Abstract

"Most studies of lesbian and gay history focus on urban environments. Yet gender and sexual diversity were anything but rare in nonmetropolitan areas in the first half of the twentieth century. Just Queer Folks explores the seldom-discussed history of same-sex intimacy and gender nonconformity in rural and small-town America during a period when the now familiar concepts of heterosexuality and homosexuality were only just beginning to take shape. Eschewing the notion that identity is always the best measure of what can be known about gender and sexuality, Colin R. Johnson argues instead for a queer historicist approach. In so doing, he uncovers a startlingly unruly rural past in which small-town eccentrics, "mannish" farm women, and cross-dressing Civilian Conservation Corps enrolees were often just queer folks so far as their neighbours were concerned. Written with wit and verve, Just Queer Folks upsets a whole host of contemporary commonplaces, including the notion that queer history is always urban history." --

Abstract

Homosexuality is often seen as a purely urban experience, far removed from rural and small-town life. Farm Boys undermines that cliché by telling the stories of more than three dozen gay men, ranging in age from 24 to 84, who grew up in farm families in the midwestern United States. Whether painful, funny, or matter-of-fact, these plain-spoken accounts will move and educate any reader, gay or not, from farm or city.

Abstract

Maximilian Stejskal (1906-1991), ethnologue et professeur de gymnastique d'Helsinki, a réalisé une étude pour sa thèse de doctorat sur les concours «d'athlétisme populaire» parmi la population rurale masculine suédophone de Finlande au début du XXe siècle. Pour son étude, Stejskal a parcouru de grandes étendues du sud et de l'est de la Finlande ainsi que de l'Estonie pendant un mois ou deux chaque année de 1929 à 1937, puis à nouveau en 1948, équipé de deux caméras à soufflet et d'une boîte de plaques photographiques en verre. Lors de ces excursions, il a systématiquement collecté des informations sur les jeux traditionnels, ou «athlétisme folklorique» comme il les appelle, qui n'étaient pratiquement plus pratiqués à l'époque. Pour la plupart, des agriculteurs et des artisans âgés lui parleraient en détail des exercices et des tests de force et de courage avec lesquels ils avaient essayé de prouver leur virilité dans leur jeunesse. Selon ces descriptions, il a été demandé à leurs fils, à leurs proches et aux travailleurs de la ferme d'effectuer les exercices devant l'appareil photo afin que Stejskal puisse les photographier. Au cours de ses recherches sur le terrain, qui ont duré plus de 20 ans, Stejskal a amassé une importante collection de documentation, qu'il a divisée en 11 sections différentes, une pour chaque excursion. Il comprend plus de deux mille pages manuscrites de carnets de voyage, des descriptions d'exercices, des tableaux, des croquis, des enregistrements musicaux et phonétiques et 433 photographies. Ce livre se concentre sur une petite sélection de ces photographies. Avec des textes de Maximilian Stejskal, Marie-Isabel Vogel et Alain Rappaport en anglais et suédois. Marie-Isabel Vogel et Alain Rappaport sont des artistes et scénographes basés à Zurich.

Abstract

The metropolis has been the near exclusive focus of queer scholars and queer cultures in America. Asking us to look beyond the cities on the coasts, Scott Herring draws a new map, tracking how rural queers have responded to this myopic mindset. Interweaving a wide range of disciplines—art, media, literature, performance, and fashion studies—he develops an extended critique of how metronormativity saturates LGBTQ politics, artwork, and criticism. To counter this ideal, he offers a vibrant theory of queer anti-urbanism that refuses to dismiss the rural as a cultural backwater.Impassioned and provocative, Another Country expands the possibilities of queer studies beyond its city limits. Herring leads his readers from faeries in the rural Midwest to photographs of white supremacists in the deep South, from Roland Barthes’s obsession with Parisian fashion to a graphic memoir by Alison Bechdel set in the Appalachian Mountains, and from cubist paintings in Lancaster County to lesbian separatist communes on the northern California coast. The result is an entirely original account of how queer studies can—and should—get to another country.

Abstract

Choice Outstanding Academic Title of 2016Rural queer experience is often hidden or ignored, and presumed to be alienating, lacking, and incomplete without connections to a gay culture that exists in an urban elsewhere. Queering the Countryside offers the first comprehensive look at queer desires found in rural America from a genuinely multi-disciplinary perspective. This collection of original essays confronts the assumption that queer desires depend upon urban life for meaning.By considering rural queer life, the contributors challenge readers to explore queer experiences in ways that give greater context and texture to modern practices of identity formation. The book’s focus on understudied rural spaces throws into relief the overemphasis of urban locations and structures in the current political and theoretical work on queer sexualities and genders. Queering the Countryside highlights the need to rethink notions of “the closet” and “coming out” and the characterizations of non-urban sexualities and genders as “isolated” and in need of “outreach.” Contributors focus on a range of topics—some obvious, some delightfully unexpected—from the legacy of Matthew Shepard, to how heterosexuality is reproduced at the 4-H Club, to a look at sexual encounters at a truck stop, to a queer reading of TheWizard of Oz.A journey into an unexplored slice of life in rural America, Queering the Countryside offers a unique perspective on queer experience in the modern United States and Canada.
