Download or read book Peacocks Chameleons Centaurs written by Wayne Brekhus and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be a gay man living in the suburbs? Do you identify primarily as gay, or suburban, or some combination of the two? For that matter, how does anyone decide what his or her identity is? In this first-ever ethnography of American gay suburbanites, Wayne H. Brekhus demonstrates that who one is depends at least in part on where and when one is. For many urban gay men, being homosexual is key to their identity because they live, work, and socialize in almost exclusively gay circles. Brekhus calls such men "lifestylers" or peacocks. Chameleons or "commuters," on the other hand, live and work in conventional suburban settings, but lead intense gay social and sexual lives outside the suburbs. Centaurs, meanwhile, or "integrators," mix typical suburban jobs and homes with low-key gay social and sexual activities. In other words, lifestylers see homosexuality as something you are, commuters as something you do, and integrators as part of yourself. Ultimately, Brekhus shows that lifestyling, commuting, and integrating embody competing identity strategies that occur not only among gay men but across a broad range of social categories. What results, then, is an innovative work that will interest sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists, and students of gay culture.

Download or read book Cooper the Colorful Chameleon written by Denise Combellick and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2022-10-30 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chameleon’s skin has two layers. The top layer contains pigments (pink, blue, red, orange, green, black, brown, light blue, yellow, turquoise, purple), and the bottom layer contains guanine crystals. They are able to change colors by changing the space between these layers, which changes the wavelength of light reflected off the crystals and the color of the skin (kind of like a rainbow). Color change functions as camouflage to protect chameleons from predators such as birds or snakes. They change their color to blend in to avoid observation. They can change both their color and their patterns to resemble their surroundings or disrupt the outline of their bodies and remain hidden from sight. If detected, chameleons actively defend themselves. They adopt defensive body posture, try to appear larger, and warn with an open mouth. They will kick and bite and sometimes vocalize during their threat displays. Their color changes are also used in social signaling. These color changes signal their intentions to other chameleons. They show brighter colors when displaying aggression and darker colors when they give up. It is how they communicate.
