Spectacular Passions: Cinema, Fantasy, Gay Male Spectatorships

"Brett Farmer's eloquent study of gay male spectatorship in relationship to classical Hollywood cinema is challenging and far-reaching. Spectacular Passionsencourages readers to imagine and re-imagine the dream machine of cinema as very different than standard heterocentric accounts of Hollywood would suggest. Taking psychoanalytic approaches to fantasy as his point of departure, Farmer demonstrates the complex and fascinating connections between gay male desire and Hollywood cinema."-Judith Mayne, author ofCinema and SpectatorshipBrett Farmer is the author of 'Spectacular Passions: Cinema, Fantasy, Gay Male Spectatorships', published 2000 under ISBN 9780822325598 and ISBN 0822325594.
