{"product_id":"9780814744673","title":"Love and Money: Queers, Class, and Cultural Production","description":"\u003cem\u003eLove and Money\u003c\/em\u003e argues that we can’t understand contemporary  queer cultures without looking through the lens of social class.  Resisting old divisions between culture and economy, identity and  privilege, left and queer, recognition and redistribution, \u003cem\u003eLove and Money \u003c\/em\u003eoffers supple approaches to capturing class experience and class form in and around queerness.  Contrary to familiar dismissals, not every queer television or movie character is like Will Truman on \u003cem\u003eWill and Grace\u003c\/em\u003e—rich,  white, healthy, professional, detached from politics, community, and  sex. Through ethnographic encounters with readers and cultural producers  and such texts as \u003cem\u003eBoys Don’t Cry\u003c\/em\u003e,\u003cem\u003e Brokeback Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBy Hook or By Crook\u003c\/em\u003e, and wedding announcements in the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLove and Money \u003c\/em\u003esees  both queerness and class across a range of idioms and practices in  everyday life. How, it asks, do readers of Dorothy Allison’s novels use  her work to find a queer class voice? How do gender and race broker  queer class fantasy? How do independent filmmakers cross back and forth  between industry and queer sectors, changing both places as they go and  challenging queer ideas about bad commerce and bad taste? With  an eye to the nuances and harms of class difference in queerness and a  wish to use culture to forge queer and class affinities,\u003cem\u003e Love and Money\u003c\/em\u003e  returns class and its politics to the study of queer life.","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069067215088,"sku":"9780814744673","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780814744673_p0.jpg?v=1763740665","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780814744673","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
