LGBTQs, Media and Culture in Europe (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Dhoest, Alexander; Eeckhout, Bart; Szulc, Lukasz

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Media matter, particularly to social minorities like lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. Rather than one homogenised idea of the 'global gay', what we find today is a range of historically and culturally specific expressions of gender and sexuality, which are reflected and explored across an ever increasing range of media outlets. This collection zooms in on a number of facets of this kaleidoscope, each chapter discussing the intersection of a particular European context and a particular medium with its affordances and limitations.
