Sara Warner is Assistant Professor, Department of Performing and Media Arts, Cornell University.
"Acts of Gaiety is a rollicking ride. Sara Warner revises both
lesbian feminist histories, emphasizing riotous, joyful action
rather than earnest righteousness, and queer theoretical trends,
stressing pleasurable politics over loss and the death drive. And
who wouldn't want to spend the day reading about the Lavender
Menace, Valerie Solanas, the Five Lesbian Brothers, and Hothead
Paisan?"
--Lisa Duggan, New York University--Lisa Duggan, NYU
"Acts of Gaiety is a great read. Filled with excellent research
that sets the various theater productions in context and
accompanied by a compelling historical account of the conjunctions
of riot and revelry in LGBT liberation movements, it will make an
impact on a number of different fields."
--Judith Halberstam, USC --Judith Halberstam, USC
"Acts of Gaiety is a wonderful reframing of the politics of
pleasure, away from self-indulgent negative affects, in
contemporary queer studies."
--Marcie Bianco, Lambda Literary Review--Marcie Bianco "Lambda
Literary" (6/7/2013 12:00:00 AM)
