Gay life and culture : a world history / by Aldrich, Robert,1954-(CARDINAL)733514;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 364-377) and index."In the years since Stonewall, the world has witnessed an outpouring of research, critical inquiry, and re-interpretation of gay life and culture. This book draws on groundbreaking new material to present a comprehensive survey of all things gay, stretching back to ancient Sumeria and ranging to the present day. Critically acclaimed historian Robert Aldrich and ten leading scholars juxtapose thought-provoking essays with an extensive selection of images, many never before seen. This masterful combination reveals the story behind gay culture from the industrialized world to the remotest corners of tribal New Guinea. Among the contributors are noted names in GLBT studies such as Brett Beemyn (author of Bisexuality in the Lives of Men), Charles Hupperts (expert on classical antiquity at the University of Amsterdam), Helmut Puff (University of Michigan expert on the medieval world), and Florence Temagne (author of A History of Homosexuality in Europe). The book covers such topics as the Old Testament relationship between Jonathan and David, the Age of Confucius, Native American berdaches, Polynesian mahus, Berlin in the '20s, Stonewall and the disco-flavored hedonism that followed, and the advent of AIDS, Act Up, and Angels in America. This book is an important contribution to understanding what makes gay life and culture universal throughout human culture and across time." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0624/2006903208-d.html.

Art & queer culture / by Lord, Catherine,1949-compiler,writer of added commentary.author.; Meyer, Richard,1966-compiler,writer of added commentary.author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Survey : Inverted histories: 1885-1979 / Richard Meyer ; Inside the body politic: 1980-present / Catherine Lord -- Works : Thresholds (1885-1909) ; Stepping out (1910-29) ; Case studies (1930-49) ; Closet organizers (1950-64) ; Into the streets (1965-79) ; Sex wars (1980-94) ; Queer worlds (1995-2009) -- Here and Now (2010-present) -- Artists' Biographies -- Index.Updated and revised, Art & Queer Culture is a comprehensive and definitive survey of artworks that have constructed, contested, or otherwise responded to alternative forms of sexuality. Rather than focusing exclusively on artists who self-identify as gay or lesbian, Art & Queer Culture instead traces the shifting possibilities and constraints of sexual identity that have provided visual artists with a rich creative resource over the last 130 years - and it does so in an accessible, authoritative voice, and with a wealth of rarely-seen imagery.

Lesbian decadence : representations in art and literature of fin-de-siècle France / by Albert, Nicole G.,author.(CARDINAL)899177; Erber, Nancy,1951-translator.(CARDINAL)899151; Peniston, William A.,1959-translator.(CARDINAL)270739; Harrington Park Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)899178;
Includes bibliographical references and index.In 1857 the French poet Charles Baudelaire, who was fascinated by lesbianism, created a scandal with Les Fleurs du Mal [The Flowers of Evil]. This collection was originally entitled "The Lesbians" and described women as "femmes damn es, " with "disordered souls" suffering in a hypocritical world. Then twenty years later, lesbians in Paris dared to flaunt themselves in that extraordinarily creative period at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries which became known as the Belle poque. Lesbian Decadence, now available in English for the first time, provides a new analysis and synthesis of the depiction of lesbianism as a social phenomenon and a symptom of social malaise as well as a fantasy in that most vibrant place and period in history. In this newly translated work, praised by leading critics as "authoritative, " "stunning, " and "a marvel of elegance and erudition, " Nicole G. Albert analyzes and synthesizes an engagingly rich sweep of historical representations of the lesbian mystique in art and literature. Albert contrasts these visions to moralists' abrupt condemnations of "the lesbian vice, " as well as the newly emerging psychiatric establishment's medical fury and their obsession on cataloging and classifying symptoms of "inversion" or "perversion" in order to cure these "unbalanced creatures of love." Lesbian Decadence combines literary, artistic, and historical analysis of sources from the mainstream to the rare, from scholarly studies to popular culture. The English translation provides a core reference/text for those interested in the Decadent movement, in literary history, in French history and social history. It is well suited for courses in gender studies, women's studies, LGBT history, and lesbianism in literature, history, and art.--

