Reviews
""In his landmark publication ^lBike Boys, Drag Queens, and Superstars, Juan Suárez pried open avant-garde cinema to a long overdue reckoning with its queerness. In his revelatory new book, this most dynamic scholar compels us to reconsider it again, not only as a movement in which queer bodies and sex abound, but as one that queers our experience of the material world, down to the very grain of celluloid film. Only the brilliant Suárez could compel shit and glitter to yield such profound insights."" -- Ara Osterweil, author of Flesh Cinema: The Corporeal Turn in Avant-Garde Film""Juan Suárez's new book on queer materiality in experimental film is fiercely original, thrillingly insightful and simply a great joy to read. Through a series of stunning readings and revelatory theoretical elaborations, Suárez makes a brilliant case for the myriad ways that sexuality is enmeshed in the object world of everyday life. He shows us how glitter, amphetamines, Ben-Day dots, brightly colored plastic and other materials of post-war consumer capital were essential elements of the sexual worlds presented by filmmakers like Kenneth Anger, Jack Smith, Marie Menken, the Kuchar Brothers, and Andy Warhol. In so doing, Suárez makes a major contribution to queer theory and film studies."" -- Jonathan Flatley, author of Like Andy Warhol

Synopsis
Often described as an art of abstraction and subjective introspection, experimental film also channeled the queer latency of modern material culture and embedded sexual and social dissidence in the objects, technologies, substances, and spaces that make up the hardware of experience. Combining history, formal analysis, and theoretical reflection, Experimental Film and Queer Materiality shows how plastics, glitter, mechanical ensembles, urban ruins, garbage, amphetamine, film grain, and noise have been mobilized in the articulation of queerness for the screen., Often described as an art of abstraction and subjective introspection, experimental film is also invested in exploring daily objects and materials and in channeling, in the process, a peculiar perception of the modern everyday that this book calls queer materiality. Queer materiality designates the queer latency of modern material culture, which often inspired queer artists and filmmakers to envision wayward bodies and behaviors, and refers to the way in which sexual and social dissidence was embedded in the objects, technologies, substances, and spaces that make up the hardware of experience. This book studies a rich archive of queer material engagements in work by well-known filmmakers such as Andy Warhol, Barbara Hammer, Carolee Schneemann, and Jack Smith as well as under-recognized figures such as Tom Chomont, Jim Hubbard, Ashley Hans Scheirl, and Teo Hernández. Combining history, formal analysis, and theoretical reflection, author Juan A. Suárez shows how plastics, glitter, mechanical ensembles, urban ruins, garbage, amphetamine, film grain, and noise have been mobilized in the articulation of queerness for the screen.

- r***g (243)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.
- e***u (283)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- a***a (419)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis 2DVD set is in perfect condition. Cover art and case like new. Both DVDs played with no flaws. Description was listed as “Good”; I would describe it as “Very Good”, basically Like New. Delivery was super fast and packaging was excellent. The DVD case was wrapped well, then put in a cardboard envelope that was sturdy and hard to open (this is NOT a negative!). I have purchased from this company a few times and have always been very satisfied. Prices are great.
