Liberation Porn --Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --Filmography --IndexIn Coming Together, Ryan Powell captures the social and political vitality of the first wave of movies made by, for, and about male-desiring men in the United States between World War II and the 1980s. From the underground films of Kenneth Anger and the Gay Girls Riding Club to the gay liberation-era hardcore films and domestic dramas of Joe Gage and James Bidgood, Powell illuminates how central filmmaking and exhibition were to gay socializing and worldmaking. Unearthing scores of films and a trove of film-related ephemera, Coming Together persuasively unsettles popular histories that center Stonewall as a ground zero for gay liberation and visibility. Powell asks how this generation of movie-making-which defiantly challenged legal and cultural norms around sexuality and gender-provided, and may still provide, meaningful models for living.Homosexuality in motion picturesGay people in motion picturesMotion picturesSocial aspectsGay men in mass mediahomoithttps://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0004011Gay cinemahomoithttps://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0002330Gay filmshomoithttps://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0002331LGBTQ+ cinemahomoithttps://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0002327LGBTQ+ filmshomoithttps://homosaurus.org/v4/homoit0000869Homosexuality in motion pictures.Gay people in motion pictures.Motion picturesSocial aspects.Gay men in mass media.Gay cinema.Gay films.LGBTQ+ cinema.LGBTQ+ films.321.0230973Powell Ryanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1805340DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910968334203321Coming Together4353871UNINA
