Queering the Moderns: Poses/Portraits/Performances

0/5 ( ratings)

In "Queering the Moderns," Anne Herrmann revisits the narrative of literary modernism and the historical uses of the term " queer" to explore the emergence of identities specific to modernism. "Queer" in the modernist period means "strange, odd, out of sorts" and although it begins to refer to those who are queer sexually, it does not yet police a hetero-homosexual divide. It means crossing boundaries in unexpected directions, across the Atlantic, across the color line, across literary conventions that dictate autobiographies can't be written by someone else. Six memoirs that rely on cross-gender and cross-racial identifications are discussed within their specific cultural contexts so that female aviators , "lesbian" auto/biographers and male auto-ethnographers begin to "queer" the traditional spaces of modernism.

Pages: 197

Format: Hardcover
