Utopian Contemporaries. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Feb 2009, Pages: 124
UTOPIAN CONTEMPORARIES proposes an alternative
framework for the
study of American culture. Renouncing the
reproductive cycles of the
American futurist regime, this book emphasizes the
critical temporality
of the queer now and analyzes its potential to make
manifest
alternative economies of memory and forgetting.
American Studies
scholar Leopold Lippert demonstrates that the
seemingly futureless
present may function as a performative rehearsal
space in which
heteronormative lines of belonging, kinship, and
citizenship are
redrawn. This study is aimed at students and scholars
in the fields of
American Studies, Performance Studies, and Queer Theory.
