Recenzii
Sense8 (2015-2018), conceived of and produced by the Wachowskis was a Netflix phenomenon that transcended multiple boundaries of sexuality, gender, nation and sensibility just as the fledgeling streaming platform was also carving out a progressive identity as a producer of original content. The multiple contributions to this volume featuring both key scholars and emergent voices show that this was a complex relationship in which the desires of the producers, fans and the platform were not always in alignment. Bringing together television and film studies approaches with queer and fan studies perspectives, this multi-faceted volume highlights the powerful impact Sense8 had as something more and other than conventional film or television. It also brilliantly shows the ways that the trans*, queer and polyamorous intimacies and empathy represented in the show were refracted in the communities surrounding the show, constituting a comet-like transformative event at the centre of progressive contemporary screen cultures.
Suitably for a volume focused on a series whose motto was 'diversity in unity', the essays in this superb collection approach Sense8 from divergent but nicely complementary angles, illuminating it in relation to matters of representation, aesthetics, medium specificity, philosophy, spectatorship and activism. Exalting the series' affirmative and jubilant queer globalism, while also critical of its limitations and shortfalls, this expertly crafted and eminently readable anthology evaluates Sense8's impact and relevance, while using it as a means of pondering over questions of community, communality, connection, connectivity and collectivity in our divided and fractured world. I couldn't think of more pressing issues to attend to at this moment in time.
Assembling a magnificent cluster of scholars, Sense8: Transcending Television is an indispensable companion to the Netflix series. Beautifully written and pulsing with critical insights, this collection of essays demonstrates the same 'radical empathy' embodied by Sense8 itself. It reveals how the sensate - a group of individuals bound to one another despite distance and difference - mirrors the immersive and collective viewing experience of audiences in the streaming era. Shaw and Stone's collection not only articulates the generative potential of Sense8's queer and trans world building - it heightens it.
