In a Queer Time and Place opens with a probing analysis of the life and death of Brandon
Teena, a young transgender man who was brutally murdered in small-town Nebraska. After
looking at mainstream representations of the transgender body as exhibited in the
media frenzy surrounding this highly visible case and the Oscar-winning film based
on Brandon's story, Boys Don't Cry, Halberstam turns her attention to the cultural
and artistic production of queers themselves. She examines the "transgender gaze,"
as rendered in small art-house films like By Hook or By Crook, as well as figurations
of ambiguous embodiment in the art of Del LaGrace Volcano, Jenny Saville, Eva Hesse,
Shirin Neshat, and others. She then exposes the influence of lesbian drag king cultures
upon hetero-male comic films, such as Austin Powers and The Full Monty, and, finally,
points to dyke subcultures as one site for the development of queer counterpublics
and queer temporalities. Considering the sudden visibility of the transgender body
in the early twenty-first century against the backdrop of changing conceptions of
space and time, In a Queer Time and Place is the first full-length study of transgender
representations in art, fiction, film, video, and music. This pioneering book offers
both a jumping off point for future analysis of transgenderism and an important new
way to understand cultural constructions of time and place
