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 country2441593UNINA
