Deep Sniff
Is there a “queer soul” lurking beneath the multiplicitous names that we give to nonnormative sexual and gender identities—and what if that “soul” could be released with the aid of a little brown bottle? This provocative question is at the heart of Adam Zmith's Deep Sniff: A History of Poppers and Queer Futures, a highly readable and playfully digressive blend of queer history, material culture studies, and personal reflection. Amyl nitrite (and …
History gone soft
Adapted (without permission) from Kenneth Anger's notorious book about early Hollywood scandals, the 1972 sexploitation version of Hollywood Babylon is a quasi-documentary that alternates between public-domain footage from silent-era films and softcore re-enactments of some of Anger's most lurid anecdotes.

Post-Horror
Pinning Down the Past
Peter Strickland’s film The Duke of Burgundy (2014) presents an all-female world of lepidopterists whose non-monetary economic exchanges consist of mounted butterfly specimens and whose interpersonal exchanges consist of BDSM roleplay. This essay explores how the film represents a thought experiment in reimagining lesbian-feminist history by reconciling divergent strands of feminist and lesbian politics that occupied opposing camps during the per…
