Reviews

""The Seduction of Space is brilliantly conceived and fills a clear gap in the field of queer French film studies, namely the priority of sexuality and its links to questions of space and spatiality, relationality, and queer visual cultures more broadly. Stylishly and intelligently written, energetically argued, and eminently readable, this is sophisticated critical work of the highest order and an invaluable contribution to queer film theory and queer critical studies.""--David A. Gerstner, author of Queer Imaginings: On Writing and Cinematic Friendship ""Recalling and twisting to perverse effect the title of Henri Lefebvre's landmark work on the production of space, Jules O'Dwyer's magnificent The Seduction of Space explores the role of queer sexual desire in the production of spatial relations. O'Dwyer engages intimately with French queer film culture to produce a pioneering book that interweaves French cinema, film theory, queer studies, and spatial thought.""--Sarah Cooper, author of Film and the Imagined Image
