This book approaches the construction of complex and transgressive
'pervert' characters in mainstream (not 'art'), adult-oriented (not
pornographic) cinema. It deconstructs an episteme on which to base
the construction of characters in screenplays, in a way that
acknowledges how semiotic elements of characterisation intersect.
In addition, it provides an extended re-phrasing of the notion of
'the pervert' as Feiticiero/a: a newly-coined construct that might
serve as an underpinning for complex, sexual filmic characters that
are both entertaining and challenging to audiences. This
re-phrasing speaks to both an existential/phenomenological
conception of personhood and to the scholarly tradition of the
'linguistic turn' of continental philosophers such as Foucault and
Lacan, who represent language not primarily as describing the world
but as constructing it. The result is an original and
interdisciplinary volume that is brought to coherence through a
queer, post-humanist lens.
