| Title: | Feeling Normal : Sexuality and Media Criticism in the Digital Age |
|---|---|
| Description: | An analysis of emerging LGBTQ+ media, queer spaces in urban areas, and sexual identity. The explosion of cable networks, cinema distributors, and mobile media companies explicitly designed for sexual minorities in the contemporary moment has made media culture a major factor in what it feels like to be a queer person. F. Hollis Griffin demonstrates how cities offer a way of thinking about that phenomenon. By examining urban centers in tandem with advertiser-supported newspapers, New Queer Cinema and B-movies, queer-targeted television, and mobile apps, Griffin illustrates how new forms of LGBTQ+ media are less'new'than we often believe. He connects cities and LGBTQ+ media through the experiences they can make available to people, which Griffin articulates as feelings, emotions, and affects. He illuminates how the limitations of these experiences—while not universally accessible, nor necessarily empowering—are often the very reasons why people find them compelling and desirable.'As a guide to emerging queer media of our new century, Hollis Griffin is funny, generous, passionate, and lucid. Whether he's explaining Grindr's memes or the gayborhoods of Chicago, cable travel programs or online networks, Griffin discovers how it feels to be queer in the digital age.'—Amy Villarejo, author of Ethereal Queer: Television, Historicity, Desire'Offers a piercing examination of modern identity politics focused on relationships among new forms of media consumption and marketplaces, urban centers, and the experiences of sexual minorities.... Feeling Normal is a must-read for scholars and students in queer studies and communication, media studies, film studies, and sociology.'—Choice |
