Queer Lovers and Hateful Others: Regenerating Violent Times and Places

Artist/Author: Jin Haritaworn | Reference: P3720 | ISBN: 978-0745330617 | Type: Publication

Berlin is once more capital of queer arts and tourism. Queerness is more visible today than it has been for decades, but at what cost? This book argues that queer subjects have become a lovely sight only through being cast in the shadow of the new folk devil, the ‘homophobic migrant’ who is rendered by society as hateful, homophobic and disposable.

That’s Revolting: Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation

Artist/Author: Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore | Reference: P1593 | Type: Publication

Intended as a fistful of rocks to throw at the glass house of Gaylandia, the book challenges the commercialised, commodified, and hyperobjectified view of gay/queer identity projected by the mainstream (straight and gay) media by exploring queer struggles to transform gender, revolutionise sexuality, and build community/family outside of traditional models.
