An extensive critical study of cinematic representations of Irish
queer masculinitiesIn recent years queer identities have become
increasingly visible in Irish cinema, a shift that can be linked to
political, economic and social changes taking place both in Ireland
and around the world, as well as to changes in national film policy
to cater more to international audiences. 'Irish Queer Cinema'
explores the sexual politics and socio-economic conditions that
have determined the shape and evolution of these representations
whilst interrogating the relationship between on-screen visibility
and progressive sexual politics. Drawing together 23 films as
depictive of an Irish queer cinema, including 'Clash of the Ash,
The Crying Game' and 'Me First', the book investigates the
different ways gender and sexuality intersect with nationhood and
national forms of belonging, and explores the role of queerness
within the constitution of an Irish national culture.Key
FeaturesDevelops innovative spatial models of queer sociality as
frameworks for analysing Irish filmsProvides readings of cinematic
space to assess the impact of socio-economic change on Irish
identity politics and patterns of cultural representationUses queer
theory to explore the relationship between Irish nationalist
discourses, LGBTQ politics in Ireland and the increasing visibility
of Irish queer identities on-screen
