Description | Villarejo recontextualises the lesbian presence in documentary film. Studded with insights about fetishism, archives, diaspora, and more, she considers a range of films from documentaries about Cuba and lesbian pulp fiction to 'Exile Shanghai' and 'The Brandon Teena Story'. She presents a theoretical exploration of lesbian visibility. Focusing on images of lesbians in film, she analyses what these representations contain and their limits. She combines Marxist theories of value with poststructuralist insights to argue that lesbian visibility operates simultaneously as an achievement and a ruse, a possibility for building a new visual politics and a way of rendering static and contained what lesbian might mean. |
