Gay Men, Technology and Embodiment in the Digital Age

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Popular culture has recognized urban gay men's use of the web over the last ten years, yet to date, the relationship between urban gay male culture and digital media technologies has received only limited critical attention. Gaydar Culture fills this gap by offering a timely intervention into the fields of digital media studies, cultural studies and the study of gender and sexuality.
