It argues that embodied cinematic representations of the queer migrant constitute an urgent new repertoire of queer subjectivities and socialities that undermine the patrolled borders of gender and sexuality, nationhood and citizenship, and refigure or queer fixed notions and universals of identity. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 278 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 28 August 2020\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis captivating and groundbreaking volume presents the first comprehensive critical examination of the recent surge in European films and television that delve into the lives and experiences of LGBTIQ+ migrants and refugees. Queering the Migrant in Contemporary European Cinema posits that embodied cinematic representations of queer migrants, even when they exhibit ambiguity and controversy, represent a vital and innovative repertoire of queer subjectivities and socialities that challenge the rigid boundaries of gender and sexuality, nationhood, and citizenship. At the core of this ethical and political dilemma lies the development of a \"transborder consciousness and aesthetics\" that counteract the homonationalist, xenophobic, and homo\/trans-phobic portrayal of the \"migrant to Europe\" figure, which is deeply entrenched in harmful binaries such as othering (the good vs. bad migrant, host vs. guest, indigenous vs. foreigner).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing together 16 esteemed contributors from diverse national film traditions and employing a wide range of theoretical frameworks, this remarkable and timely collection holds immense appeal to scholars and students in the fields of Film and Media Studies, Gender and Queer Studies, Migration\/Mobility Studies, Cultural Studies, and Aesthetics. By exploring the complexities and nuances of sexual migration and its impact on individuals and communities, this book offers valuable insights into the ever-evolving landscape of gender, sexuality, and identity in contemporary Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 606g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 165 x 241 x 23 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367209384                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104873345274,"sku":"9780367209384","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/f42626ce408e95ba33c96a664ce69032.jpg?v=1623915403","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/queering-the-migrant-in-contemporary-european-cinema","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
