Queer Cinema, The Film Reader examines the relationship between
cinematic representations of sexuality and their social,
historical, and industrial contexts. Clearly divided into an
introductory overview and four topic areas, the Reader explores how
recent critical thinking has approached queer sexualities in
relation to the cinema. The four sections discuss: Authorship -
examining the role of sexuality in the work of queer filmmakers
such as George Cukor, Dorothy Arzner, Barbara Hammer, and the
directors of New Queer Cinema Forms - exploring how genres such as
the horror film, the musical, film noir, and the animated film
construct queer cinematic spaces Camp - looking at how this
reception strategy and mode of textual production, initially
practised by pre-Stonewall queers, retains its critical charge even
in contemporary mainstream popular culture Reception - considering
three specific historical case-studies of how queer fans have
interacted with media texts from Judy Garland to Star Trek. The
Reader concludes with an essay that queerly rethinks classical gaze
theory and allows students and scholars of the subject to draw
their own conclusions in their studies.
