A
fascinating
and
illuminating
analysis
of
The
Terminator
films,
examining
and
revealing
both
the
gender
politics
and
shifts
in
sexuality
contemporary
with
the
series
production.
Greven
also
demonstrates
how
these
changes
shape
the
subliminal
and
metaphorical
undertones
of
the
films
and
their
plots.
Queering the Terminatorprovides a lively, compelling exploration of the "un-likeliness of desire," showing that mainstream texts do speak to queers even when apparently not doing so. Rereading theTerminatorfilms and television series for their fetishistic emphases and in light of their cultural and historical contexts, David Greven finds male vulnerability, feminist strength, fascist masculinity, pedophilic attraction, and gender-fluid sexuality all on display, alongside the series' more obvious preoccupations with time travel, trauma, the heterosexual couple, and the child. An innovative and welcome addition to the already considerable scholarship about this globally influential media franchise.
This knowledgeable and engaging look at the Terminator saga offers new, sometimes surprising, perspectives. Examining the entire film canon to date and including the TV series, Greven works outward from his own viewing experience, providing a skilful unpicking of the contexts and contradictions of the iconic science fiction series.
