"...the camp sensation is produced by our own joy in having discovered the object, in having been chosen, solicited, by it. Experiencing the camp glow is a way of reversing one's abjection, and, by witnessing the depletion of cultural monuments, experiencing one's own power to fill degraded artifacts to the brim with meanings."
-- Wayne Koestenbaum, The Queen's Throat
