Locating Queerness in the Media: A New Look examines how media images of the LGBTQ community create a universal consciousness about the existence of queer people, ranging from tragic and villainous to upbeat and courageous. In this book, contributors explore how our media world invites a tension that marginalizes the LGBTQ community. It examines what a queer sensibility means and how the queer community is creating new ways to study itself. Throughout the book, contributors explore specific media images that resonate throughout the media, casting the community in a particular manner. Ultimately, its goal is to promote an understanding of the LGBTQ community.

Locating Queerness in the Media is a collection of smart essays that reckon with the hopes and frustrations queer people bring to LGBTQ media. Wide-ranging in their objects of analysis, the essays tackle contemporary media forms to ask tough questions about power, pleasure, and the politics of identity. The essays yield provocative yet careful insights into some of the most enduring issues in the field.
