Freya Young and Evan Bennett were childhood friends, but a
five-year age gap put them at a certain distance from one another.
Despite that Freya always believed they would be together forever,
until the day Evan moved to a different state to attend a
high-status college. Four years pass with no word from Evan and
Freya tries her best to move on with her life. However, her mother
soon announces that Evan would be coming home for a visit. When
later on she hears the doorbell ring she is feeling both anxious
and happy. When she opens the door, however, not only does she see
the man of her dreams standing before her, but also his fiancee
Holly Baker. The distance between the two of them continues to
grow, as new feelings begin to emerge. They soon both have to face
their true feelings for each other and those around them.
In Queer Timing, Susan Potter offers a counter-history that
reorients accepted views of lesbian representation and
spectatorship in early cinema. Potter sees the emergence of lesbian
figures as only the most visible but belated outcome of multiple
sexuality effects. Early cinema reconfigured older erotic
modalities, articulated new--though incoherent--sexual categories,
and generated novel forms of queer feeling and affiliation. Potter
draws on queer theory, silent film historiography, feminist film
analysis, and archival research to provide an original and
innovative analysis. Taking a conceptually oriented approach, she
articulates the processes of filmic representation and
spectatorship that reshaped, marginalized, or suppressed women's
same-sex desires and identities. As she pursues a sense of
"timing," Potter stages scenes of the erotic and intellectual
encounters shared by historical spectators, on-screen figures, and
present-day scholars. The result is a daring revision of feminist
and queer perspectives that foregrounds the centrality of women's
same-sex desire to cinematic discourses of both homo- and
heterosexuality.
