Drawing on the history of marriage, Stanley Cavell's analysis of Hollywood comedies of remarriage, and readings of recent gay and lesbian films, Wallace shows that queer experiments in domesticity have reshaped the affective and erotic horizons of heterosexual marriage and its defining principles: fidelity, exclusivity, and endurance. Wallace analyzes a series of films-Dorothy Arzner's \u003ci\u003eCraig's Wife\u003c\/i\u003e (1936); Tom Ford's \u003ci\u003eA Single Man\u003c\/i\u003e (2009); Lisa Cholodenko's \u003ci\u003eHigh Art\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), \u003ci\u003eLaurel Canyon\u003c\/i\u003e (2002), and \u003ci\u003eThe Kids Are All Right\u003c\/i\u003e (2010); and Andrew Haigh's \u003ci\u003eWeekend\u003c\/i\u003e (2011) and \u003ci\u003e45 Years\u003c\/i\u003e (2015)-that, she contends, do not simply reflect social and legal changes; they fundamentally alter our sense of what sexual attachment involves as both a social and a romantic form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Wallace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478008105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478008101\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 05\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2021","brand":"Lee Wallace","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46617903202559,"sku":"9781478008101","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_534ea519-0c88-4a0b-bdb0-297799296bd2.jpg?v=1740068645","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reattachment-theory-lee-wallace-9781478008101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
