What is In a Queer Time and Place : Transgender Bodies, Subcultural Lives about?

**The first full-length study of transgender representations in art, fiction, film, video, and music** In her first book since the critically acclaimed __Female Masculinity__, Judith Halberstam examines the significance of the transgender body in a provocative collection of essays on queer time and space. She presents a series of case studies focused on the meanings of masculinity in its dominant and alternative forms’ especially female and trans-masculinities as they exist within subcultures, and are appropriated within mainstream culture. **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 LaGrac