Faces and phases / by Muholi, Zanele.(CARDINAL)331918;
"In Faces and Phases, I continue to document and explore black lesbian identities through portraiture, where the participants are photographed in their various domiciles. One of our collective painful experiences as a community is the loss of friends and acquaintances through disease or hate crimes. Some of these participated in my visual projects. What is left behind now is the individuals' portraits that works as a site of memory for us, as a trace of 'who and what existed' in a particular space at this particular moment when our black lesbian and South African histories intersect." --Artist's statement

Queer threads : crafting identity and community / by Chaich, John,author.; Oldham, Todd,author.; Ammo,publisher.; Leslie/Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art,host institution.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Queer Threads: Crafting Identity and Community showcases twenty-nine artists who are moving through the narrow space that is gay or straight, biological or social, craft and fine art and doing so explicitly through their work in fiber and textile. Loaded with gender connotations and power hierarchies, fiber-based handicrafts such as crochet, embroidery, knitting, macrame, quilting, and sewing provide a fitting platform for examining tastes, roles, and relationships socialized within and around gay and lesbian culture, as well as our reactions to the traditional home and cultures in which we were raised. This book evolves from an exhibition of the same name, that John Chaich curated in 2014 at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay & Lesbian Art in New York City, the first dedicated LGBTQ art museum in the world with a mission to exhibit and preserve LGBTQ art and foster the artists who create it. While other recent, high-profile fiber and textile exhibitions have featured several of the artists in Queer Threads, the Leslie-Lohman exhibition marked the first time these works were shown together to specifically examine the works queerness. To further examine how queerness informs each featured artist's work in fiber and textiles, or vice versa, this book features interviewers from the worlds of music, fashion, media, dance, museums, and scholarship who are makers and thinkers themselves, many members of the queer community if not powerful allies. The resulting dialogues are as fun, challenging, personal, and universal as the ideas in the works discussed.

Includes bibliographical references and indexes."Queer Exhibition Histories is composed of case studies, interviews and essays that emphasize different queer exhibitions and their modes of presentation and archiving. Many of these projects were short-lived or were executed between the walls of the private or domestic space, far beyond the scope of any institutional recognition. Therefore, the exhibitions materialized on limited budgets, were hardly documented and received barely any media coverage. For this reason, the legacy of these projects is highly dependent on personal archives, memories and paraphernalia, whereof the entries are not always easy to find. The events were not only artistic, but they could equally be discursive, activist and educational, or serve as a tool for community building. At the intersection of queerness and contemporary art, Queer Exhibition Histories investigates how the efforts of LGBTQIA+ artists and curators have advanced their public presence"--

There are no homosexuals in Iran / by Rasti, Laurence,1990-author,photographer.(CARDINAL)873714; Shaban-Azad, Sara,translator.(CARDINAL)873793; Edition Patrick Frey,publisher.(CARDINAL)873320;
Ahoura -- Pedram -- Bahar -- Mani."Speaking at Columbia University on September 24, 2007, Iranian president at the time Mahmoud Ahmadinejad proclaimed: "In Iran, we do not have homosexuals like in your country." While most Western nations now officially accept homosexuality and some even same-sex marriage, homosexuality is still punishable by death in Iran. Homosexuals are not allowed to live out their sexuality there. Their only options are either to choose transsexuality, which is tolerated by law but considered pathological, or to flee. In Denizli, a city in Turkey, hundreds of gay Iranians are stuck in a transit zone, their lives on hold, hoping against hope to be welcomed into a host country someday where they can start afresh and come out of the closet. Set in this state of limbo, where anonymity is the best protection, my photographs explore the sensitive concepts of identity and gender and seek to restore to each of these men and women the face their country stole from them." --Artist's statement."While most Western nations now officially accept homosexuality and some even same-sex marriage, homosexuality is still punishable by death in Iran.

