Working Like a Homosexual by Matthew Tinkcom
What does camp have to do with capitalism? How have queer men created a philosophy of commodity culture? This book responds to these questions by arguing that post-World War II gay male subcultures have fostered their own ways not only of consuming mass culture but of producing it as well. It is suitable for students of cinema, and queer studies.-

“A brilliant, innovative study of camp that exceeds the terms in which this topic traditionally has been conceivedThe result is a reformulation of camp as queer industrial labor, from the perspective of the production as well as the reception of that work. Anyone working on camp will hereafter have to reckon with this book.”-Steven Cohan, author of Masked Men: Masculinity and the Movies in the Fifties
