Villarejo provides real tools with which we can investigate the cinematic lesbian as she appears, or indeed, does not seem to appear, in the lounge rooms, the archives and at the festivals of those of us as far away as Australia.""-- Megan Carrigy, Senses of Cinema Lesbian Rule is a challenging yet rewarding book. Its insights are original, provocative, and far-reaching. -Steven Cohan, author of Masked Men: Masculinity and the Movies in the Fifties Once you read Amy Villarejo's ingenious recontextualizations of the lesbian presence in documentary film, lesbian visibility will never look the same again. Studded with brilliant theoretical insights about fetishism, archives, diaspora, and more, Lesbian Rule's surprising juxtapositions make even the most obscure cultural object 'shimmer with history.' Best of all is the dreamy prose-witty, elegant, and full of delight. -Ann Cvetkovich, author of An Archive of Feelings: Trauma, Sexuality, and Lesbian Public Cultures Author InformationAmy Villarejo is Associate Professor in the Department of Theater, Film, and Dance at Cornell University. She is coauthor of Queen Christina and coeditor of Keyframes: Popular Film and Cultural Studies. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
