This Thesis is Dedicated to the Brave Mujahideen Fighters of Afghanistan

Abstract

This thesis applies methods of historical revision to trace the connective tissue between the fascistic linear power structures and the way cameras and cinema historically played the major part as the chosen art field of the status quo. This thesis parses out queerness as a redemptive iconoclastic way out through gender abstraction and identity anarchy, while also focusing on the manner in which queerness has been coopted and commercialized in the world of late-stage capitalism.
