This timely collection of accessible essays interrogate queer television at the start of the twenty- first century. The complex political, cultural, and economic milieu requires new terms and conceptual frameworks to study television and media through a queer lens. Gathering a range of well-known scholars, the book takes on the relationship between sexual identity, desire, and television, breaking new ground in a context where existing critical vocabularies and research paradigms used to study television no longer hold sway in the ways they used to. The anthology sets out to confound conventional categories used to organize queer television scholarship, like “programming,” “industry,” “audience,” “genre,” and “activism.” Instead, the anthology offers four interpretive frames – historicity, temporal play, ideological limitation and industrial contextualization – in the interest of creating new queer tools for studying digital television in the contemporary age.This collection is suitable for scholars and students studying queer media studies, television studies, gender studies, and sexuality studies.

"From the twins Osugi and Peeco to longstanding icon Miwa Akihiro, Claire Maree traces the figure of the Japanese queerqueen, showing how a diversity of gender identifications, sexual orientations, and discursive styles are commodified and packaged together to form this character. Representations of gay men's speech have changed in tandem with gender norms, increasingly crossing over into popular media via the body of the "authentic" gay male up to and including the current "LGBT boom" in Japan. In this context, queerqueen demonstrates how commercial practices of recording, transcribing, and editing spoken interactions and use of on-screen text encode queerqueen speech as inherently excessive and in need of containment. Tackling questions of authenticity, self-censorship, and the restrictions of heteronormativity within this perception of queer excess, Maree shows how queerqueen styles reproduce stereotypes of gender, sexuality, and desire that are essential to the business of mainstream entertainment."--

"Quelle est la portée politique du travestissement spectaculaire ? Le lien entre travestissement et homosexualité, saillant dans nombre de discours, est-il à réinterroger ou à minimiser ? Pourquoi les travestissements masculins sont-ils surreprésentés, et contribuent-ils ainsi à naturaliser la hiérarchisation des genres ? Ludique, fonctionnel ou identitaire, transgressif ou spectaculaire : si le travestissement recouvre différents phénomènes, certains banalisés et d'autres marginaux, il permet globalement d'interroger le lien entre genre, culture et performance. Il met d'une part en évidence les artifices du genre et les modalités de sa construction et de sa déconstruction comme pratique performative ; il témoigne d'autre part de pratiques historiquement, socialement et culturellement situées du genre. On propose ici un état des lieux des réflexions actuelles sur les travestissements et leur fonction symbolique et/ou politique. L'ouvrage vise à historiciser les pratiques des travestissements et évite tout biais qui pourrait invisibiliser ou provincialiser des phénomènes non-occidentaux. Histoire culturelle, anthropologie, arts du spectacle et sociologie ; télévision, cinéma, littérature, musique sont les domaines mobilisés."
