Produktbeschreibung

Contemporary Queer Modernism offers a fresh, interdisciplinary approach to the study of the intersections of queer studies and modernist studies.

The theoretical expansiveness and mutual overlapping of these still-growing fields is both introduced and complicated in the pages of this volume. Presenting a wide range of critical perspectives, the collection brings together original scholarship from both emerging and established scholars that, when read together, demonstrates the continued vitality of queer modernist studies. The book is divided into five parts:

• Temporality
• Form
• Embodiment
• Networks
• Affect and Atmosphere

Contemporary Queer Modernism is a foundational collection that will be invaluable to scholars and students studying modernism and queer theory across a range of disciplines, including gender and sexuality studies, literary studies, cultural studies, and performance.
