Opis

Queer Technologies: Affordances, Affect, Ambivalence presents new scholarship that addresses queer media and practices across a wide range of media, including television, music, zines, video games, mobile applications, and online spaces. Contributors engage with critical contemporary concepts such as counterpublics, affect, temporality, non-binary practices, queer technique, and transmediation to productively explore intersections among communication and media studies and cutting-edge queer and transgender theory. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Studies in Media Communication.
