This book explores the space of queer documentary through the
modernist optic of Marcel Proust's 'lieu factice' (artificial
place), a perspective that problematizes the location of place in a
post-postmodern world with a dispersed sense of the real. The
practice of queer documentary in France and Italy, from the
beginning of the new millennium onwards, is seen to re-write the
coherence of 'place' through a range of emerging queer realities.
Proposing the post-queer as a way of contending with the spatial
dynamics of these contexts, analysis of key texts positions place
as mourned, conceded and intersectional. The performance of place
as agency is considered through the notional film, the radical
archive of documentary, the enactment of politics, queer
indeterminacy and a phenomenology of the object, the frame and
queer mobility. The central themes of family, gender, dis/location,
in/visibility and re/presentation question blind investment in the
integrity of being emplaced.
