photographer David
Trullo, I illuminate the complex situation in which contemporary queer Spanish
visual artists must produce their work: they resist homonationalism and homonormativity
at the same time that they must work within the very frames of
homonationalism and homonormativity to fund, produce, and disseminate their
particularly subversive queer politics. In analyzing Trullo’s series, Alterhistory:
Una historia verdadera (2010) — a gay and lesbian, homonormative rewriting
of late nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century …

Queering Kinship In ‘The Maiden Who Seeks Her Brothers', Jeana Jorgensen Aug 2015

Queering Kinship In ‘The Maiden Who Seeks Her Brothers', Jeana Jorgensen

Jeana Jorgensen

The fairy tales in the Kinder- und Hausmiirchen, or Children's and Household Tales, compiled by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are among the world's most popular, yet they have also provoked discussion and debate regarding their authenticity, violent imagery, and restrictive gender roles. In this chapter I interpret the three versions published by the Grimm brothers of ATU 451, "The Maiden Who Seeks Her Brothers," focusing on constructions of family, femininity, and identity.

The Man In The Text: Desire, Masculinity, And The Development Of Poe's Detective Fiction, Peter J. Goodwin Dec 2010

The Man In The Text: Desire, Masculinity, And The Development Of Poe's Detective Fiction, Peter J. Goodwin

Peter J Goodwin

This article finds the kernel of Poe's detective fiction in his investigations into the construction of "gentlemanliness" that he began at Burton's Gentleman's Magazine. As precursors to Poe's tales of ratiocination, "The Man That Was Used Up" and "The Man of the Crowd" train the reader not to expect a satisfying conclusion to the mystery surrounding masculinity that the author has woven. In "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," the homoerotic desire to apprehend an integral masculine subject ends in frustration bordering on the absurd. In thus undermining the American ideal of masculinity as unified, integral, impenetrable, and fraternal, Poe …
