SAMPLE
註釋
Rivers, swimming pools, lakes, and oceans: these watery spaces recur with remarkable frequency in recent queer Latin American cinema, urging us to question the intimacies between queerness and the aquatic. Unpredictable and uncontrollable, water reflects a natural fluidity in our sexual desires and orientations; it is both a space and a substance, one in which bodies surrender themselves to the natural forces of currents and flows. As the first book to investigate water's queer cinematic potential,
Bodies of Water
proposes that we think not only
about
water but also
through
it, illuminating new directions for the study of queer world cinema and its evolving aesthetic strategies.
Bodies of Water
engages critically with theories of cinematic embodiment and recent work in queer theory and the environmental humanities, foregrounding a region of the world historically overlooked in global discussions of queerness. By examining the radical queer epistemologies that emerge at the convergence of body, camera, and water,
Bodies of Water
ultimately poses a question of both critical and sociopolitical concern: what's so queer about cinematic waters?
