Book excerpt: Acclaimed author Alex Espinoza takes readers on an uncensored journey through the underground, to reveal the timeless art of cruising. Combining historical research and oral history with his own personal experience, Espinoza examines the political and cultural forces behind this radical pastime. From Greek antiquity to the notorious Molly houses of 18th century England, the raucous 1970s to the algorithms of Grindr, Oscar Wilde to George Michael, cruising remains at once a reclamation of public space and the creation of its own unique locale―one in which men of all races and classes interact, even in the shadow of repressive governments

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1970s, Manhattan’s west side waterfront was a forgotten zone of abandoned warehouses and piers. Though many saw only blight, the derelict neighborhood was alive with queer people forging new intimacies through cruising. Alongside the piers’ sexual and social worlds, artists produced work attesting to the radical transformations taking place in New York. Artist and writer David Wojnarowicz was right in the heart of it, documenting his experiences in journal entries, poems, photographs, films, and large-scale, site-specific projects. In Cruising the Dead River, Fiona Anderson draws on Wojnarowicz’s work to explore the key role the abandoned landscape played in this explosion of queer culture. Anderson examines how the riverfront’s ruined buildings assumed a powerful erotic role and gave the area a distinct identity. By telling the story of the piers as gentrification swept New York and before the AIDS crisis, Anderson unearths the buried histories of violence, regeneration, and LGBTQ activism that developed in and around the cruising scene.

Download or read book Cruising Utopia written by José Esteban Muñoz and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The LGBT agenda for too long has been dominated by pragmatic issues like same-sex marriage and gays in the military. It has been stifled by this myopic focus on the present, which is short-sighted and assimilationist. Cruising Utopia seeks to break the present stagnancy by cruising ahead. Drawing on the work of Ernst Bloch, José Esteban Muñoz recalls the queer past for guidance in presaging its future. He considers the work of seminal artists and writers such as Andy Warhol, LeRoi Jones, Frank O’Hara, Ray Johnson, Fred Herko, Samuel Delany, and Elizabeth Bishop, alongside contemporary performance and visual artists like Dynasty Handbag, My Barbarian, Luke Dowd, Tony Just, and Kevin McCarty in order to decipher the anticipatory illumination of art and its uncanny ability to open windows to the future. In a startling repudiation of what the LGBT movement has held dear, Muñoz contends that queerness is instead a futurity bound phenomenon, a "not yet here" that critically engages pragmatic presentism. Part manifesto, part love-letter to the past and the future, Cruising Utopia argues that the here and now are not enough and issues an urgent call for the revivification of the queer political imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a cruise is an adventure into an unequalled world of luxury and design, not just a trip across the ocean. Cruise ships have evolved from being thought of as floating transit hubs to elegant, cutting-edge floating mansions. In the pages that follow, we will delve into the intriguing realm of cruise interior design and take you on a carefully planned journey through the creativity and craftsmanship that bring the onboard experience to new and amazing heights. Cruise interior design is a concept that harmonically combines form and function, allowing aesthetics to coexist peacefully with the practicalities of living at sea. This introduction opens the door to a world where every element, from the spacious atrium to the cozy staterooms, has been painstakingly chosen to exude luxury, coziness, and refinement. The way that cruise cabin design has changed throughout time has reflected changes in passenger expectations. Modern cruisers want an immersive experience that stimulates their senses and takes them to worlds of beauty and indulgence; they are no longer satisfied with simple utility. Cruise interior designers create a genuinely remarkable experience by carefully choosing materials, arranging light and space, and incorporating ecological methods. We will explore the complexities of designing cruise ship interiors and learn the stories behind the expansive atriums that act as the centrepiece of the ship, creating a visual symphony that sets the mood for the whole nautical experience. The atrium becomes a microcosm of the ship's personality, a precursor to the marvels that await on the decks above, from the choice of opulent materials to the thoughtful arrangement of seating places. Throughout the journey, the cabins and suites serve as our heavens, where guests may unwind in luxury and style. Here, designers have to balance making the most of the available space with providing passengers with the opulent experience they want. Cabins are designed to be both useful and aesthetically pleasing, with luxurious bedding, creative storage options, and stunning views of the constantly shifting seascape, creating peaceful retreats. Dining establishments are the focal point of a cruise's gastronomic story. Every place has a distinct tale to tell, from elegant fine dining venues that equal the sophistication of exclusive land-based restaurants to laid-back settings meant for carefree al fresco pleasures. The intricate details of these spaces, including as colour schemes, lighting designs, and furniture choices, 4 showcase the creativity of cruise interior design and work together to create an atmosphere that is a perfect match for the wide range of gastronomic options. A creative canvas is provided by entertainment places, which are the theatres and lounges where travellers enjoy the enchantment of live acts. Designers work in tandem with specialists in set design, lighting, and acoustics to turn these areas into magical theatres. The end effect is an engrossing journey that immerses visitors in an opulent theatrical setting. Common areas are similarly important to the story of cruise interior design as they are places where passengers congregate for socializing and relaxation. Lounges, gaming rooms, and libraries are designed to offer a variety of opportunities for unwinding and socializing. The goal is to establish social hubs that accommodate the many inclinations and appetites of the ship's multicultural patrons. Furthermore, cruise interior designers are using eco-friendly techniques as the necessity of sustainability becomes more widely recognized. The next sections will explore the eco-friendly projects that are influencing cruise interior design in the future. Recycled materials, energy-saving technologies, and a dedication to ethical sourcing all help to create a more sustainable and greener marine experience. We encourage you to embark on a visual and conversational trip with us as we explore the fascinating world of ship interior design. Discover the luxury and creativity that characterize contemporary cruise ships, and observe how practicality and design come together to create floating works of art. I hope this tour stimulates your senses and helps you to appreciate the creativity that these nautical wonders' painstakingly designed interiors have. Good luck on your journey!

