ABSTRACT

The heightened visibility of LGBTQ documentaries is often viewed within critical contexts of New Queer Cinema: B. Ruby Rich’s intervention which highlighted an urgency among a new kind of practice, identifying trends across queer film and video. This article explores contours of new queer documentary which played an important role in New Queer Cinema, re-examining ways that queer nonfiction film and video evolved out of distinctive relations to the history and traditions of the documentary form, its established practices, and commonly-held social functions. This approach underlines ways that this work’s often intense evocations of sexuality and bodily sentience as experienced across private and public space marked a crucial moment in what David Howes calls a transdisciplinary sensorial revolution. Keeping mobile and productive cross-pollinations of practice and theory in frame, this article explores emerging vocabularies for the cinematic experience by distilling components, here summed up as intimacy, gesture, and magnitude, of new queer documentary that operated not in opposition to but as part of a transvaluation of documentary’s long-established associations. With a focus on the fraught politics of new queer documentary in US contexts, these concepts are analysed through key filmmakers, including Barbara Hammer, Tom Joslin, and Marlon Riggs. 

摘要

LGBTQ纪录片的知名度通常是在新酷儿电影院的关键语境中查看的：B. Ruby Rich的干预突显了一种新实践的紧迫性，它确定了同志电影和视频中的趋势。本文探讨了在新酷儿电影院中扮演重要角色的新酷儿纪录片的轮廓，重新审视了从与纪录片形式的历史和传统，既定惯例以及普遍存在的独特关系中演变出的非小说类电影和录像带的方式。担任社会职务。这种方法强调了这种工作在私人和公共场所所经历的对性和身体情感的强烈唤起，标志着大卫·豪斯所说的跨学科感官革命的关键时刻。为了使实践和理论的流动性和生产性交叉授粉保持在框架中，本文通过提炼新奇特的纪录片的组成部分来探讨电影经验的新兴词汇，在此归纳为亲密，笔势和幅度，这些新纪录片的运作并非与之相反，而与之相反。纪录片历史悠久的协会的重估的一部分。着眼于美国背景下新奇纪录片的生硬政治，这些概念通过包括Barbara Hammer，Tom Joslin和Marlon Riggs在内的主要电影制片人进行了分析。一部新奇的纪录片，其运作并非与纪录片长期存在的关联相反，而是对其进行重新估价的一部分。着眼于美国背景下新奇纪录片的生硬政治，这些概念通过包括Barbara Hammer，Tom Joslin和Marlon Riggs在内的主要电影制片人进行了分析。一部新奇的纪录片，其运作并非与纪录片长期存在的关联相反，而是对其进行重新估价的一部分。着眼于美国背景下新奇纪录片的生硬政治，这些概念通过包括Barbara Hammer，Tom Joslin和Marlon Riggs在内的主要电影制片人进行了分析。
