Clark1st ed. 2020.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2020.1 online resource (210 pages)American Literature Readings in the 21st Century,2634-58033-030-52113-3 Chapter One: Introduction -- Chapter Two: American Avengers -- Chapter Three: We Could Be Heroes -- Chapter Four: Black Sites -- Chapter five: Emergent Queers -- Chapter six: Conclusion. .This book examines the queer implications of memory and nationhood in transcultural U.S. literature and culture. Through an analysis of art and photography responding to the U.S. domestic response to 9/11, Iraq war fiction, representations of Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo Bay, and migrant fiction in the twenty-first century, Christopher W. Clark creates a queer archive of transcultural U.S. texts as a way of destabilizing heteronormativity and thinking about productive spaces of queer world-building. Drawing on the fields of transcultural memory, queer studies, and transculturalism, this book raises important questions of queer bodies and subjecthood. Clark traces their legacies through texts by Sinan Antoon, Mohamedou Ould Slahi among others, alongside film and photography that includes artists such as Nina Berman and Hasan Elahi. In all, the book queers forms of cultural memory and national identity to uncover the traces of injury but also spaces of regeneration.American Literature Readings in the 21st Century,2634-5803AmericaLiteraturesLiteraturePhilosophyFeminism and literatureQueer theoryEthnologyAmericaCultureMotion picturesTelevision broadcastingCultureStudy and teachingNorth American LiteratureFeminist Literary TheoryQueer StudiesAmerican CultureFilm and Television StudiesVisual CultureAmericaLiteratures.LiteraturePhilosophy.Feminism and literature.Queer theory.EthnologyAmerica.Culture.Motion pictures.Television broadcasting.CultureStudy and teaching.North American Literature.Feminist Literary Theory.Queer Studies.American Culture.Film and Television Studies.Visual Culture.810.9306Clark Christopher Wauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut246074MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483481303321Queering Memory and National Identity in Transcultural U.S. Literature and Culture2834311UNINA
