Queer Representation, Visibility, and Race in American Film and Television

This book traces the uneven history of queer media visibility through crucial turning points including the Hollywood Production Code era, the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, the so-called explosion of gay visibility on television during the 1990s, and the re-imagination of queer representations on TV after the events of 9/11. My book intervenes in previous academic and popular accounts that paint the increase in queer visibility over the past four decades as a largely progressive development. I examine how and why a limited and limiting concept of queer visibility structured around white gay and lesbian characters in committed relationships has become the embodiment of progressive LGBT media representations. I investigate queer visibility across film, TV, and print media, and highlight previously unexplored connections, such as the lingering traces of classical Hollywood cinemas queer tropes in the X-Men franchise. Across all chapters, narratives and arguments emerge that demonstrate how queer visibility shapes and reflects not only media representations, but the real and imagined geographies, histories, and people of the American nation.

Melanie E.S. Kohnen is Visiting Assistant Professor at New York University, USA. Her research focuses on the contemporary media industry and cultural diversity. Her previous work has appeared in Journal of Popular Television, Creative Industries, and the essay collections Teen Television and Future Texts: Subversive Performance and Feminist Bodies.

To all my teachers.

There are many people who have contributed their thoughts and support to the making of this book. The first version of this project was completed as my dissertation at Brown University. Many thanks to Lynne Joyrich, Wendy Chun, and Bob Lee for the rewarding and challenging grad school experience I had at Brown. Thank you in particular to Lynne for her incredibly detailed and always thought-provoking comments on chapter drafts that pushed me to consider yet another perspective even when I thought I had exhausted a particular avenue of thought.
