Queers in (Single-Family) Space [1994]
Writing about the use of public space in America by gay men during the mid-twentieth century George Chauncey writes: ‘There is no queer space; there are only spaces used by queers or put to queer use’. The ‘single-family’ house, as described by the literary critics and queer theorists Michael Moon and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, is testimony to the inventive desperation of ‘proto-queer’ kids trying to carve out a bit of head space, a bit of body space…
Taking a chance on love
Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson’s opera Four Saints in Three Acts (1934) famously combined avant-garde aesthetic practices and elements of popular culture. While commentators routinely note the recurrence of folk- and hymn-tune harmonies and cadences in Thomson’s otherwise resolutely ‘modernist’ music, they have accorded virtually no attention to the jazz-cabaret song, a form of popular music that emerged and established itself artistically and…
Divinity
EKS : This is a dream I had a couple of years ago. I was shopping for clothes for myself at a store that was nominally Bloomingdale's. I was dubious about whether they would have any clothes that would be big enough for me, but a saleswoman said they did, adding that rather than being marked by size numbers, each size-group of clothes was gathered under a graphic symbol: over here, she said, were the clothes that would fit me. Over here referred …
The Portrait and the Book
In our current climate of visual saturation, it may be salutary for students and scholars of American culture to be made more mindful of the peculiar powers of the image, especially the portrait, in the books of the early republic. In The Portrait and the Book, Megan Walsh does a very effective and engaging job of exploring both how different eighteenth-century American visual culture was from what followed it and how vibrant and complexly meanin…
The Weather in Proust
The Weather in Proust gathers pieces written by the eminent critic and theorist Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick in the last decade of her life, as she worked toward a book on Proust. This book takes its title from the first essay, a startlingly original interpretation of Proust. By way of Neoplatonism, Buddhism, and the work of Melanie Klein, Sedgwick establishes the sense of refreshment and surprise that the author of the Recherche affords his readers. Pr…

The Black Swan
Lesbian and gay studies was still in its academic infancy when Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick wrote her long-unpublished essay on James Merrill's long poem "The Book of Ephraim" (1976). Sedgwick's essay focuses on what she sees as the poem's fascinated concern with the administration of punishment and pain by one man on another. Written at least partly as a bid for recognition from a major American poet of the time, the essay can also be understood as an …
The Un-Americans
Cultural study of Cold War film and theater that considers how Jewish assimilation into American culture during the blacklist period was characterized by a demand to be a stoolpigeon, or to become an informer.
The Queer Child, or Growing Sideways in the Twentieth Century
Children are thoroughly, shockingly queer, as Kathryn Bond Stockton explains in The Queer Child, where she examines children's strangeness, even some children's subliminal "gayness," in the twentieth century. Estranging, broadening, darkening forms of children emerge as this book illuminates the child queered by innocence, the child queered by color, the child queered by Freud, the child queered by money, and the grown homosexual metaphorically s…
The Un-Americans
In a bold rethinking of the Hollywood blacklist and McCarthyite America, Joseph Litvak reveals a political regime that did not end with the 1950s or even with the Cold War: a regime of compulsory sycophancy, in which the good citizen is an informer, ready to denounce anyone who will not play the part of the earnest, patriotic American. While many scholars have noted the anti-Semitism underlying the House Un-American Activities Committee's (HUAC's…

Queer/Early/Modern
In Queer/Early/Modern, Carla Freccero, a leading scholar of early modern European studies, argues for a reading practice that accounts for the queerness of temporality, for the way past, present, and future time appear out of sequence and in dialogue in our thinking about history and texts. Freccero takes issue with New Historicist accounts of sexual identity that claim to respect historical proprieties and to derive identity categories from the …

M. de Charlus did not care to go about with M. de Vaugoubert.For the latter, his monocle stuck in his eye, would keep looking round at every passing youth.What was worse, shedding all restraint when he was with M. de Charlus, he adopted a form of speech which the Baron detested.He referred to everything male in the feminine, and, being intensely stupid, imagined this pleasantry to be extremely witty, and was continually in fits of laughter.As at …

Disseminating Whitman
Within 12 years of the first appearance of Leaves of Grass in 1855, Walt Whitman produced three other editions. Michael Moon, interpreting more profoundly than earlier Whitman critics have done, while treating the poet's homosexuality as a cultural and political as well as a biographical fact, shows how Whitman's continual modifications of his work intersect with the representations of male-male desire throughout his writing. What is subjected to…
