The Dark Side of Camp Aesthetics (eBook, ePUB)

Queer Economies of Dirt, Dust and Patina
Redaktion: Hotz-Davies, Ingrid; Vogt, Georg; Bergmann, Franziska

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores how camp challenges and at the same time celebrates a foundational cultural division, that between the dirty and the clean. In refocusing camp as a phenomenon of the dark underside as much as of the glamorous surface, the collection hopes to add to our understanding of the cultural politics and aesthetics of camp.
