  • Winner of Surface Encounters 2013

Overview

Challenging many of the assumptions behind first-wave queer theory, If Memory Serves offers a new perspective on the emergence of contemporary queer culture from the suppression and repression of gay memory. Drawing on a rich archive of videos, films, television shows, novels, monuments, paintings, and sculptures created in the wake of the epidemic, the authors reveal a resistance among critics to valuing-even recognizing-the inscription of gay memory in art, literature, popular culture, and the built environment.

Reviews

<p> Surface Encounters is an insightful consideration of the problematics of animal phenomenology. --Kari Weil, Wesleyan University


Surface Encounters is an insightful consideration of the problematics of animal phenomenology. -Kari Weil, Wesleyan University Learned and intellectually courageous, Surface Encounters brims with counter-intuitive arguments about what it means to tarry thoughtfully with non-human life. This is nothing less than a scholarly manifesto: compact, lively, and pressing, as much a rousing call for future imaginings as it is a sober analysis in its own right. -David Clark, McMaster University
