Queering Russian Media and Culture, Paperback / softback Book

Queering Russian Media and Culture Paperback / softback

Edited by Galina (Cardiff University, United Kingdom) Miazhevich

Part of the Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book explores how queerness and representations of queerness in media and culture are responding to the shifting socio-political, cultural and legal conditions in post-Soviet Russia, especially in the light of the so-called ‘antigay’ law of 2013.

Based on extensive original research, the book outlines developments historically both before and after the fall of the Soviet Union and provides the background to the 2013 law.

It discusses the proliferating alternative visions of gender and sexuality, which are increasingly prevalent in contemporary Russia.

The book considers how these are represented in film, personal diaries, photography, theatre, protest art, fashion and creative industries, web series, news media and how they relate to the ‘traditional values’ rhetoric.

Overall, the book provides a rich and detailed, yet complex insight into the developing nature of queerness in contemporary Russia.
