{"product_id":"straight-girls-and-queer-guys-christopher-pullen-9781474425865","title":"Straight Girls and Queer Guys: The Hetero Media Gaze in Film and Television","description":"Exploring the archetypal representation of the straight girl with the queer guy in film and television culture from 1948 to the present day, \u003cem\u003eStraight Girls and Queer Guys\u003c\/em\u003e considers the process of the 'hetero media gaze' and the way it contextualizes sexual diversity and gender identity. Offering both an historical foundation and a rigorous conceptual framework, Christopher Pullen draws on a range of case studies, including the films of Doris Day and Rock Hudson, the performances of Kenneth Williams, televisions shows such as \u003cem\u003eGlee, Sex and the City\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWill and Grace\u003c\/em\u003e, the work of Derek Jarman, and the role of the gay best friend in Hollywood film. Critiquing the representation of the straight girl and the queer guy for its relation to both power and otherness, this is a provocative study that frames a theoretical model which can be applied across diverse media forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Pullen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474425860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474425865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Christopher Pullen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935511544063,"sku":"9781474425865","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_09060ca8-8f73-429b-beba-1df77b8fd537.jpg?v=1681420222","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/straight-girls-and-queer-guys-christopher-pullen-9781474425865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
