Popular culture inhabits all of our lives in one form or another. This book brings together critics, writers and artists to discuss the possibilities of popular culture for lesbians and gay men.It's here and it's queer - popular culture inhabits all our lives, whether it comes in the form of movies or magazines, TV or shopping. A Queer Romance brings together critics, writers and artists to debate the possibilites of popular culture for lesbians and gay men.In a collection that is in-yer-face but never out-to-lunch, the contributors variously revisit debates about the gaze to provide a new theory of Queer viewing; discuss texts coded as queer - from lesbian vampires to Hollywood's use of gay codes in mainstream films such as Top Gun and Black Widow; consider the sexual and cultural narratives at play in the world of home shopping catalogues; explore the pleasures and perils of gay cultural production, from the radically queer film-making of Monika Treut to the wild world of homocore fanzines, and address the possibilities of texts claiming to be for the gay spectator - from pornography 'by women, for women and about women' to 'Out' TV.The contributors to A Queer Romance don't all agree but, taken together, the collection argues strongly that everyone can have their queer moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Social Science, LGBT Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780415096188\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £1.86","offer_id":47911346307249,"sku":"SB-0415096189-C4","price":1.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0415096189.jpg?v=1789205304","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-queer-romance-lesbians-gay-men-and-popular-culture","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
