About
the Book:
HARD TO FIND BOOK, only a very limited
number of copies are still available.
Both a critique of contemporary
film and video and an urgent examination of larger issues of
representation, How Do I Look?
is an invaluable contribution to gay and lesbian studies. Paying
homage to Vito Russo's
The Celluloid Closet,
these six original essays
lead us to rethink what constitutes queer vision and visibility.
What people say:
"How Do I Look?
is an articulation of that dream in the dark we've all had-gazing at
those flickering images, searching for ourselves and too often
settling for less. This collection begins to ask the provocative
questions we dared not ask aloud. As lesbians and gays, as people of
color, whose vision will we accept? The questions here are full of
pain and clarity." — Jewelle
Gomez
"This
unflinching and exhilarating collection of essays offers a wealth of
theories and speculation around issues of sexual and racial identity
and identification, homoeroticism, the rhetoric of victimization and
its historical precedents, control of images, and more. An invaluable
contribution to cultural criticism."
— Yvonne
Rainer
"Not
afraid to be intellectually or politically challenging,
this collection of articles and discussions is at once thoughtful and
urgent, reflective and immediate. It will be of value to all who make
images, whether that be in the camera or as viewers."
— Richard
Dyer
