The unprecedented increase in lesbian representation over the past
two decades has, paradoxically, coincided with queer theory's
radical transformation of the study of sexuality. In Lesbian Cinema
after Queer Theory, Clara Bradbury-Rance argues that this
contradictory context has yielded new kinds of cinematic language
through which to give desire visual form. By offering close
readings of key contemporary films such as Blue Is the Warmest
Colour, Water Lilies and Carol alongside a broader filmography
encompassing over 300 other films released between 1927 and 2018,
the book provokes new ways of understanding a changing field of
representation. Bradbury-Rance resists charting a narrative of
representational progress or shoring up the lesbian's
categorisation in the newly available terms of the visible.
Instead, she argues for a feminist framework that can understand
lesbianism's queerness. Drawing on a provocative theoretical and
visual corpus, Lesbian Cinema after Queer Theory reveals the
conditions of lesbian legibility in the twenty-first century.
