ISBN: 9780814769522 / Angielski / Twarda / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From its sweaty beats to the pulsating music on the streets, Latin/o America is perceived in the United States as the land of heat, the toy store for Western sex.

In Tropics of Desire, Quiroga reads hesitant Mexican poets...

In this new full-length study of Jane Rule's life and work, Marilyn Schuster argues that Rule's novels provide a way of -writing and reading lesbian- that resists and subverts dominant discourses of gender and sexuality-both those of mainstream culture and of political and sexual subcultures.

ISBN: 9780816630158 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There is more to identity than identifying with one's culture or standing solidly against it.

Munoz calls this process "disidentification," and through a study of its workings, he develops a new perspective on minority performance, survival, and activism.Disidentifications is also something of a performance in its own right, an attempt to fashion a...

Each year hundreds of children around the world are born to lesbian mothers who conceived through alternative insemination.

Don't: A Reader's Guide to the Military's Anti-Gay Policy
ISBN: 9780822322856 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In "Don't" Janet E. Halley explains how the military's new anti-gay policy is fundamentally misdescribed by its common nickname, "Don't Ask/Don't Tell." This ubiquitous phrase, she points out, implies that it discharges servicemembers not for who they are, but for what they do. It insinuates that, as long as military personnel keep quiet about their homosexual orientation and desist from "homosexual conduct," no one will try to pry them out of their closets and all will be well.
Not so, reveals Halley. In order to work through the steps by which the new law was ultimately drafted, she... In "Don't" Janet E. Halley explains how the military's new anti-gay policy is fundamentally misdescribed by its common nickname, "Don't Ask/Don't Tell...

This collection brings together the work of both film scholars and queer theorists to advance a more sophisticated notion of queer film criticism.

In "Queer in Russia" Laurie Essig examines the formation of gay identity and community in the former Soviet Union.

After a decade of conducting interviews, as well as observing and analyzing plays, books, pop music, and graffiti, Essig presents the first sustained study of how and why there was no Soviet gay community or even gay identity before "perestroika" and the degree to which this situation has--or has not--changed.
