 DEADLINE:  SEPTEMBER 1, 2017
PROPOSED PUBLICATION DATE:  Fall/Winter 2018
 Production studies has often failed to include sexuality and queerness 
in its research agenda. However, as mediated representation of LGBTQ 
subjects has increased across media, the scholarship has infrequently 
turned away from the image on screen to examine the ways queerness is 
produced within the media industries. Certainly, some scholars have 
turned their attention to the ways LGBTQ subjects use media as a 
counterpublic (Gamson, 2009 and Muñoz, 1999), the politics of writing 
gay characters within otherwise heterosexual series (Martin, 2015), the 
utility of paratexts in producing on-screen queerness (Draper, 2012 and 
Miller, 2013), the particularities of branding queerness within cable 
television (Freitas 2007, Himberg, 2014 and Ng, 2013), and the 
invisibility of queer labor (Tinkcom, 2002), few of these studies have 
made a sustained theoretical intervention that helps to illuminate the 
relationship(s) between the proliferation of LGBTQ media, queer 
production studies as a discipline/off-shoot of broader production 
studies, and what it means to produce queerness in 21st century media.
 This special issue invites submissions that address the many facets of 
queer production and the production of queerness. This special issue 
attempts to re-focus attention from the image on the screen to the ways 
queerness is produced within the culture industries, paying close 
attention to the ways image production is inextricably tethered to 
notions of the/a mainstream. In doing so, the special issue hopes to 
expand the types of research questions and texts within the field of 
queer media studies and production studies. The special issue is 
especially interested in scholarly interventions that address 
intersectional queerness in relationship to:

-) Television networks and the production of queerness
-) Production studies of specific media texts
-) The interplay between media production and audience reception
-) Casting and the production of queerness
-) Uncovering queerness within archives
-) Celebrity studies and queer production
-) Auteurs and queer(ing) production
-) Queer labor and production studies
-) Media syndication/distribution and queer production
-) Queering media production
-) Paratexts and producing queerness
