{"product_id":"out-takes-essays-on-queer-theory-and-film-9780822323426","title":"Out Takes: Essays on Queer Theory and Film","description":"This collection brings together the work of both film scholars and queer theorists to advance a more sophisticated notion of queer film criticism. While the \"politics of representation\" has been the focus of much previous gay and lesbian film criticism, the contributors to \u003ci\u003eOut Takes\u003c\/i\u003e employ the approaches of queer theory to move beyond conventional readings and to reexamine aspects of the cinematic gaze in relation to queer desire and spectatorship.\u003cp\u003eThe essays examine a wide array of films, including \u003ci\u003eCalamity Jane\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRear Window, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHeavenly Creatures\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBound\u003c\/i\u003e, and discuss such figures as Doris Day, Elizabeth Taylor, and Alfred Hitchcock. Divided into three sections, the first part reconsiders the construction of masculinity and male homoerotic desire-especially with respect to the role of women-in classic cinema of the 1940s and 1950s. The second section offers a deconstructive consideration of lesbian film spectatorship and lesbian representation. Part three looks at the historical trajectory of independent queer cinema, including works by H.D., Kenneth Anger, and Derek Jarman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy exploring new approaches to the study of sexuality in film, \u003ci\u003eOut Takes\u003c\/i\u003e will be useful to scholars in gay and lesbian studies, queer theory, and cinema studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors.\u003c\/i\u003e Bonnie Burns, Steven Cohan, Alexander Doty, Lee Edelman, Michelle Elleray, Jim Ellis, Ellis Hanson, D.
