WiSe 18/19: New Queer Cinema(s): Is There a Gay Art?

Talel Ben Jemia

Kommentar

In his essay „Is There a Gay Art?” (2010), Leo Bersani voices dissatisfaction with existing notions of what constitutes a gay or lesbian art, specifically with respect to film. Commonly gay and lesbian films are defined by their depiction of LGBT-subjects, gay authorship or their appeal to LGBT-audiences. Bersani wants to complicate and expand this understanding with the concept of a “homo-esthetic”, a sensibility and style that animates LGBT-filmmaking beyond these conventional categories. In this seminar, we will survey a breadth of films that have been promoted, perceived and/or canonized as Gay/Lesbian/Queer films. A crucial point of departure will be the New Queer Cinema of the 1990s which emerged in interplay with the ascending academic field of queer theory and social activism of the LGBT-community. We will read many seminal texts by queer theorists to chart the intersections of these queer cinema(s) and the theoretical works that shaped the trajectory of the LGBT-activism. ----- This course wants to provide an overview of queer cinema(s) from the 1990s into the present while frequently referring back to Bersani’s question of what constitutes gay/lesbian/queer art and what he calls its immanent “homo-esthetic.” Schließen
