Abstract

For around a hundred years up to the Stonewall riots, the word used for gay men was 'queers'. In The Culture of Queers, Richard Dyer traces the contours of queer culture, examining the differences and continuities with the gay culture which succeeded it. Opening with a discussion of the very concept of 'queers', Dyer asks what it means to speak of a sexual grouping having a culture, and addresses issues such as gay attitudes to women and the notion of camp. From screaming queens to sensitive vampires and sad young men, and from pulp novels to pornography to the films of Fassbinder, The Culture of Queers explores the history of queer arts and media.--

Abstract

Ondanks de aanzienlijke gemeenschap van lesbische families in Amerika, blijven lesbische moeders en hun kinderen geconfronteerd worden met vijandigheid en discriminatie. Dit boek bekijkt de rol die retoriek speelt in de vorming van deze negatieve attituden en praktijken. De auteur onderzoekt hoe en in welke mate de uitdrukking 'lesbische moeder' in de voorbije dertig jaar in het publieke debat gezien is als een oxymoron. Er wordt gefocust op de historische en hedendaagse betekenissen van lesbisch moederschap in drie culturele domeinen: de massamedia, het rechtsapparaat van de Verenigde Staten en recent onderzoek in feministische psychologie.
