K. Rowling revealed an interesting fact about beloved character Albus Dumbledore's love life. "Dumbledore is gay, actually," she said as the audience erupted in cheers. She added: "I would have told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy." Though most fans initially praised the announcement, LGBTQ fans in particular questioned why the author chose to make it informally, while never actually writing explicitly gay characters into the storylines. As it turns out, this type of bait-and-switch is fairly common between fans and creators; there's even a term for it: "queerbaiting." In this first comprehensive examination of queerbaiting, fan studies scholar Joseph Brennan and his contributors examine cases like Rowling's to shed light on the exploitative industry practice of teasing homoerotic possibilities that, while hinted at, never materialize in the program narratives. Looking at everything from popular TV series to video games to children's programs, and more, these essayists--some of the biggest names in the emerging field of fan studies--explore the consequences of the misleading practice, both for fans and creators. The result is a first-of-its-kind collection that is sure to appeal equally to fan, queer, and media studies students and scholars"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-250) and index. 650 0 $a Motion picture audiences. 650 0 $a Television viewers. 650 0 $a Fans (Persons) 650 0 $a Homosexuality in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Homosexuality on television. 650 0 $a Queer theory. 650 0 $a Sex role in mass media. 650 0 $a Mass media $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a Fans (Persons) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920677 650 7 $a Homosexuality in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959829 650 7 $a Homosexuality on television. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959836 650 7 $a Mass media $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011303 650 7 $a Motion picture audiences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027116 650 7 $a Queer theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739572 650 7 $a Sex role in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114652 650 7 $a Television viewers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01147132 776 08 $i Online version: $t Queerbaiting and fandom $d Iowa City : University of Iowa Press, 2019. $z 9781609386726 $w (DLC) 2019981078 700 1 $a Brennan, Joseph, $d 1986- $e editor. 830 0 $a Fandom & culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021902.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C6E57B2E586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
