An Archive of Feelings

Trauma, Sexuality, and Lesbian Public Cultures

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

""An Archive of Feelings" makes an extremely important contribution to queer and feminist cultural studies by insisting upon the public, and indeed national, dimensions of sexual trauma. Ann Cvetkovich's book argues for the productive rather than repressive power of trauma and accounts for its role in the production of queer identities and queer counter publics. This is queer cultural studies at its finest!"--Judith Halberstam, author of "Female Masculinity"
