Warhol's opacity -- Unseen Warhol/seeing Barthes -- Andy Warhol up-tight: Warhol's effects -- Conclusion: The interview as multi-mediated object.Opacity and the Closet interrogates the viability of the metaphor of "the closet" when applied to three important queer figures in postwar American and French culture: the philosopher Michel Foucault, the literary critic Roland Barthes, and the pop artist Andy Warhol. Nicholas de Villiers proposes a new approach to these cultural icons that accounts for the queerness of their works and public personas. Rather than reading their self-presentations as "closeted," de Villiers suggests that they invent and deploy productive strategies of "opacity" that resist the closet and the confessional discouQueer theorySelf in literatureHomosexuality in literatureQueer theory.Self in literature.Homosexuality in literature.809/.93353De Villiers Nicholas1097209MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790275303321Opacity and the closet3758040UNINA
