'British Queer Cinema 'draws together a diverse range of innovative new essays that explore, for the first time, the provocative history of lesbian, gay and queer representation in British cinema. From the early years of "Pre-Gay" film, through to the social upheaval of post-war "permissiveness," Gay Liberation and the "post-AIDS" queer generation, contributors examine the shifting and complex nature of queer identity, desire and spectatorship across a number of classical and contemporary British popular film genres and traditions. Through case studies of key works such as The Killing of Sister George, Prick Up Your Ears and Beautiful Thing, a reappraisal of the films of Anthony Asquith, Terence Davies and Derek Jarman, to the "queerness" of the heritage film, the homoerotic "New Wave," or the star performances of Dirk Bogarde, Beryl Reid and Stephen Fry, this timely collection maps the relationship between contemporary queer sexuality and its socio-historical, national and critical contexts.

In an era where digital converges with new technologies that allow for cropping, remixing, extracting, and pirating, a second life for traditional media appears via the internet and emerging platforms. Pink 2.0 examines the mechanisms through which the internet and associated technologies both produce and limit the intelligibility of contemporary queer cinema. Challenging conventional conceptions of the internet as en exceptionally queer medium, Noah A. Tsika explores the constraints that publishers, advertisers, and content farms place on queer cinema as a category of production, distribution, and reception. He shows how the commercial internet is increasingly characterized by the algorithmic reduction of diverse queer films to the dimensions of a highly valued white, middle-class, gay masculinity - a phenomenon that he terms "Pink 2.0". Excavating a rich set of online materials through the practice of media archaeology, he demonstrates how the internet's early and intense associations with gay male consumers (and vice versa) have not only survived the medium's dramatic global expansion but have also shaped a series of strategies for producing and consuming queer cinema. Identifying alternatives to such corporate and technological constraints, Tsika uncovers the vibrant lives of queer cinema in the complex, contentious, and libidinous pockets of the internet where resistant forms of queer fandom thrive.

"Classical Hollywood Cinema, Sexuality, and the Politics of the Face examines the representation of iconic female faces in classical Hollywood cinema- Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson, Elizabeth Taylor - and the gay male fetishization of those faces. Hollywood's golden age is given to an aesthetic and ideological struggle between rival scopic economies: an erotics of "to-be-looked-at-ness," countered by a hermeneutics of "to-be-seen-through-ness." The latter emerges triumphant, but the legendary female faces of Hollywood resist, in their different ways, a coercive and normalizing knowledge, which is the source of the gay male investment in them. In addition to the analysis of Suddenly Last Summer, Sunset Boulevard and Ninotchka, the book also presents the broader context of early and mid-century cinema and culture. This includes analyses of D.W. Griffith and blackface, the Stonewall riots and the coming-into-voice of the modern gay subject, major films by Hitchcock, Citizen Kane, and the emergence of rival standards of beauty, both female and male, in figures such as Katharine Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart, Rock Hudson, and James Dean. This is an important study for students of queer theory, film theory and history, and gender and sexuality studies"--
