- Cruising the Dead River is one of the first studies of the cruising scene on New York’s abandoned waterfront in the1970s. Supported by extensive archival research and interviews, it presents a sustained and detailed interdisciplinary analysis of David Wojnarowicz’s waterfront work, as well as that of a number of his contemporaries, and explores the connections between various art scenes, gay cruising cultures, and queer activism in New York before the AIDS crisis. It advances an innovative queer methodological position, arguing for cruising as a new way of thinking and writing about the practice of queer cultural production and art history.
