Taylor & Francis Queering Religion Religious Queers
Book SynopsisThis collection considers how religious identity interplays with other forms and contexts of identity, specifically those related to sexual identity. It asks how these intersections are formed, negotiated and resisted across time and places, including the UK, Europe, North America, Australia, and the Global South. Questions around queer' engagements in same-sex marriages, civil partnerships and other practices (e.g. adoption) have created a number of provoking stances and policy provisions but what remains unanswered is how people experience and situate themselves within sometimes competing, or contradictory', moments as religious queers' who may be tasked with queering religion'. Additionally, the presumed paradoxes of marriage', queer sexuality, religion and youth combine to generate a noteworthy generational absence. This leads to questions about where religious queers' reside, resist and relate experiences of intersecting religious and sexual lives. In looking at Trade Review"The book sets itself the certainly difficult but fascinating task of combining what has been so far discussed as largely antagonistic categories – religion and sexual orientation. It does so eloquently, fulfilling a gap in the academic literature, as well as responding to a political and ethical need to engage with difference and intersections along the complex spectrum of identity." – Ana Cristina Santos, University of Coimbra, Portugal"The social and spatial accommodation of both religious and sexual identities has become a significant political flashpoint for societies and their governments in the contemporary West and beyond. This important collection addresses the intersections of religious and sexual identities for individuals, religious institutions, and socio-legal systems. Collectively, the chapters explore these intersections across a breadth of belief systems and geographical contexts. The authors ask vital questions about methodologies, institutions, locations and intersecting affirmations. This collection will be of interest to scholars, teachers, students and policy-makers concerned with understanding the varied landscapes, tensions and accommodations arising from the intersections of religion and sexuality." – Andrew Gorman-Murray, University of Western Sydney, AustraliaTable of ContentsForeword: Outing Religion in LGBT Studies Jodi O'Brien Foreword 2: A Geographical Commentary Andrew Gorman-Murray and Catherine J.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Neoliberalism and Global Cinema
Book SynopsisIn cinema studies today, rarely do we find a direct investigation into the culture of capitalism and how it has been refracted and fabricated in global cinema production under neoliberalism. However, the current economic crisis and the subsequent Wall Street bailout in 2008 have brought about a worldwide skepticism regarding the last four decades of economic restructuring and the culture that has accompanied it. In this edited volume, an international ensemble of scholars looks at neoliberalism, both as culture and political economy, in the various cinemas of the world. In essays encompassing the cinemas of Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and the United States the authors outline how the culture and subjectivities engendered by neoliberalism have been variously performed, contested, and reinforced in these cinemas. The premise of this book is that the cultural and economic logic of neoliberalism, i.e., the radical financialization and market-driven calculations, of all facets of sTable of ContentsSection 1: Hollywood and Global Dominance 1. ‘For a better deal, Harass Your Governor!’: Neoliberalism and Hollywood, Toby Miller and Richard Maxwell 2.
