London: Pluto Press, 1999 Showing wear. Study of lesbian autobiographies. Does our sense of what is said, or not said, to be "factual" shape our sense of sexuality and self? How far have representations of lesbianism moved from the pathology and deviancy of the 1920s and 1930s to the lesbian chic of the 1990s? And how far is the notion of a specific lesbian identity problematised by the contradictions of identity politics and the heterosexism of critical language? This study addresses these questions of lesbian representation. It considers the subject within the broader context of gender, sexuality and the construction of identity in a postmodern culture, comparing the coded, the indirect, the oblique and the hidden of the 1920s with the "out" of the queer 1990s. Building on the numerous studies of lesbianism in fiction and popular culture, the book explores the construction of lesbian identities in popular and critical biographies, autobiographies and diaries, as well as newspaper stories, obituaries and reviews. As notions of identity, self and other become more fluid, it uses genre and period to examine lesbian critical theory and to move beyond existing notions of the permissible and the acceptable in a request for more radical critical language. The book extends the boundaries of enquiry with an investigation into the ways in which lesbians self-represent and are themselves written about in the "factual modes" of non-fiction.

Since it first emerged from Britainrs"s punk-rock scene in the late 1970s, goth subculture has haunted postmodern culture and society, reinventing itself inside and against the mainstream.Goth: Undead Subcultureis the first collection of scholarly essays devoted to this enduring yet little examined cultural phenomenon. Twenty-three essays from various disciplines explore the music, cinema, television, fashion, literature, aesthetics, and fandoms associated with the subculture. They examine gothrs"s many dimensions-including its melancholy, androgyny, spirituality, and perversity-and take readers inside locations in Los Angeles, Austin, Leeds, London, Buffalo, New York City, and Sydney. A number of the contributors are or have been participants in the subculture, and several draw on their own experiences.The volumers"s editors provide a rich history of goth, describing its play of resistance and consumerism; its impact on class, race, and gender; and its distinctive features as an "undead" subculture in light of post-subculture studies and other critical approaches. The essays include an interview with the distinguished fashion historian Valerie Steele; analyses of novels by Anne Rice, Poppy Z. Brite, and Nick Cave; discussions of goths on the Internet; and readings of iconic goth texts from Bram Stokerrs"sDraculato James Ors"Barrrs"s graphic novelThe Crow. Other essays focus on gothic music, including seminal precursors such as Joy Division and David Bowie, and goth-influenced performers such as the Cure, Nine Inch Nails, and Marilyn Manson. Gothic sexuality is explored in multiple ways, the subjects ranging from the San Francisco queercore scene of the 1980s to the increasing influence of fetishism and fetish play. Together these essays demonstrate that while its participants are often middle-class suburbanites, goth blurs normalizing boundaries even as it appears as an everlasting shadow of late capitalism.

This volume of essays examines a realm as yet untouched in literary and cultural criticism and gender theory; a specifically lesbian postmodern. The essays trace, on the one hand, how some lesbian cultural theory and production foregrounds a politics of difference and marginality and thereby critiques the dominance of patriarchal and heterosexual hegemony through a variety of postmodern strategies and techniques. on the other hand, some essays note how a postmodern aesthetic, with its valorization of difference, sexual plurality, and gender blurring, assists lesbian cultural production. In the opening section, contributors scrutinize the shifting definitions of the terms lesbian and postmodern and explore the potential, as well as the danger, engendered by this new conceptual territory. Subsequent essays turn toward literary and visual representation and popular culture to discern how a lesbian postmodern might enable an interventionist or transformative politics. 20th century,american literature,classics,criticism and theory,gay and lesbian,gay and lesbian studies,history,history and criticism,humanities,literary criticism Gay & Lesbian, Columbia Univ Pr<
