Queer Lyrics

Vincent, J.
Queer Lyrics
Queer Lyrics fills a gap in queer studies: the lyric, as poetic genre, has never been directly addressed by queer theory.

Queer Lyrics considers the place of form in queer theory, while opening new vistas on the poetry o...

Waldrep, C.

By "tearing down" theoretical and analytic fences prevalen...

Napier, S.
Anime from Akira to Princess Mononoke
With the popularity of Pokemon still far from waning, Japanese animation, known as anime to its fans, has a firm hold on American pop culture. However, anime is much more than children's cartoons.

Often dismissed as fanciful entertainment, anime is actually quite adept at portraying important social and cultural issues like alienation, gender inequality, and teenage angst. Thi...
