Afetos transitórios: Romances realistas e utopias homonormati-vas no cinema queer contemporâneo

Abstract

Based on a work of literature review, this paper investigates the main recurring aspects of contemporary queer cinema, specifically features starring and/or directed by LGBTQIA+ persons in the last decade. The starting point is a number of authors who, inspired by B. Ruby Rich’s work in characterizing the New Queer Cinema movement in the 1990s, set out to identify which political and aesthetic aspects stand out in the current queer filmography – and how they reflect the LGBTQIA+ community’s present moment. Once their theories are put in dialog, it becomes clear how, through the recurrence of a realistic approach to narratives of romantic frustration, movies like Weekend and End of the Century reflect upon homonormativity, privilege, and modes of existence in the current queer experience. By highlighting these parallels, these authors show how contemporary films reform New Queer Cinema’s references – and which concept of queer cinema they elaborate on the screen.
