Resumo
This article examines the question of queer televisual citizenship in the context of late-capitalist or spectacular societies. It investigates the heteronormativity of the current visual regime and it analyses the importance of images in the articulation of queer subjectivities and in the social experience of queer identity. Looking at the historical changes in the way queer people have been portrayed on British TV, the article analyses the problem of queer televisual absence/presences in the neo-liberal representational arena and discusses the implications of queer visual inclusion for debates on sexual citizenship and democracy in multivisual Britain.
