Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick was an American academic scholar in the fields of
gender studies, queer theory and critical theory. Her critical writings helped

issues, including queer performativity and experimental critical writing. Her
work may be best suited to readers who can cope with, make up their own minds

Susan Sontag was an American writer and filmmaker, professor,
literary icon, and political activist. Beginning with the publication of her
1964 essay "Notes on 'Camp', Sontag became an international cultural and
intellectual celebrity. Sontag wrote frequently about the intersection of high and
low art and expanded the dichotomy concept of form and art in every media. She
elevated camp to the status of recognition with her widely read essay ”Notes on
'Camp”, which accepted art as including common, absurd and burlesque themes. It
expounded the "so bad it's good" concept of popular culture for the
first time.
