Abstract

Films produce body images that have a considerable influence on images of self, identity constructs, and the exclusion of specific models for identification. The collection at hand accordingly questions the medium of film with regard to the inherent gendered coding and gendered labeling of its materiality. The editors also succeed in linking film analysis with queer theory and other intersecting categories. In so doing, they examine the filmic protagonists, the constellations of roles, and the storylines according to their gender-specific implications.
