Queer media studies has mostly focused on lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) visibility, stereotypes, and
positive images, but media technologies aren't just vehicles for
representations, they also shape them. How can queer theory and
queer methodologies complicate our understanding of communication
technologies, their structures and uses, and the cultural and
political implications of these? How can queer technologies inform
debates about affect, temporality, and publics? This book presents
new scholarship that addresses queer media production and practices
across a wide range of media, including television, music, zines,
video games, mobile applications, and online spaces. The authors
consider how LGBTQ representations and reception are shaped by
technological affordances and constraints. Chapters deal with
critical contemporary concepts such as counterpublics, affect,
temporality, nonbinary practices, queer technique, and
transmediation to explore intersections among communication and
media studies and cutting-edge queer and transgender theory. This
collection moves beyond considering LGBTQ representations as they
appear in media to consider the central role of technologies in
understanding intersections among gender, sexuality, and media.
Even the most heteromasculine technologies can be queered, yet we
can't assume queerness works in the same way across different
media. Emergent media technologies afford queer worldmaking, but
these worlds are forged between normalization and niche marketing.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical
Studies in Media Communication.
