DESCRIPTION:Gay bars have operated as the most visible institutions of the 
 LGBTQ+ public life in the United States for the better part of a century\,
  from before gay liberation until after their assumed obsolescence. In The
  Bars Are Ours (Duke University Press\, 2023) Lucas Hilderbrand offers a p
 anoramic history of gay bars\, showing how they served as the medium for q
 ueer communities\, politics\, and cultures. This talk will focus on the vi
 sual culture—advertisements\, artworks\, and ephemera—of gay bars and 
 the archival research methods that undergird this historiography. These ma
 terial traces present queer kinds of evidence of the fantasy images that b
 ars constructed for their patrons and publics. \n\nLucas Hilderbrand is Pr
 ofessor and Chair of Film and Media Studies at the University of Californi
 a\, Irvine. He is the author of The Bars Are Ours: Histories and Cultures 
 of Gay Bars in America\, 1960 and After\; Paris Is Burning: A Queer Film C
 lassic\; and Inherent Vice: Bootleg Histories of Videotape and Copyright.
