Asking us to look beyond the cities on the coasts, Scott Herring draws a new map, tracking how rural queers have responded to this myopic mindset. Interweaving a wide range of disciplines—art, media, literature, performance, and fashion studies—he develops an extended critique of how metronormativity saturates LGBTQ politics, artwork, and criticism. To counter this ideal, he offers a vibrant theory of queer anti-urbanism that refuses to dismiss the rural as a cultural backwater.Impassioned and provocative, Another Country expands the possibilities of queer studies beyond its city limits. Herring leads his readers from faeries in the rural Midwest to photographs of white supremacists in the deep South, from Roland Barthes’s obsession with Parisian fashion to a graphic memoir by Alison Bechdel set in the Appalachian Mountains, and from cubist paintings in Lancaster County to lesbian separatist communes on the northern California coast. The result is an entirely original account of how queer studies can—and should—get to another country.Sexual cultures.Rural gay menUnited StatesRural lesbiansUnited StatesElectronic books.America.Asking.Herring.Interweaving.LGBTQ.Scott.art.artwork.been.beyond.cities.coasts.criticism.critique.cultures.develops.disciplines.draws.exclusive.extended.fashion.focus.have.literature.look.map.media.metronormativity.metropolis.mindset.myopic.near.performance.politics.queer.queers.range.responded.rural.saturates.scholars.studies.this.tracking.wide.Rural gay menRural lesbians306.76/620973091734Herring Scott1976-907028MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458035003321Another country2441593UNINA04576nam 22008175 450 991030039260332120251230055100.03-319-02207-510.1007/978-3-319-02207-9(CKB)3710000000143789(EBL)1966807(SSID)ssj0001278248(PQKBManifestationID)11739206(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001278248(PQKBWorkID)11283867(PQKB)10912788(MiAaPQ)EBC1966807(DE-He213)978-3-319-02207-9(PPN)179767364(EXLCZ)99371000000014378920140623d2014 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrUniverse of Scales: From Nanotechnology to Cosmology Symposium in Honor of Minoru M.

These include low temperature physics, cosmology, and nanotechnology with its wide-ranging applicability to material science, neuroscience, Earth sciences and satellite technology.  To learn more about Mino’s career you can download the "Tribute" <http://multimedia.seti.org/mino/Tribute.pdf>, which outlines his journey from (i) low-temperature physics and superconductivity at the ETH Zürich to (ii) building one remarkable milliKelvin refrigerator for the US-Japan IRTS mission at UC Berkeley and ISAS in Japan to (iii) a decade in cosmology, to (iv) being on the micro-bolometer team at NASA Goddard for the HAWC instrument on SOFIA, to (v) developing at AFRL the nanotechnology portfolio for the entire Air Force.  This was followed by six years at the NASA Ames Research Center, where Mino formulated his far-ahead ideas about swarms of capable nanosats circling the Earth, which have since started to become a reality. He engaged in a broad range of nanotechnology projects, including novel applications in neuroscience well before he himself was struck by the deadly brain tumor.Springer Proceedings in Physics,1867-4941 ;150MeasurementMeasuring instrumentsSolar systemNanoscienceCosmologyLow temperaturesMeasurement Science and InstrumentationSpace PhysicsNanophysicsCosmologyLow Temperature PhysicsMeasurement.Measuring instruments.Solar system.Nanoscience.Cosmology.Low temperatures.Measurement Science and Instrumentation.Space Physics.Nanophysics.Cosmology.Low Temperature Physics.500.5520523.1530530.8536.56620.5Freund Friedemannedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLanghoff Stephanieedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300392603321Universe of Scales: From Nanotechnology to Cosmology1770379UNINA
