Ian Fleishman exposes a tradition of flamingly \u003ci\u003efailed passing\u003c\/i\u003e that is itself a surreptitious mode of passing: the flaunting of queer style as an intentionally unconvincing cover for queer content. Exploring a corpus of films and novels by AndrÉ Gide, Jean Genet, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Schroeter, FranÇois Ozon, and Xavier Dolan, among others, \u003ci\u003eFlamboyant Fictions: The Failed Art of Passing \u003c\/i\u003eintervenes in trenchant debates about queer agency, visibility, negativity, and disidentification. Mapping queer strategies of storytelling onto queer practices of self-invention, \u003ci\u003eFlamboyant Fictions \u003c\/i\u003ewagers that it is precisely in instances of conflict between these auteurs and their inventions that narrative becomes a laboratory for testing the sovereignty and self-determination of queer identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55637984772470,"sku":"9780810148031","price":26.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_34851608.jpg?v=1750299859","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780810148031-flamboyant-fictions","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
