Synopsis "Performing Place in French and Italian Queer Documentary Film: Space and Proust's Lieu Factice "

This book focuses on queer documentary cinema in post-Millennial France and Italy, analyzing a selection of key texts positioned within important social, political and cultural debates of the period?such as those relating to the accommodation of ?difference?, gay marriage and adoption, and marginalized transgender identities. It employs the optic of Marcel Proust?s notion of the "lieu factice" (artificial place) from Du côté de chez Swann in order to consider how this cinema performs and interrogates "place", challenging hegemonic discourse on gender and sexuality and the occupation of space. In linking Proust's "lieu factice" to queer performance and agency, and processes of documentary representation, Oliver Brett works through the key texts in order to evince their particular ?queerness?. Engaging critically with the traditions of European cinema, the films under analysis not only account for a significant moment in the representation of queer realities in France and Italy but also challenge the confidence with which Anglo-American interpretations of ?queer? assert their authority.
