Cinesexuality explores the queerness of cinema spectatorship,
arguing that cinema spectatorship represents a unique encounter of
desire, pleasure and perversion beyond dialectics of subject/object
and image/meaning; an extraordinary 'cinesexual' relationship, that
encompasses each event of cinema spectatorship in excess of gender,
hetero- or homosexuality, encouraging all spectators to challenge
traditional notions of what elicits pleasure and constitutes
desiring subjectivity. Through a variety of cinematic examples,
including abstract film, extreme films and films which present
perverse sexuality and corporeal reconfiguration, Cinesexuality
encourages a radical shift to spectatorship as itself inherently
queer beyond what is watched and who watches. Film as its own form
of philosophy invokes spectatorship thought as an ethics of desire.
Original, exciting and theoretically sophisticated - focusing on
continental philosophy, particularly Guattari, Deleuze, Blanchot,
Foucault, Lyotard, Irigaray and Serres - the book will be of
interest to scholars and students of queer, gender and feminist
studies, film and aesthetics theory, cultural studies, media and
communication, post-structural theory and contemporary
philosophical thought.
