In spite of this, much of the queer theoretical scholarship of the last three decades has used queer as a synonym for anti-normative sexual identities. The contributions to this volume return to the idea of transitivity, exploring what happens when queer is thought of as a turning toward or turning away from a diverse range of objects, including bodily waste; frozen cats; archival ephemera; the writing of Virginia Woolf; the Pop art of Ray Johnson; the podcast \u003ci\u003eS-Town\u003c\/i\u003e; and Maggie Nelson's memoir \u003ci\u003eThe Argonauts\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelevant to those studying queer theory, this book will also be of wider interest to those researching identity and the way in which it is represented in a variety of artistic disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eAngelaki.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47616238452887,"sku":"9780367202934","price":12867.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367202934.webp?v=1775112020","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/queer-objects-9780367202934","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
