The impressionistic account, based on the aestheticism of Walter Pater, focuses on significant gestures made by Nijinsky in key roles, including the Golden Slave, the Specter of the Rose, Narcissus, Petrouchka, and the Faun. The analysis of his reception, based on the semiotics of Roland Barthes, is deconstructive. And the exploration of the the analytical limitations sets the stage for cultural studies that move beyond Barthesian semiotics beyond, that is, the author s last two books. Why, given that most of his followers were not gay, describe Nijinsky s queer afterlife? The author s answer is that Nijinsky was the Lord Alfred Douglas of the Ballet Russes. The dancer, however, had even more lilac-hued notoriety than Douglas notoriety based upon common knowledge of his sexual relationship with Serge Diaghilev, upon his having been one of the first sensuous young men to dominate a Western stage recently riven by the homosexual\/heterosexual division we are still contending with today, and upon his mastery of leading roles and body languages that had very little to do with conventional masculinity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49614909538577,"sku":"GOR010212689","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804729506.jpg?v=1751043677"},{"product_id":"beethoven-s-kiss-book-kevin-kopelson-9780804725989","title":"Beethoven's Kiss","description":"In Beethoven's Kiss, Kevin Kopelson takes you on a journey through a unique literary style which is both scholarly and meditative. It interweaves the issues of gender, sexuality and erotic romanticism and presents them against the backdrop of romantic pianism. Exploring quasi-sexual myths of the nineteenth century, Beethoven's Kiss takes a long look at the origin and consequences of those myths.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50361971540241,"sku":"CIN0804725985G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51438366753041,"sku":"GOR006431245","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52738164490513,"sku":"NIN9780804725989","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804725985.jpg?v=1757414401"},{"product_id":"confessions-of-a-plagiarist-and-other-tales-from-school-book-kevin-kopelson-9781933996301","title":"Confessions of a Plagiarist: And Other Tales from School","description":"Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. In college, Kevin Kopelson passed off a paper by his older brother Robert as his own. In graduate school, he plagiarized nearly an entire article from a respected scholar, and then later, having met her and been asked if he would send something for her to read, sent that essay he had plagiarized from her work. This is not to mention the many instances in which he quoted others extensively, not passing their work off as his own, but substituting it for his own words when his words were what were called for. Until recently, such plagiarisms and thefts had been his most shameful secret, shared only with a trusted few. But then Kopelson--now an English professor and the author of a number of respected books, most recently 2007's \u003cem\u003eSedaris\u003c\/em\u003e--wrote an essay entitled My Cortez, which was published in the \u003cem\u003eLondon Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e in 2008. It was a satirical literary confession, an exploration of Kopelson's personal and professional life via his various acts of plagiarism. From that jumping off point and exploring also his other vices, CONFESIONS OF A PLAGIARIST is the compelling and clever retelling (not to mention renovation) of Kopelson's life, one transgression at a time.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50401379352849,"sku":"CIN1933996307G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1933996307.jpg?v=1750932701"},{"product_id":"queer-afterlife-of-vaslav-nijinsky-book-kevin-kopelson-9780804729499","title":"The Queer Afterlife of Vaslav Nijinsky","description":"This is three books in one: an impressionistic account (based on the aestheticism of Walter Pater) of the dancer's homoerotic career, a deconstructive analysis of his gay male reception (drawn from the semiotics of Roland Barthes), and an exploration of the limitations of that analysis.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53014010167569,"sku":"NIN9780804729499","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780804729499.jpg?v=1768142859"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-kevin-kopelson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
