Bøker av Ellis Hanson

Brings together the work of both film scholars and queer theorists to advance a sophisticated notion of queer film criticism. This book includes essays that examine an array of films, including Calamity Jane, Rear Window, The Hunger, Heavenly Creatures, and Bound.

The decadents-including Wilde, Baudelaire, Huysmans, Pater, and Verlaine-found in the Catholic Church a peculiar language that gave them a means of artistic and sexual expression. Hanson shows how Catholicism offered both the hysterical symptom and the last hope for paganism amid the dullness of Victorian puritanism and bourgeois materialism.
