Description
A Badge of Injury features new trends of intellectual history and traces the visual and conceptual history of the Pink Triangle as the multi-layered symbol and multi-temporal aesthetic of a presumed international queer subculture. The book underlines how oppression was reinterpreted and appropriated by social movements on both sides of the Atlantic. Following the journey of the Pink Triangle and its many iterations, it is possible not only to identify global entanglements, but pinpoint the roles of cultural memory and power in the creation of queer international narratives: focus on pride, political integration to the liberal script, etc. Beyond a success story, A Badge of Injury dives into some of the shortcomings of Euro-American queer history and the power of the negative, writing an emancipatory yet critical story of victimhood. Provincializing Euro-American queer history, the book illustrates how a global history of concepts which encompasses the visual offers a greater depth of analysis of the transfer of ideas across regions than texts alone would offer.
