Description
Cinesexuality explores the queerness of cinema spectatorship, arguing that this experience represents a unique encounter of desire, pleasure and perversion. By examining various cinematic examples, including abstract film, extreme films and those presenting perverse sexuality and corporeal reconfiguration, the book challenges traditional notions of what elicits pleasure and constitutes desiring subjectivity. Through its analysis, Cinesexuality encourages a radical shift in understanding spectatorship as inherently queer, beyond what is watched and who watches. This perspective is grounded in continental philosophy, drawing on key thinkers such as Guattari, Deleuze, Blanchot, Foucault, Lyotard, Irigaray and Serres. This 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.
