Queer Objects [Minkštas viršelis]

"The queer angel of history has brought us from New Zealand this remarkable book of objects that have aroused memories involuntary and voluntary, painful and uplifting, individual and communal. A deeply moving exploration of history, memory, and queerness." - Jeffrey Escoffier (author of American Homo: Community and Perversity) "Ive been waiting for a book like Queer Objects that examines the stuff of material culture through the sensibilities of many contributors. Each chapter reveals insider knowledge of a particular item, framing it in passionate queer context that triggers our own associations and memories. This is a gorgeous book; youll want to keep it out in plain view."

- E.G. Crichton (visual artist, creator of LINEAGE: Matchmaking in the Archive and Migrating Archive) "In this masterful volume, the material culture of the LGBTQ+ community is sumptuously depicted. Both coffee-table book and academic tome, Queer Objects is richly illustrated with huge, colorful photos on nearly every one of its 400-plus pages. Well balanced in that the multiplicity of the artifacts reflects the rich diversity of the gay community, Queer Objects is difficult to put down. We never knew we needed this book so much. Essential." (Choice)
