Description de l'ouvrage :
Reprojecting the City takes a radical new look at the cinematic city through a queer perspective from the global south. Placing center-stage the intersection of dissident sexuality with capitalism, globalization and urban development, it shows how recent Latin American films rework our understandings of urban space and disrupt ‘Western’ imaginations of city life and sexuality in the majority world. Fusing a queer perspective with a range of other critical approaches, Hoff takes current debates beyond the now well-trodden narratives of dependency and subalternity to a new space in which the so-called ‘periphery’ is relocated back to the center of things. Latin American cinematic cities, emerge not merely as marginal spaces of prejudice, discrimination, exclusion and violence also ones of hope, empowerment and productive possibility firmly implicated in the global (re)production of sexualities and sexual discourses.
