Queer/Adaptation by Pamela Demory

The book includes discussion of a wide variety of texts, including opera, classic film, genre fiction, documentary, musicals, literary fiction, low-budget horror, camp classics, and experimental texts, providing a comprehensive and interdisciplinary introduction to the myriad ways in which queer and adaptation overlap.

“Eschewing moralistic connotations associated with LGBTQ lives, here, promiscuity unyokes binaries of sexuality and gender, while alluding to the intellectual pleasure and possible ‘erotic charge’ of intertextual engagementBy extension, queer/adaptation scholarship should stimulate similar responses; so, in an act of critical promiscuity I read, viewed, or re-experienced all of the material I could locate, seeking pleasure by matching my observations with those of the essayists.” (David Pellegrini, Adaptation, August 14, 2020)
