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 country2441593UNINA04185nam 2200997Ia 450 991078493600332120230725023859.01-282-69767-697866126976780-520-94573-510.1525/9780520945739(CKB)2670000000034493(EBL)566767(OCoLC)659590761(SSID)ssj0000412801(PQKBManifestationID)11305563(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000412801(PQKBWorkID)10388451(PQKB)10803459(StDuBDS)EDZ0000055781(MiAaPQ)EBC566767(MdBmJHUP)muse30321(DE-B1597)520042(DE-B1597)9780520945739(Au-PeEL)EBL566767(CaPaEBR)ebr10402704(CaONFJC)MIL269767(EXLCZ)99267000000003449320090918d2010 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrBig ecology[electronic resource] the emergence of ecosystem science /David C.

The Future of Big Ecology: IGBP, AmeriFlux, NEON, and Other Major Initiatives --REFERENCES --INDEXIn Big Ecology, David C. Coleman documents his historically fruitful ecological collaborations in the early years of studying large ecosystems in the United States. As Coleman explains, the concept of the ecosystem-a local biological community and its interactions with its environment-has given rise to many institutions and research programs, like the National Science Foundation's program for Long Term Ecological Research. Coleman's insider account of this important and fascinating trend toward big science takes us from the paradigm of collaborative interdisciplinary research, starting with the International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957, through the International Biological Program (IBP) of the late 1960's and early 1970's, to the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) programs of the 1980's.Biotic communitiesResearchEcosystem managementResearchEcologyResearchInterdisciplinary research1957.1960s.1970s.1980s.american ecosystems.big science.biological communities.ecological collaborations.ecologists.ecology.ecosystem science.environment.insider perspective.interdisciplinary research.international biological program.international geophysical year.large ecosystems.long term ecological research programs.long term ecological research.national science foundation.nonfiction account.research institutions.research programs.science majors.study of ecosystems.textbooks.united states.Biotic communitiesResearch.Ecosystem managementResearch.EcologyResearch.Interdisciplinary research.577.072Coleman David C.1938-511903MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784936003321Big ecology3793356UNINA
