Critical Queer Studies examines contemporary films and
documentaries that dramatize the intersection of law and queer
life, analyzing the effects of legal doctrines-jury selection,
unwanted sexual advance, negligence, hate crimes, and gay
marriage-on the production and reception of queer film and fiction.
Exploring the interaction of these discourses by discussing
internationally-known American films, the book demonstrates how the
law maintains its hold over the queer subject through promoting
certain ideological fictions and conversely how film and literature
draw upon the material realities of queer legal status to dramatize
conflicts between law and the marginalized subject. Critical Queer
Studies synthesizes queer studies, law and literature, and film
studies, engaging these fields to show how the struggle for gay and
lesbian rights has influenced the production of film and fiction.
