How can we queerly theorise and understand television? How can the
realms of television studies and queer theory be brought together,
in a manner beneficial and productive for both? Queer TV: Theories,
Histories, Politics is the first book to explore television in all
its scope and complexity - its industry, production, texts,
audiences, pleasures and politics - in relation to queerness. With
contributions from distinguished authors working in film/television
studies and the study of gender/sexuality, it offers a unique
contribution to both disciplines. An introductory chapter by the
editors charts the key debates and issues addressed within the
book, followed by three sections, each central to an understanding
of the relationships between queerness and television: 'theories
and approaches', histories and genres', and 'television itself'.
Individual essays examine the relationships between queers,
queerness, and television across the multiple sites of production,
consumption, reception, interpretation and theorisation, as well as
the textual and aesthetic dimensions of television and the
televisual. The book crucially moves beyond lesbian and gay textual
analyses of specific TV shows that have often focussed on
evaluations of positive/negative representations and identities.
Rather, the essays in Queer TV theorise not just the queerness
in/on television (the production personnel, the representations it
offers) but also the queerness of television as a distinct medium.
