Produktbeschreibung

""Spectacular Passions" makes a compelling case for deploying psychoanalytic theory to explain gay culture's complex relationship with popular film. But, fear not, author Brett Farmer mixes Freud with fandom to produce an engaging book that is filled with insights and surprises."--Alexander Doty, Lehigh University
