Queer Cinema from Spain and France: the translation of desire and the formation of transnational queer identities

该项目侧重于跨国性行为及其在电影中的表现。它以西班牙和法国（作为制作、发行和接收地）和英国（作为发行和接收地）为中心，并以女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别和酷儿电影及其观众/观众为中心。在先前关于电影跨国化过程的电影历史工作的基础上，以及最近对酷儿文化身份的思考转变，该项目研究了1990年至今在酷儿文化和酷儿电影概念的背景下，电影和电影制作人跨欧洲交通的具体案例。它探讨了：欲望形成意象的可译性问题；与品味、幻想、欲望和价值观相关的受众、批评接受和文化翻译问题在国家和跨国背景下，文化流动与酷儿身份的形成和表现之间的关系。它与AHRC关于文化翻译的新兴主题的各个方面密切匹配，并有可能与其中的发展联系起来。工作内容包括：档案和网络调查（包括在线论坛和粉丝网站）；节日拜访;电影及表演分析；还有受众调查。该项目将通过以下方式推进受众研究的现状：参与四种语言（西班牙语、法语、加泰罗尼亚语、英语）的媒体制作及其接收；通过各种数字和实体受众地点招募参与者；关注酷儿电影制作，既记录当地（描绘次国家身份），又借鉴全球（借用，翻译，转移，经常是异国情调的外国酷儿生活模式）。电影和表演的分析将考虑到话语和理论的性别和差异。观众调查和以节日为基础的展示直接涉及到各地的酷儿社区。具体来说，分析将包括法国对佩德罗Almodóvar、文图拉·庞斯、玛尔塔Balletbó-Coll、塞斯克·盖伊等人的电影的反应；在西班牙，有弗朗索瓦·奥松、塞巴斯蒂安·利夫希茨、安德烈·特希涅、乔西恩·巴拉斯科、奥利维尔·杜卡斯特和雅克·马蒂诺等人的电影；而在英国，则是一系列利基市场和以节日为基础的法国和西班牙酷儿电影（以各种形式）。两位调查员在酷儿文化分析方面有着丰富的记录，并汇集了互补的相关专业领域，如资源的理由和支持案例中进一步详细介绍的那样。计划在项目期间开始制作一部联合撰写的专著、七篇文章、六篇会议论文和一系列当地演讲和讨论小组，并在头三个月内完成另一部相关的专著（利用先前的制度支持休假）。

The project focuses on transnational sexualities and their representation in cinema. It homes in on Spain and France (as sites of production, distribution and reception) and Britain (as a site of distribution and reception), and on lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer films and their audiences/viewers. Building on previous film historical work on the processes of transnationalization of cinema and on recent shifts in thinking about queer cultural identities, the project examines specific cases of the trans-European traffic of films and film makers in the context of the notions of queer culture and queer cinema and in the period 1990 to the present day. It examines: the question of the translatability in images of formations of desire; questions of audience and critical reception and cultural translation in relation to taste, fantasy, desire and values; the relationship between cultural flows and the formation and representation of queer identities in national and transnational contexts. It has a close match to aspects of the AHRC Emerging Theme on Translating Cultures and the potential to link with developments therein.The work involves: archival and web-based investigation (including on-line forums and fan sites); festival visits; film and performance analysis; and audience research. The project will advance the current state of audience research by: engaging with media production and its reception across four languages (Spanish, French, Catalan, English); recruiting its participants across a range of digital and physical audience locations; focusing on queer cinematic production which both chronicles the local (in portraying sub-national identities) and draws on the global (borrowing, translating, transferring, and often exoticising foreign models of queer life). Analyses of the films and performances will take into account discourses and theories of sexuality and difference. The audience research and festival-based presentations directly involve queer communities in a range of locations. Specifically, analysis will include responses in France to the films of Pedro Almodóvar, Ventura Pons, Marta Balletbó-Coll, Cesc Gay, and others; in Spain of the films of François Ozon, Sebastien Lifshitz, André Techiné, Josiane Balasko, Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau and others; and in Britain to a range of niche-market and festival-based queer French and Spanish cinema (in various formats). The two Investigators have a substantial record in queer cultural analysis and bring together complementary, relevant areas of expertise, as further detailed in the Justification of Resources and the Case for Support.One joint-authored monograph, seven articles, six conference papers, and a range of local presentations and discussion groups are planned for production starting within the period of the project with a further , linked monograph brought to completion during the first three months (capitalizing on preceding, institutionally supported leave).
