Throughout this edgy volume, San Filippo examines a myriad of controversial strategies--including "real sexscenes, scandalous marketing campaigns, full-frontal nudity, troubling texts, and divisive figures--to reveal the critical role that sexual provocation plays as a promotional strategy and authorial signature within the contemporary media landscape.
Often disguised in public discourse by terms like "e;gay,"e; "e;homoerotic,"e; "e;homosocial,"e; or "e;queer,"e; bisexuality is strangely absent from queer studies and virtually untreated in film and media criticism. Maria San Filippo aims to explore the central role bisexuality plays in contemporary screen culture, establishing its importance in representation, marketing, and spectatorship. By examining a variety of media genres including art cinema, sexploitation cinema and vampire films, "e;bromances,"e; and series television, San Filippo discovers "e;missed moments"e; where bisexual readings of these texts reveal a more malleable notion of subjectivity and eroticism. San Filippo's work moves beyond the subject of heteronormativity and responds to "e;compulsory monosexuality,"e; where it's not necessarily a couple's gender that is at issue, but rather that an individual chooses one or the other. The B Word transcends dominant relational formation (gay, straight, or otherwise) and brings a discursive voice to the field of queer and film studies.
