Unsuitable for Children? Adult-erated Age in Underground Graphic Narratives

American Literature 90.2 (June 2018)

This article explores expressions of eroto-abject desire in two collaborative graphic narratives:... more This article explores expressions of eroto-abject desire in two collaborative graphic narratives: Kathy Acker, Diane DiMassa, and Freddie Baer's Pussycat Fever (1995) and David Wojnarowicz, James Romberger, and Marguerite Van Cook's 7 Miles a Second (1996). Reflecting the resistance to heteronormative logics of age categorization, "adult-erated age" names the ways that childhoods in the texts are adult oriented but also characterizes how they, in their respective contexts, revise and reflect notions of impurity and being worsened as singularly queer ways of being and representing. This is accomplished by turning to traumatic memory and ill embodiment via graphic textual form.

Written by emerging academics, community-based writers, and senior scholars, each essay in this special issue, ''Postposttranssexual: Key Concepts for a Twenty-First-Century Transgender Studies,'' revolves around a particular keyword or concept. Some contributions focus on a concept central to transgender studies; others describe a term of art from another discipline or interdisciplinary area and show how it might relate to transgender studies. While far from providing a complete picture of the field, these keywords begin to elucidate a conceptual vocabulary for transgender studies. Some of the submissions offer a deep and resilient resistance to the entire project of mapping the field terminologically; some reveal yet-unrealized critical potentials for the field; some take existing terms from canonical thinkers and develop the significance for transgender studies; some offer overviews of well-known methodologies and demonstrate their applicability within transgender studies; some suggest how transgender issues play out in various fields; and some map the productive tensions between trans studies and other interdisciplines.

Review of James Penner's Pinks, Pansies, and Punks: The Rhetoric of Masculinity in American Literary Culture

Twentieth-Century Literature 58.4 Spring 2013

It now goes without saying that studies of American literary culture should attend to gender, and... more It now goes without saying that studies of American literary culture should attend to gender, and that masculinity has a particularly vexed relationship to American identity. Embedded in the modern cultural imaginary are steadfast images of normative male identities that have perpetuated and reinforced the rugged masculinity and illusion of impenetrability that define the U.S. in particular and the West in general. Yet, too often in histories of literature, its authors, and its associated cultural milieus, critics give cursory treatment to-or even outright ignore-how prevailing impressions of the writers' bodies themselves have shaped the way literary works have been understood in the context of dominant political ideologies of gender. In his comprehensive study of the gendered contours of American cultural production, Pinks, Pansies and Punks: The Rhetoric of Masculinity in American Literary Culture, James Penner calls attention to this critical blind spot and, in response, emphasizes the importance of locating how constructions of masculinity, perceptions of the male body, and ethnic, racial, and sexual differences have informed the work of male authors. For instance, in a complex discussion of the tensions between the Old Left and the 1960s countercultural movement, Penner moves "beyond the traditional interpretation by foregrounding gender concerns and specifically [focuses] on how generational attitudes about maleness dramatically collide and how the so-called lifestyle differences are a reflection of opposing masculine sensibilities" (164). Penner's study thus offers a new direction in scholarship about the ways that the bodies of writers are reflected in and through their work. In Penner's own words, his book demonstrates how "the American literary text is indelibly marked by the body type that produces it" (8).
