Popular culture has recognized urban gay men's use of the Web over
the last ten years, with gay Internet dating and Net-cruising
featuring as narrative devices in hit television shows. Yet to
date, the relationship between urban gay male culture and digital
media technologies has received only limited critical attention.
Gaydar Culture explores the integration of specific techno-cultural
practices within contemporary gay male sub-culture. Taking British
gay culture as its primary interest, the book locates its critical
discussion within the wider global context of a proliferating model
of Western 'metropolitan' gay male culture. Making use of a series
of case studies in the development of a theoretical framework
through which past, present and future practices of digital
immersion can be understood and critiqued; this book constitutes a
timely intervention into the fields of digital media studies,
cultural studies and the study of gender and sexuality.
