{"product_id":"queer-imaginings-on-writing-and-cinematic-friendship-9780814350218","title":"Queer Imaginings: On Writing and Cinematic Friendship","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow do we identify the \"queer auteur\" and their queer imaginings? Is it possible to account for such a figure when the very terms \"queer\" and \"auteur\" invoke aesthetic surprises and disorientations, disconcerting ironies and paradoxes, and biographical deceits and ambiguities? In eighteen eloquent chapters, David A. Gerstner traces a history of ideas that spotlight an ever-shifting terrain associated with auteur theory and, in particular, queer-auteur theory. Engaging with the likes of Oscar Wilde, Walter Benjamin, James Baldwin, Jean Louis Baudry, Linda Nochlin, Jane Gallop, Cáel Keegan, Luce Irigaray, and other prominent critical thinkers, Gerstner contemplates how the queer auteur in film theory might open us to the work of desire. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eQueer Imaginings\u003c\/i\u003e argues for a queer-auteur in which critical theory is reenabled to reconceptualize the auteur in relation to race, gender, sexuality, and desire. Gerstner succinctly defines the contours of a history and the ongoing discussions that situate queer and auteur theories in film studies. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eQueer Imaginings \u003c\/i\u003eis a journey in shared pleasures in which writing for and about cinema makes way for unanticipated cinematic friendships.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12865369\"\u003eDavid A.