Book excerpt: The book that was the basis for the hit film by the same title starring Al Pacino. The killer makes love to women. But only the feel of his knife into a man’s body can satisfy him. The rookie enters the killer’s nightworld as decoy. Becomes the killer’s prey... and then the victim of his own violent, tortured mind. Two men will stalk Manhattan’s shadowed streets, bars, parks, places where men meet men. Both hurting. Both obsessed. Lured closer and closer to each other. Across the line between cop and killer. Into the terror of homicidal compulsion.

Book excerpt: Cruising has always been a part of gay culture; the word itself is a code, innocuous to outsiders, but representing an incognito hunt for sexual partners to those in the know. With an oblique focus on hidden clearings, tree-lined car parks and the well-trodden paths where these encounters occur, States gradually began to include the men far off in the distance within his leafy outdoor settings. The viewer is invited in as voyeur to an encounter that straddles public and private, whilst simultaneously drawn into a game of spotting what exactly goes on behind the foliage.

Book excerpt: "A look at the story of cruising, this book documents a whole range of onboard experiences from the interwar heyday of liner transport right through to the present age of the ship as 'floating city'. With the aid of rare archive material as well as new photography, the authors examine all aspects of international cruising - with its many national variations - both elegant and restrained, kitsch and excessive." "Cruise shows how onboard culture has evolved over the decades to suit the changing needs of the cruise lines and their passengers. It is a study of interior and exterior design, of onboard entertainment, food and changes in the dining experience, of corporate identity, ephemera and graphics. Packed with illustrations, Cruise celebrates over a century of passenger seafaring and will appeal to anyone who has travelled the high seas, or who yearns to do so."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Tearoom Trade written by Laud Humphreys and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time of its first publication, 'Tearoom Trade' engendered controversy. It was also accorded an unusual amount of praise for a first book on a marginal, intentionally self-effacing population by a previously unknown sociologist. The book was quickly recognized as an important, imaginative, and useful contribution to our understanding of "deviant" sexual activity. Describing impersonal, anonymous sexual encounters in public restrooms—"tearooms" in the argot—the book explored the behavior of men whose closet homosexuality was kept from their families and neighbors. By posing as an initiate, the author was able to engage in systematic observation of homosexual acts in public settings, and later to develop a more complete picture of those involved by interviewing them in their homes, again without revealing their unwitting participation in his study. This enlarged edition of 'Tearoom Trade' includes the original text, together with a retrospect, written by Nicholas von Hoffman, Irving Louis Horowitz, Lee Rainwater, Donald P. Warwick, and Myron Glazer. The material added includes a perspective on the social scientist at work and the ethical problems to which that work may give rise, along with debate by the book's initial critics and proponents. Humphreys added a postscript and his views on the opinion expressed in the retrospect.
