| Summary: | Kel Karpinski explores queerness and the complexity of sexuality among sailors in the U.S. Navy. The first issue includes quotes from Steven Zeeland's book Sailors and Sexual Identity: Crossing the Line Between "Straight" and "Gay" in the U.S. Navy, Idra Novey's Ways to Disappear, and The Motion of Light In Water by Samuel R. Delaney. There is nudity in some photos and on the cover. Issue 2 contains a list of films about sailors with an analysis about the queer subtext; some of the movies are On the Town (1949), Top Gun (1986), Hail, Caesar (2016), and Anchors Aweigh (1945). Both issues include black and white screenshots from these films and various media, such as photo booth pictures, magazine covers and military recruitment posters. |
