Challenging the widespread view that LGBT characters did not make a sustained appearance on television until the 1980s, she draws on innovative readings of TV shows and network archives to reveal queer television's lengthy, rich, and varied history. Villarejo goes beyond concerns about representational accuracy. She tracks how changing depictions of queer life, in programs from \u003ci\u003eOur Miss Brooks\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eThe L Word\u003c\/i\u003e, relate to transformations in business models and technologies, including modes of delivery and reception such as cable, digital video recording, and online streaming. In so doing, she provides a bold new way to understand the history of television.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Villarejo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822354950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822354956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014 pg. 68","brand":"Amy Villarejo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065188561151,"sku":"9780822354956","price":123.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9600d699-1879-47e4-b86c-d46c3c0b1635.jpg?v=1768673578","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ethereal-queer-amy-villarejo-9780822354956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
