[Commlist] Critical Studies in Television TRANS TV dossier in CST volume 14: 4

Tue Dec 17 21:34:24 GMT 2019





Just drawing your attention to this recently published section of the latest issue of Critical Studies in Television.

As the second installment of our TRANS TV project, this special dossier investigates contemporary transformations of Trans and Queer TV aesthetics in the era of Internet-distributed TV, but also tracing longer genealogies in both cult and mainstream television. As with the previous dossier it consists of one full article and four shorter intervention pieces.

The authors in this dossier engage with shows ranging from /The Avengers /and /The Prisoner, /via /RuPaul's Drag Race, Will and Grace, /and /Ellen, /to /Transparent, 13 Reasons Why, Chewing Gum, /and /Insecure, /to explore multiple forms of intersectionality in the era of streaming, complementing our earlier dossier that focused more on industries, audiences, fans and binge viewing in the contemporary era. In 2020 we will follow these dossiers with a special issue that will update this conversation to where things are in the present with new engagements with TV technologies, binge viewing, and the aesthetics of a range of contemporary shows chrarcaterised by queer and/or trans aesthetitics.

The abstract for the current dossier is below:

Following the first Trans TV dossier, this dossier shifts the focus from transformations of television industries, institutions, fans and audiences to questions of queer and trans* aesthetics and representation in contemporary television. It entails an intersectional approach, but one that looks at what happens to intersectional genealogies in the era of streamed, internet-distributed television. Do the post-network or even post-medium transformations identified in the first dossier facilitate the opening of queer and trans spaces in the contemporary television landscape? Or is the evolution of television more cyclical than linear, offering both moments of transgression and emergence, as well as reaction, in relation to new technological and institutional configurations? While the focus of most of the work is on the level of representation and aesthetics, the questions raised are pertinent to understanding the new configurations of technologies, production, distribution and consumption that characterise internet-distributed television, which, in turn, need to be positioned in relation to the complex intersectional genealogies of televisual content presented in this dossier.
