This exciting and original volume offers the first comprehensive
critical study of the recent profusion of European films and
television addressing sexual migration and seeking to capture the
lives and experiences of LGBTIQ+ migrants and refugees. Queering
the Migrant in Contemporary European Cinema argues that embodied
cinematic representations of the queer migrant, even if at times
highly ambivalent and contentious, constitute an urgent new
repertoire of queer subjectivities and socialities that serve to
undermine the patrolled borders of gender and sexuality, nationhood
and citizenship, and refigure or queer fixed notions and universals
of identity like 'Europe' and national belonging based on the model
of the family. At stake ethically and politically is the
elaboration of a 'transborder' consciousness and aesthetics that
counters the homonationalist, xenophobic and homo/trans-phobic
representation of the 'migrant to Europe' figure rooted in the
toxic binaries of othering (the good vs bad migrant, host vs guest,
indigenous vs foreigner). Bringing together 16 contributors working
in different national film traditions and embracing multiple
theoretical perspectives, this powerful and timely collection will
be of major interest to both specialists and students in Film and
Media Studies, Gender and Queer Studies, Migration/Mobility
Studies, Cultural Studies, and Aesthetics.
