Bisexual Characters in Film: From Ana's to Zee
Autor Wayne M Bryanten Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 ian 1997
Bisexual Characters in Film looks at the contribution of bisexual people (and others who have had lovers of varying sexes) to the body of work available on film today. These include the directors, writers, actors, composers, and designers whose sexual orientation has informed their work. An analysis of the Motion Picture Production Code and its devastating effect on bisexual and homosexual screen images forms an important part of the book. You learn how, specifically, it eradicated gay, lesbian, and bisexual characters from Hollywood films as well as the role of bisexual, lesbian, and gay filmmakers in finally defeating it. Other questions you’ll find answers to include:
- Who, or what, is a bisexual?
- How were bisexual characters represented in silent film, before the forces of censorship banned them from the screen?
- What bisexual myths and stereotypes are portrayed on film?
- What is the role of “camp” in bisexual film?
Bisexual Characters in Film is a unique resource for researchers; librarians; film festival planners; the queer media; professors and students of lesbian, gay, and bisexual studies; bisexual activists; and general bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgendered readers. It provides a much-needed view of bisexual representations in a major segment of our popular culture.
