Wholesale Queer Icons: A Queer Bodies Anthology - Paperback

by Day Mattar (Editor), Brendan Curtis (Editor) As queer people we are forced to find representation in villains, seek surrogate parents in divas, daddies and pop stars. We construct alternative histories, cosmologies, and spiritualities from those handed down to us. We become our own icons, ascribing 'iconic' status. We trouble and disrupt the established order, and so we must write narratives alternative to the ones we are erased from. Queer Bodies: Queer Icons explores multiple associations with the word 'icon', from the symbolic & sacred, to fetishism & celebrity. This anthology is a queer body of potential for what it means to be an icon here and now. Number of Pages: 108 Dimensions: 0.26 x 8 x 5 IN Publication Date: August 31, 2022
