Inhalt
The author applies an overtly interdisciplinary interpretation to a subject that demands such a breakdown of intellectual boundaries. In a kind of ethnography the book documents the folk nature of popular culture. »The Circuit«, an expression of gay culture, comprises large dance events (gatherings, celebrations, communions, festivals). Music and dance drive a complex, shared performance at these events?electronic house music played by professional DJs and mass ecstatic dancing that engenders a sense of community. Other types of performance, from drag queens and concerts to contests, theatrics, and the individual display of muscular bodies also occur. Body sculpting through muscle building is strongly associated with the Circuit, and masculine aggression is both displayed and parodied.
