Special Issue of Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media
|
The critical importance of screen media to queer identities and cultural practices has been well documented. Queer media studies has traditionally concerned itself with the analysis of screen texts that purport to represent LGBTQ lives and characters; the unique attributes of queer audiences and fans; and the possibilities that queer reading strategies offer. More recently, in light of the humanities’ archival ‘turn’, which is indebted to both Foucauldian notions of genealogy and to new materialisms, scholars have begun to explore relationships among queerness, temporality and media history. This special issue of Alphaville invites papers that address the queer potentials of time-based film and screen media, with a particular interest in exploring temporalities that inform, or are invoked or generated by, texts and practices of queer media history and historiography.
