In Ethereal Queer, Amy Villarejo offers a historically engaged,
theoretically sophisticated, and often personal account of how TV
representations of queer life have changed as the medium has
evolved since the 1950s. Challenging the widespread view that LGBT
characters did not make a sustained appearance on television until
the 1980s, she draws on innovative readings of TV shows and network
archives to reveal queer television’s lengthy, rich, and varied
history. Villarejo goes beyond concerns about representational
accuracy. She tracks how changing depictions of queer life, in
programs from Our Miss Brooks to The L Word, relate to
transformations in business models and technologies, including
modes of delivery and reception such as cable, digital video
recording, and online streaming. In so doing, she provides a bold
new way to understand the history of television.
