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

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.
