| Summary: |
Thefirst book-length analysis of same-sexuality and consumer capitalism in contemporary USfiction.Moving beyond the critical tendencies to identify gay and lesbian subcultures as either hopelessly immersed in consumer capitalism or heroically resistant to it. <p>'Part of a recently renewed queer critical interest in capitalism and commodity cultures, "Queer Commodities" repurposes the concept of the subcultural in order to make clear that commodification is the ambivalent heart of our most cherished queer collectivities. Davidson is as punchy and compelling as the clutch of contemporary American queer fiction on which he draws.' - Annamarie Jagose, author of "Inconsequence: Lesbian Representation and the Logic of Sexual Sequence". |
