Description
Ann Cvetkovich's groundbreaking work challenges the traditional understanding of trauma, arguing that the experiences of women and queers have been overlooked in the field. By examining the intersection of trauma, sexuality, and public culture, Cvetkovich develops a sex-positive approach that seeks to understand the complexities of trauma beyond the confines of medical and clinical discourse. This book brings together a diverse range of oral histories, literary readings, videos, and performances to explore the connections between activism, performance, and literature in the creation of lesbian public cultures. By examining the ways in which trauma is transformed through cultural archives and political communities, Cvetkovich sheds new light on the experiences of women and queers. Through its innovative approach, An Archive of Feelings offers a new understanding of trauma and its relationship to public culture, one that prioritizes the experiences of those who have been pushed to the periphery of trauma culture.
