Nouvelle Burlesque Brutal
Performance artist Katrina Daschner's explosive third book is divided into chapters corresponding to her films Hafenperlen (2008), Aria de Mustang (2009) and Flaming Flamingoes (2011).While the burlesque narratives are told in part through film stills, flip-book effects are also used in the book format to ''read'' the gestural moments and performative aspects visible in the cinematic rendition. The stage and the exhibition are perceived as a sexualized arena of play and performance in which processes of desire and power - along with gaze scenarios - are negotiated and staged. Readers walk on to a stage setting to find themselves in a field of gazes in which they have become not just the audience but also the protagonists.
Queer Tracks: Subversive Strategies in Rock and Pop Music
Queer Tracks describes motifs in popular music that deviate from heterosexual orientation, the binary gender system and fixed identities. This exciting cutting-edge work deals with the key concepts of current gender politics and queer theory in rock and pop music, including irony, parody, camp, mask/masquerade, mimesis/mimicry, cyborg, transsexuality, and dildo. Based on a constructivist concept of gender, Leibetseder asks: ’Which queer-feminist strategies are used in rock and pop music?’ ’How do they function?’ ’Where do they occur?’ Leibetseder's methodological process is to discover subversive strategies in queer theory, which are also used in rock and pop music, without assum...
Gender, relations, revisions
von der Rolle Wer sich mit Gender befasst, begibt sich auf eine Reise durch alle Bereiche der gesellscha- lichen Verhältnisse, lernt die Mechanismen von Gruppenzwängen, Ein- und Ausgrenzungen in verschiedenster Gestalt kennen und entdeckt letztlich sich selbst zu einem nicht geringen Teil als Produkt dieser starken, allgemein wirksamen Kräfte. Gender, das ist die Rolle, der wir z- geschrieben sind, die uns auf den Leib geschrieben ist, in die wir hineingewachsen sind. Sehr oft aber ist es eine Rolle, die uns widerstrebt, mit der wir uns nicht identifizieren können, g- schweige denn wollen. Der Begriff beschreibt ein Muster, von dem wir abhängen – oft aus traditionsbedingter Anhänglic...

Atlante del cinema queer contemporaneo
Interprete di pensieri e modalità esistenziali non omologate, il cinema queer contemporaneo riparte dal desiderio e rielabora le tematiche LGBTQI+ con modalità linguistiche e discorsive inedite, innovando estetiche e sensibilità e inaugurando una cornice all’interno della quale liberarsi delle etichette. In occasione dei dieci anni dalla nascita del Sicilia Queer filmfest, il volume curato da Andrea Inzerillo mappa per la prima volta in una ricerca di ampio respiro il cinema queer europeo dal 2000 al 2020, proponendosi come un racconto originale e prezioso di un segmento importante della cinematografia del nuovo millennio.

Pink Labor on Golden Streets
"Pink labor on golden streets: queer art practices is particularly concerned with combining, juxtaposing, or playing off various artistic strategies where form and politics intervene. Two artistic attitudes, often perceived as divergent, are described here: the choice of form attributed to political issues versus political stances dictating the question of form. This book sheds light on contradictory standpoints of queer art practices, conceptions of the body, and ideas of 'queer abstraction, ' a term coined by Jack Judith Halberstam that raises questions to do with (visual) representations in the context of gender, sexuality, and desire"--Page [4] of cover.
Desire Change
In the resistance to the violence of gender-based oppression, vibrant – but often ignored – worlds have emerged, full of nuance, humour, and beauty. Correcting an absence of writing about contemporary feminist work by Canadian artists, Desire Change considers the resurgence of feminist art, thought, and practice in the past decade by examining artworks that respond to themes of diversity and desire. Essays by historians, artists, and curators present an overview of a range of artistic practices including performance, installation, video, textiles, and photography. Contributors address the desire for change through three central frames: how feminist art has significantly contributed to the complex understanding of gender as it intersects with sexuality and race; the necessary critique of patriarchy and institutions as they relate to colonization within the Canadian nation-state; and the ways in which contemporary critiques are formed and expressed. Heavily illustrated with representative works, Desire Change raises both the stakes and the concerns of contemporary feminist art, with an understanding that feminism is always and necessarily plural.
