Pornographic intimacy, public infatuation and bacchanalian monadology in Paris 05

In this sequence, Théo, a beginner looking to experiment sexually with other men, is attracted to Hugo. During their sexual interactions, they are instantly infatuated and leave the club together. This unique sequence blurs the boundaries between public and private spheres, pornograp…
Queer Cinema in the World
Karl Schoonover and Rosalind Galt’s Queer Cinema in the World initially proposes a radical comparative vision of cinema’s queer globalism. It aims to explore how queer filmmaking intersects with in
Intimate Relationships in Cinema, Literature and Visual Culture
Joseph/Josephine’s angst
Tod Browning’s controversial film Freaks [USA 1932. Freaks. Screenplay/transcript of the 1932 cult horror classic film. Horrorlair.com; http://www.horrorlair.com/scripts/freaks.txt] focuses on a carnival sideshow in which people with extreme physical deformities display their unusual bodies. Although this film, in which the extraordinary characters were played by real sideshow performers, has been extensively and critically analyzed, the particul…
Sensational Pleasures in Cinema, Literature and Visual Culture
This international collection focuses on the phallic character of classic and contemporary literary and visual cultures and their invasive nature. It focuses on thrillers, horror cinema, sexual art an
Soldiers, Rebels, and Drifters
Israeli Cinema
Gay Martyrs, Jewish Saints and Infatuated Yeshiva Boys in the New Israeli Religious Queer Cinema
Popular mainstream cinema often sensationalizes, stigmatizes, and even ridicules religions, faiths, congregations, and the religiously observant. The (mis)representation of religious communities is sometimes even more negative in films that centre on religious gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people, and their presumably homophobic congregations. This article offers an initial exploration of a new kind of Israeli film at the beginning…
Spectacular metamorphosis and an erotic device in the self-promotion campaign of a satellite television channel
In contrast to the increased popularity of gay and lesbian representations in the visual media of the early 2000s, the imagery of androgynous, inter-sex and transgender subjectivities, particularly in television commercials, is conspicuously limited. This article distinguishes three main categories of cinematic (mis)representation of gender transgression: the opportunistic lipstick, the “authentic” lipstick, and the fabulous lipstick. It examines…
Educating The Simpsons
This article analyzes queer representation in contemporary visual media and examines how the episode “Homer's Phobia” from Matt Groening's animation series The Simpsons can be used to deconstruct hetero- and homo-sexual codes of behavior, socialization, articulation, representation and visibility. The analysis is contextualized in the interaction between mainstream and independent cinemas, and particularly, the rise of the New Queer Cinema and Te…
Gotta Have An Effeminate Heart
The TV musical Gotta Have Heart (1997) portrays a love triangle among two men and one woman, located within a musical spectacle, and challenging conventional formulations of gender, sex, and sexualities. Synthesizing American, European, and Israeli imageries of the past—particularly 1950s and 1970s memorabilia, Israeli folk dances, and Eurovision song contests—this Israeli musical generates hybrid visualizations, integrating Israeli mainstream cu…
Media and Popular Culture Representations of LGBT Bullying
This article critically reviews diverse representations of bullying of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people in contemporary media: cinema, television, journals, Web sites, fiction, children's books, comics, music, advertising, and pornography
Unruly Womanliness, Gender Dysphoria, and Anita Faleli'S Iconography
If a sexuality is to be disclosed, what will be taken as the true determinant of its meaning: the phantasy structure, the act, the orifice, the gender, the anatomy? (Judith Butler [1991] 1993, p. 310)
Dreamboys, Meatmen and Werewolves
The homoerotic comic strip, as a medium and genre in its own right, integrates several media including illustration, cartoon, animation, graphics, physique art, and pornography. In these subaltern texts, when the characters are of the same gender the rites of masculinity are both indulged and subverted. Hence, this graphic subculture provides a radical perspective on sexualities, intimacies, body worship and contemporary phallic regimes. This art…
Edge of seventeen
Queer adolescence films in the US and Britain in the 1990s show positive representations of same‐sex attraction, romance, and confrontations with homophobia. Films like Beautiful Thing, Edge of Seventeen, and Get Real are primarily targeted at young gay and lesbian viewers who need supportive and optimistic visualizations of eroticized queer politics, struggle and success, agony and happiness. These films are characterized, however, by complicate…
Priscilla Fights Back
Camp, as queer creation and manifestation, objects to the stigmatization that marks the unnatural, extraordinary, perverse, sick, inefficient, dangerous, and freakish. As political counterculture, it is much more than a mode of aestheticism or worship of the artifice. By celebrating its extravagance, carnival, stylized eroticism, masquerade, and colorful kitsch and mimicry, camp provides a different perspective that provokes heteronormative gende…
