About The Book

Cinesexuality explores the queerness of cinema spectatorship arguing that cinema spectatorship represents a unique encounter of desire pleasure and perversion beyond dialectics of subject/object and image/meaning; an extraordinary 'cinesexual' relationship that encompasses each event of cinema spectatorship in excess of gender hetero- or homosexuality encouraging all spectators to challenge traditional notions of what elicits pleasure and constitutes desiring subjectivity. Through a variety of cinematic examples including abstract film extreme films and films which present perverse sexuality and corporeal reconfiguration Cinesexuality encourages a radical shift to spectatorship as itself inherently queer beyond what is watched and who watches. Film as its own form of philosophy invokes spectatorship thought as an ethics of desire. Original exciting and theoretically sophisticated - focusing on continental philosophy particularly Guattari Deleuze Blanchot Foucault Lyotard Irigaray and Serres - the book will be of interest to scholars and students of queer gender and feminist studies film and aesthetics theory cultural studies media and communication post-structural theory and contemporary philosophical thought.
