Review
."..Bound to become the definitive work on [this subject]...The essays cover an extraordinary range of topics, from television to the very personal language shared by couples..."Queer Words, Queer Images" is must reading for anyone interested in the gentle art of communication."-Karla Jay, Professor of English and Women's Studies, Pace University, co-Editor, "Out of the Closets: Voices of Gay Liberation"
Product Description
This work argues that homosexuality has become an issue precisely because of the way in which we discuss, debate and communicate about the concept and experience of homosexuality. It claims that the debate over homosexuality is fundamentally an issue of communication - as in the controversy over gays in the military, framed by communication-sensitive terms such as "morale" and "discipline". The 20 chapters address such subjects: as gay political language; homosexuality and AIDs on prime-time television; the politics of male homosexuality in young adult fiction; the identification of female athleticism with lesbianism; the politics of identity in the works of Edmund White; and coming-out strategies. This book should be of interest to students of communication practices and theory, and for everyone interested in human sexuality.
