Queer Screens

Series editor: David A. Gerstner, College of Staten Island, CUNY and Cáel M. Keegan, Concordia University, Montréal

Queer Screens expands our senses by reimagining the relationship between queerness and the screen. In short, it engages in theoretical mayhem. Embracing mayhem’s destructive and reconstructive energies, each book in the series opens the “queer screen” to new questions about method, content, and form. Through rigorous textual analysis, Queer Screens refuses to let queerness rest or settle; it presses queer up against considerations of transness, race, and class analyses. Probing the edges of both queerness and the screen, the series provokes unexpected theorizations of visuality, aesthetics, mediation, canonicity, cinephilia, and auteurism.
