A Queer Romance
Lesbians, Gay Men and Popular Culture
Paul Burston; Colin Richardson
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.
