Ryan Murphy is a self-described "gay boy from Indiana," who has
grown up to forge a media empire. With an extraordinary list of
credits and successful television shows, movies, and documentaries
to his name, Murphy can now boast one of the broadest and most
successful careers in Hollywood. Serving as writer, producer, and
director, his creative output includes limited-run dramas (such as
Feud, Ratched, and Halston), procedural dramas (such as 9-1-1 and
9-1-1 Lonestar), anthology series (such as American Crime Story,
American Horror Story, and American Horror Stories), sit-coms (such
as The New Normal) and long-running serial narratives (such as
Glee, Nip/Tuck, and Pose). Each of these is infused in different
ways with a distinctive form of queer energy and erotics, animating
their narratives with both campy excess and poignant longing and
giving new meaning to the American story. This collection takes up
Murphy as auteur and showrunner, considering the gendered and
sexual politics of Murphy's wide body of work. Using an
intersectional framework throughout, an impressive list of
well-known and emerging scholars engages with Murphy's diverse
output, while also making the case for Murphy's version of a queer
sensibility, a revised notion of queer time, cultural memory, and
the contributions his own production company makes to a politics of
LGBTQ+ representation and evolving gender identities. This book is
suitable for students of Gender and Media, LGBTQ+ Studies, Media
Studies, and Communication Studies.
