Cool Moves

The lead article in this journal is an examination of the brittle cultural logic of "cool," tracing its movement from being a particular style of hedonistic disaffiliation to its current status as the epitome of style itself. Questions of style and consumption, politics and ethics are also discussed. Topics include the invention of everyday life, the cultural phenomenology of skin, the art of smoking, "black" music and multiracial audiences, and nomadic ethics for minoritarian communities. The collection also includes a new translation of Guy Hocquenghem's classic essay on gay politics, "On Homo-sex, or Is Homosexuality A Curable Vice?"Glover, David is the author of 'Cool Moves' with ISBN 9780853159087 and ISBN 0853159084.
