Sommario/riassunto |
|
Drawing on a wide range of material from art, theater, music, and literature, Contreras argues that historical memory is embedded in |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these forms of art and can perhaps take us "somewhere better than this place." The critical energies in the book come from Chicana/o and queer studies. Contreras views unrequited love as a utopian space of possibility and transformation. The discussion includes The Boys in the Band, Arturo Islas, Paris is Burning, Judy Garland, and Kiss of the Spider Woman. |
