Queer Representation Visibility and Race in American Film and Television Screening the Closet

Queer Representation Visibility and Race in American Film and Television Screening the Closet

This book traces the uneven history of queer media visibility through crucial turning points including the Hollywood Production Code era the AIDS crisis of the 1980s the so-called explosion of gay visibility on television during the1990s and the re-imagination of queer representations on TV after the events of 9/11. Kohnen intervenes in previous academic and popular accounts that paint the increase in queer visibility over the past four decades as a largely progressive development. She examines how and why a limited and limiting concept of queer visibility structured around white gay and lesbian characters in committed relationships has become the embodiment of progressive LGBT media representations. She also investigates queer visibility across film TV and print media and highlights previously unexplored connections such as the lingering traces of classical Hollywood cinema's queer tropes in the X-Men franchise. Across all chapters narratives and arguments emerge that demonstrate how queer visibility shapes and reflects not only media representations but the real and imagined geographies histories and people of the American nation. | Queer Representation Visibility and Race in American Film and Television Screening the Closet
