Strikingly beautiful and exceptionally talented, Montgomery Clift was at the peak of his fame in 1956 when a devastating car crash nearly destroyed his face. While this traumatic event robbed him of his heartthrob status and turned him into a somewhat disturbing, socially alienated character, author Elisabetta Girelli argues that Clift had always combined on-screen erotic ambiguity with real-life sexual nonconformity. In Montgomery Clift, Queer Star she maps the development of Clift's subversive image over the span of his entire career, approaching Clift as a queer signifier who defied normative cultural structures.From the sexually ambivalent "beautiful boy" of his early films, to the seemingly asexual, transgressive, and often distressed man of his last years, Girelli argues that Clift shows remarkable consistency as a star: his presence always challenges established notions of virility, sexuality, and bodily "normality." Girelli's groundbreaking analysis uses queer theory to assess Clift's disruptive legacy, engaging with key critical concepts such as the closet, performativity, queer shame, crip theory, and queer temporality. She balances theoretical frameworks with extensive close readings of his performances and a consideration of how Clift's personal life, and public perceptions of it, informed his overall image as a deviant star and man.Montgomery Clift, Queer Star offers a comprehensive critical assessment of Clift through classic texts of queer criticism, as well as new interventions in the field. Scholars of gender and film, performance studies, queer and sexuality studies, and masculinity studies will appreciate this compelling study.

Dear Jonas, You Can Do Better is a performative artwork and graphic novel. The project is also a meditation on loss and heartbreak through contemporary art history. It is the artist’s way of dealing with the harsh reality of a broken relationship with her ex. She invites strangers of all genders, sexual orientations and backgrounds to participate in the re-enactment of unfulfilled promises and interrupted memories with her ex. Through this journey that culminates in short graphic stories, the collective empathy and relation to the idea of loss gently finds its way into the master narrative. The artist discovers similar feelings of heartache and longing in the strangers she meets and in the imaginary conversations with contemporary artists Abramovi?, Emin, and Calle. Interleaves with an almost art historical look at visual works inspired by loss and heartbreak provide an accompaniment to each graphic story. The artist delves into subjective and objective consequences of a heartache, and hopes to bring the viewer to their own private reconciliation of their unmet desires.

"This Bright Light of Ours combines a memoir with oral history to create a very vivid portrait of the Freedom Summer of 1965 in Wilcox County, Alabama, when volunteers and long-standing local black leaders were shaking the cultural norms, registering thousands of new voters. This book documents the first-person experience of Maria Gitin, an idealistic 18-year-old college freshman from San Francisco who felt called to action when she viewed televised images of the brutal treatment of peaceful demonstrators during what became known as Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama"--