Tender / by Williams, Carla,1965-photographer.(CARDINAL)421307; Container of (work):Miller-Young, Mireille,1976-Carla Williams's Black feminist pornographic gaze.; TBW Books (Oakland, Calif.),publisher.;
"TBW Books is pleased to present Tender, the first monograph by artist Carla Williams. Made in private between 1984 and 1999 and kept mostly to herself for more than thirty years, the images in Tender comprise a complete, personal self-portrait of a young, queer, Black woman intimately exploring the realm of her own possibility. When Williams was eighteen and studying photography at Princeton, she began making the black and white and color portraits in Tender to create pictures in her own image. Her mind was filled equally with the canonical images of the medium's male-driven history and the posing women discovered during her youth in her father's pornography collection. Using her own body, Williams created the portraits she had never seen before. Made with instant Polaroid 35mm and 4x5 type 55 film formats, Williams profited from the near instant result to continuously play with her own expression and form. An act of tender commune with herself, these are every version of the artist on full display: provocative, playful, sensual, gentle, powerful, mean, glamorous, forlorn, funny. The photographs in Tender are ignited with the raw energy of a young artist on the cusp of adulthood and her own burgeoning sexual identity. Included in the book are essays by the artist and scholar Mireille Miller-Young." -- Publisher's website."It all started when I decided on the spur of the moment to purchase an old postal sorting cabinet on eBay. After getting it home and installed in the living room, I had to figure out what to do with it, so being photographically inclined I thought, 'why not sort snapshots in it?' As a photographer and the keeper of my family's photographs I figured I'd fill all 63 slots; I filled less than a quarter. So I sorted through all of my photo boxes, eager to fill more slots, and I came upon a stack of Type 669 Polaroid 3½ x 4¼ prints, ones I'd quickly made about twenty years ago using one of those old Vivitar instant slide printers. There were soft-­focus images processed using an obscure, highly toxic direct-positive formula I concocted from the Photographer's Formulary (and of which, at the time, I was extremely proud, being the non-technician that I was). Most I had shot using Polaroid 35mm instant slide film--Polagraph, Polapan, and Polablue--gorgeous, silvery slips that, of course, you just couldn't see easily unless you printed them. These were only ever intended for my reference, so I didn't take any particular care with them; besides, I was plagued, it seemed, by technical misfortune: Polaroid slide film had to be processed using a small machine in which you'd roll the film out along with its developing pack, wait a designated number of seconds, then roll it back into the canister. Many of my rolls were inexplicably streaked in this processing, hence the frequent white stripes that appear in the subsequent prints. As usual, I made the most of these technical mistakes, sometimes more successfully than others, but I had so many of them I couldn't abandon all of the images that had streaking, scratches, or other ailments. And of course, now that all of those products and the equipment are no longer available/obsolete, the materiality of these small prints takes on an added significance. When I began to sort through the stack a funny thing happened-I rediscovered how much I loved these photos, and I loved this fearless young woman who was making them. Here I could see the origins of everything, when photography was endlessly fun and exciting and something I did persistently and constantly in part for the joy of looking. What I saw was a very young photographer enthralled by the medium and its history. There's my homage to my favorite Lee Friedlander self-portrait (Philadelphia, 1965), which has always best summed up the utterly mundane and unpretty process of photographing one's self; my paper backdrop cuttings a la Francis Bruguière--in short, the whole of my photo history education to that point was reflected in the kinds of images I made and sought to make..." -- Full Statement available at :Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards. 2023 First PhotoBook Shortlist.

Includes bibliographical references."Zanele Muholi came to prominence in the early 2000s with photographs that sought to re-envision Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and intersex lives in South Africa. Their body of work challenges dominant stereotypes, presenting the participants in their photographs as fellow human beings bravely existing in the face of prejudice, intolerance and often violence. This book presents the full breadth of Muholi's activist practice from their very first body of work Only Half the Picture, to their on-going series of self-portraits Somnyama Ngonyama, as well as new essays and an interview with the artist."Born in South Africa in 1972, Zanele Muholi came to prominence in the early 2000s with photographs that sought to envision black lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and intersex lives beyond deviance or victimhood. Muholi's work challenges hetero-patriarchal ideologies and representations, presenting the participants in their photographs as confident and beautiful individuals bravely existing in the face of prejudice, intolerance, and, frequently, violence. While Muholi's intimate photographs of others launched their international career, their intense self-portraits solidified it. The illustrations include images from the key series Muholi has produced over the past 20 years, as well as never-before-published and recent works. This book, and the exhibition it accompanies, present the full breadth of Muholi's photographic and activist practice.
