N2  - This title argues for the importance of a strain of modernist formalism based in ekphrasis, the literary imitation of the visual arts. Often associated with a conservative aesthetic of wholeness, permanence, and autonomy, ekphrastic writing nonetheless also involves excess, failure, and mimesis, conjuring an aesthetic sense of closure and unity out of impossible imitations. This book suggests that this particular interplay between imitation and autonomy resonates with many of the foundational insights of queer theory: the way it situates identity as an effect of performativity, artifice, and mimesis.
