Gothic Queer Culture

Marginalized Communities and the Ghosts of Insidious Trauma

Produktbeschreibung

Proposes that contemporary US queer culture is gothic at its core. Using interdisciplinary cultural studies to examine the gothicism in queer art, literature, and thought, Westengard argues that a queer culture has emerged that challenges and responds to traumatic marginalization by creating a distinctly gothic aesthetic.
