"A Companion to Lesbian, Gay Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Studies is the first single-volume survey of current discussions taking place in this rapidly developing area of study. --The Companion breaks new ground for scholarship on gender and sexuality. Recognizing the multidisciplinary nature of the field, the editors gathered original essays by established and emerging scholars, addressing the politics, economics, history, and cultural impact of sexuality. The book engages the futures of queer studies by asking what sexuality stands in for, what work it does, and how it continues to structure discussions in various academic disciplines as well as contemporary politics. --Book Jacket."

"Homosexuality has become a common issue nowadays that can be easily encountered in many television shows. This paper examines how the issue of homosexuality is being approached in BBC's Sherlock and its fan-produced fan-fiction. It is interesting that even though the show does not attempt to offer queer representation through its plot lines, there are several queer subtexts that can be found within the show. These queer subtexts work subtly in subverting heteronormative assumptions, and they create recognizable representations of queerness in a form of the show's fan-produced fan-fiction. The show is analyzed using queer theory, and focuses on underlying tone of homoeroticism presented within the episodes between the two main characters Sherlock and John. Meanwhile, the fan-fiction is analyzed by using representation theory (1995) by Stuart Hall. The queer theory (1993) used in this article mainly consists of the definitions and concepts provided by Judith Butler. There are two major points that this paper attempts to make. The first one is to discuss homosexuality subtext represented within several episodes of the show. Sherlock, a detective series, presents several scenes that can be read using queer theory. Secondly, this paper attempts to discuss how fan-produced fan-fiction of BBC's Sherlock is able to approach homosexuality by negotiating the nature of relationship between the two characters mentioned previously."

"ABSTRAKSebagai salah satu episode paling populer dari serial televisi fiksi ilmiah asal Inggris, San Junipero dipandang sebagai salah satu episode serial Black Mirror yang menarik untuk dianalisis, terlebih dari segi sains dan teknologi, karena adanya penggunaan teknologi virtual canggih didalamnya. Meskipun demikian, pembahasan tentang isu-isu LGBT dalam serial televisi fiksi seperti ilmiah Black Mirror masih jarang ditemukan. Dengan menggunakan metode analisis mise-en-scènes untuk menelaah aspek-aspek sinematografis seperti latar, warna, kostum, teknik kamera, serta akting, sekaligus metode analisis literatur untuk menelaah keberadaan serta karakteristik tokoh-tokoh LGBT di dalamnya, tulisan ini mencoba menelaah aspek-aspek heteronormatif yang masih bertahan di balik imej celebration of queerness yang diakui oleh para penggemar episode ini. Dari hasil analisis, nilai-nilai heteronormativitas masih tercermin di dalam episode ini karena, faktanya, kedua karakter LGBT di dalamnya masih ditampilkan secara stereotipikal. Eksistensi karakter-karakter LGBT di dalam episode ini juga ternyata sesuai dengan kritik Rich (1980) tentang latar belakang eksistensi lesbian yang berkaitan dengan heteronormativitas.

ABSTRACTAs one of the episodes from the famous sci-fi British TV series, San Junipero has become one of the most interesting episodes from Black Mirror series to be analyzed, specifically from the perspective of science and technology, for its mind-blowing VR-based invention. Nevertheless, the aspect of gender and LGBT issues has not been commonly explored in sci-fi literature like Black Mirror. Using mise-en-scène as an approach to analyze some of the cinematographic elements, (setting, color, costume, camera work and performance) as well as analyzing the queer characters, this article tries to identify the heteronormative elements that still persist under the image of a celebration of queerness the episode has received from the fans. Apparently, heteronormativity is still depicted in the episode for the fact that the queer characters are still portrayed rather stereotypically according to several studies about the representation of queer characters in the media discussed by Seifs (2013). As a heterotopia, according to Foucaults (1986), the establishment of the queer characters in San Junipero also fit Richs (1980) critique towards the lesbian existence in relation to compulsory heteronormativity that queer romance exists through melancholy. Nevertheless, not all aspects in the episode scream pure heteronormativity. Although at first glance it seems stereotypical, the queer characters appearance seem to help establishing a non-stereotypical identity in female-female relationship."
