Acknowledgments
No work of complexity is created in a vacuum. The following document was made possible by the support of a number of people. Foremost among them is my partner, Peter Howells, whose love and support has been invaluable. I also owe a debt of gratitude to Sue LeSeure who, over oceans of sushi, helped me to both better articulate my more lucid ideas and "wrestle to the ground" the more Sedgwickian ones. I must also thank my thesis committee; my first reader and friend, Jim Brogan, whose light-touched approach to my work has allowed me to follow my academic interests; and Talia Schaffer, whose suggested readings not only strongly shaped the thesis of this document but also how I view the field of gay and lesbian studies and queer theory. Finally, I would like to acknowledge Paul Buzzell, whose friendship and scholarship has enriched both my personal and graduate experiences.
