Performance Issue(s): Happening, Body, Spectacle, Virtual Reality Discourse 14.2, Spring 1992 This issue moves, not exactly in sequence, from a retrospective on the happening out of the scene of action painting to the situationist critique of ‘the society of the spectacle’ to the extremities of performance in body art and autodestruction, including the aesthetics of paroxysm among the Viennese actionists, to the voice with no body of radiophonic art to redeployment of the body through the logic of computer programming to the projection of a ‘virtual reality’ on the edge of cyberspace.

Flaunting It: Essays in Lesbian and Gay Studies Discourse 15.1, Fall 1992 As a new generation of lesbian and gay scholars begins to question the parameters of academic discourse, re-imaging bodies, identities, and sexualities, new voices are emerging to challenge the limits and possibilities of institutional debate. This collection of essays-drawn from papers first presented at a conference at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukeetraverses the landscape of lesbian and gay studies, invoking subjects and meanings as diverse as pornography, lesbian mystery novels, AIDS, reform school romance, (il)legal sexualities, camp, muscle magazines, and gender ambiguity to demonstrate the ways in which theorists and practitioners of sexual difference are queering the academy.
