Ugliness, in this work, is a multipronged concept: it equates with the disagreeable and pejorative traits that are attributed to queerness; it aligns itself with nonwhite, nonmale, and nonheterosexual physicality and experience; and it refers to anti-aesthetic textual practices, which are located in/as underground culture.Illinois scholarship online.LesbiansIdentityUglinessQueer theoryLesbians in mass mediaAlternative mass mediaElectronic books.LesbiansIdentity.Ugliness.Queer theory.Lesbians in mass media.Alternative mass media.306.7601Howard Yetta864084MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466717903321Ugly differences1928716UNINA
