Críticas:

"The definitive history of queer cinema in Canada. This book will become the reference guide of choice for a generation of film studies scholars in this country and beyond." Peter Dickinson, Simon Fraser University "This magnificent book of impeccable scholarship brings a whole new range of texts and artists into view, crosses the two linguistic solitudes, and rigorously expands our knowledge of what representation of queer sexualities are in this country." Brenda Longfellow, York University, Ontario

Reseña del editor:

From pornography to autobiography, from the Cold War to the sexual revolution, from rural roots and mythologies to the queer meccas of Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, The Romance of Transgression in Canada is a history of sexual representation on the large and small screen in English Canada and Quebec. Thomas Waugh identifies the queerness that has emerged at the centre of our national sex-obsessed cinema, filling a gap in the scholarly literature. In Part One he explores the explosive canon of artists such as Norman McLaren, Claude Jutra, Colin Campbell, Paul Wong, John Greyson, Patricia Rozema, Lea Pool, Bruce Labruce, Esther Valiquette, Marc Paradis, and Mirha-Soleil Ross. Part Two is an encyclopaedia of short essays covering 340 filmmakers, video artists, and institutions. The Romance of Transgression in Canada is both a scholarly account and a celebration of Canadian LGBTQ films - moving images that have scandalized conservative politicans, but are the envy of queer cultural festivals around the world.
