  • Trabalho De Conclusão De Curso “Homoafetividade Na TV: Análise Das Séries Queer As Folk, the L Word E Looking”4
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XXXVIII Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Rio de Janeiro - RJ – 4 a 7/9/2015 Homoafetividade na TV: análise do casal Brian e Justin na série Queer As Folk1 Daniel Silveira da CRUZ2 Fabio Sadao NAKAGAWA3 Universidade Federal da Bahia, Salvador, Bahia Resumo O presente artigo analisa como os relacionamentos homoafetivos são representados em séries de televisão americanas. A pesquisa toma como objeto de análise o casal Brian e Justin de Queer As Folk. Com base em diferentes teóricos, os conceitos homossexualidade, homoerotismo e o termo homoafetividade colaboram para entender as definições acerca da atração por pessoas do mesmo sexo. Além disso, lançamos mãos da literatura sobre televisão, abordando as narrativas seriadas e um breve histórico sobre os personagens gays na TV. Palavras-chave: Queer as Folk; Homoafetividade; Homossexualidade; Séries televisuais Introdução O presente artigo é um recorte da pesquisa para o Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso “Homoafetividade na TV: análise das séries Queer As Folk, The L Word e Looking”4. O estudo foi realizado com as primeiras temporadas das séries citadas a fim de responder a questão: como são representados os casais homoafetivos em séries de TV americanas? Ou seja, de que maneira os afetos entre casais homossexuais são construídos pelas narrativas serializadas americanas? Neste artigo, abordaremos a construção da homoafetividade no casal Brian Kinney e Justin Taylor usando como corpus a primeira temporada de Queer As Folk. A série lançada em 2000 foi exibida originalmente no canal Showtime, nos Estados Unidos e no canal Showcase, no Canadá. Mostra, em cinco temporadas, histórias dos amigos gays Brian Kinney (Gale Harold), Michael Novotony (Hal Sparks), Emmet Honeycutt (Peter Page), Ted Schmidt (Scot Lowell) e Justin Taylor (Randy Harrison).

  • Queering the Family: Kinship, Blood Relations and Marriage in Showtime’S Queer As Folk Marianne Kongerslev Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
    Queering the Family: Kinship, Blood Relations and Marriage in Showtime’s Queer as Folk Marianne Kongerslev Copenhagen Business School, Denmark Abstract This essay explores the ways in which the American television series Queer as Folk (2000–2005) constructs queer families. The show responds to the social and cultural challenges faced by LGBT families and expresses differing attitudes to assimilationism and compulsory heterosexuality. By juxtaposing two traditional, though homosexual, family units with an anti-assimilationist worldview, Queer as Folk questions what family signifies. The essay analyzes the series’ treatment of gay male versus lesbian kinship and sexuality, and its assumptions about gender, through the family as a central trope. Keywords Queer as Folk (US); television series; queer studies; family; gay marriage; LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Any discussion in an American context of the notion of “family” will necessarily be complicated by the troublesome relationship between the reality of a heterogeneous population on the one hand, and the desire for homogeneity on the other. In addition, it is impossible to define with any accuracy what a family is or is supposed to be,1 but as Kath Weston points out, the “privileged construct” appears to be the heteronormative family paradigm.2 Bernstein and Reimann state that “in 1998, only 6.7 percent of all households [in the US] fit the ‘traditional’ nuclear-family model.”3 With this statistic, it can seem rather curious that the issue of gay marriage and queer families is such a controversial one. Part of the explanation may lie in the notion of national myths or idealized perceptions of imagined communities.

Recurrence, Remediation and Metatextuality in Queer As Folk Monica MICHLIN This article examines how recurrence functions diegetically within the series Queer As Folk (Showtime, 2000-2005), and how variations on the same event – the gay-bashing of Justin – are deliberately woven into the narrative. As a charged element within the soap opera framework of the series and within its political discourse, the bashing is reprised in a series of inset remediations (comics, theatrical show, storyboard to a Hollywood film, short sequences of animated film). This intermediality can be read as a form of hypertext and of multiplatform storytelling, as well as the series’ metatextual image for itself. I will argue that remediation allows the series to articulate subversive messages, both in highlighting the queer subtext in established mainstream popular culture genres (comics, action hero films) and in highlighting the series’ own singular achievement, beyond the creation of an “out” gay comics hero: the queering of soap itself.

Freymiller © 2006 Lyn J. Freymiller Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2006 The thesis of Lyn J. Freymiller was reviewed and approved* by the following: Michelle A. Miller-Day Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Thesis advisor Chair of Committee Thomas W. Benson Professor of Speech Communication and Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Rhetoric Ronald L. Jackson Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Stephanie A. Shields Professor of Psychology and Women’s Studies James P. Dillard Department Head and Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii Abstract Recently, much has been made of the prevalence of gay characters on television, but there has been little investigation of the construction of gay identity on television. Meanwhile, these gay representations are presumed to sensitize straight viewers to gay people, but little study has focused on the responses of gay viewers to portrayals of fictional gay characters. This project consists of two studies that explore portrayals of, and gay viewer responses to, gay television characters. The studies are guided by the communication theory of identity and its tenet of identity as consisting of several interrelated dimensions including personal, relational, and communal. The first study investigates three notable television texts featuring gay and lesbian characters and analyzes how the characters are constructed on various identity dimensions.
