EVEN IN ANOTHER TIME: REINSERTING QUEER STORIES INTO HISTORY THROUGH ART
2025, Honors Thesis for the Honors Program at Emerson College
Abstract: There is no bloodline to queerness. Queer history has not been included in official archives, therefore artists must mend the holes in the tapestry of history. Throughout this thesis, I examine how artists in the fields of literature, theater, and film reinsert queer stories into history, specifically examining Orlando by Virginia Woolf, Cowbois by Charlie Josephine, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire by Céline Sciamma. These artists imbue their work with positive affect, but do not undermine the traumas of history in their pursuit of telling stories of queer joy, pleasure, and hope.
