Much of Jarman\u0026amp;#x27;s exploration of post-war queer identity and imaginative response to HIV\/AIDS can be found in his books, such as the lyrical AIDS diaries \u003ci\u003eModern Nature \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSmiling in Slow Motion\u003c\/i\u003e. This book fully explores, for the first time, the remarkable range and depth of Jarman's writing. Spanning his career, Alexandra Parsons argues that Jarman's self-reflexive response to the HIV\/AIDS crisis was critical in changing the cultural terms of queer representation from the 1980s onwards. \u003ci\u003eLuminous presence\u003c\/i\u003e is of great interest to students, scholars and readers of queer histories in literature, art and film.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920548970654,"sku":"ING-9781526171573","price":56.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526171573.jpg?v=1782823523","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526171573","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
