In her first book since the critically acclaimed Female Masculinity (Duke UP), Judith Halberstam examines the significance of the transgender body in a provocative collection of essays on queer time and space. She presents a series of case studies focused on the meanings of masculinity in its dominant and alternative forms - especially female and trans-masculinities as they exist within subcultures, and are appropriated within mainstream culture. In a Queer Time and Place opens with a probing analysis of the life and death of Brandon Teena, a young transgender man who was brutally murdered in small-town Nebraska. After looking at mainstream representations of the transgender body as exhibited in the media frenzy surrounding this highly visible case and the Oscar-winning film based on Brandon's story, Boys Don't Cry, Halberstam turns her attention to the cultural and artistic production of queers themselves. She examines the "transgender gaze," as rendered in small art-house films like By Hook or By Crook, as well as figurations of ambiguous embodiment in the art of Del LaGrace Volcano, Jenny Saville, Eva Hesse, Shirin Neshat, and others. She then exposes the influence of lesbian drag king cultures upon hetero-male comic films, such as Austin Powers and The Full Monty, and, finally, points to dyke subcultures as one site for the development of queer counter-publics and queer temporalities. Considering the sudden visibility of the transgender body in the early twenty-first century against the backdrop of changing conceptions of space and time, In a Queer Time and Place is the first full-length study of transgender representations in art, fiction, film, video, and music. This pioneering book offers both a jumping off point for future analysis of transgenderism and an important new way to understand cultural constructions of time and place.

和讀no future有一模一樣的睏惑...為什麼queer spatiality and temporality是通過the politics of representation來分析的呢...?頭兩章提到archive of Brandon,但是對於archive這個概念又淺嘗則止,我一直期待看到對於這個archive和空間、地理政治詳盡的描述,但是作者在大篇文獻綜述之後又立馬轉而開始掰開電影和藝術。啊我覺得我甚至沒有功力去articulate好我究竟不滿在哪裏,可能究極來說我就是不滿這種研究範式?我喜歡作者的語言和分析想象力,但是如果最後自己也說想要瞭解的是queer自己的生活選擇,那這些分析又怎麼能claim是真正貼近他們的呢。。?
評分想起來前幾天讀過的 The Brandon Archive,反思瞭許多性政治與性研究中的城市中心主義,很應景...
