![]() ![]() ![]() It is not something which is simply lost, it can be found again. By representing a loss of innocence as “perpetually recurring,” Baldwin frames innocence itself as repetitive. I will be examining the factors which traditionally are figured oppositionally to innocence: shame, guilt, knowledge and desire. The queerness of it comes from its refusal to remain tied to childhood, to the past. I am investigating a “queer innocence” which I read through Baldwin's novel Giovanni's Room. ![]()
