- Summary:
- "Jules O'Dwyer draws film theory, queer studies, and spatial inquiry into proximity to examine the politics of cruising and the gendering of space through the work of French queer filmmakers. Foregrounding the crucial role that spatiality plays in shaping the parameters of France's visual cultures and political imaginary, The Seduction of Space is both an urgent queer reconceptualization of this tradition and a clarion call for film scholars to tarry with the politics of sexuality in all its messiness"-- Provided by publisher.
