Release Date: 2024-04-16
This book is a collection of 13 essays centering on supernatural serials such as television programs, video games, anime, and manga, featuring teen protagonists and marketed to teen audiences. These essays provide discussions of characters in teen supernatural serials who disrupt white, cisgender social narratives, and addresses possible ways that the on-screen depictions of these characters, who may be POC or LGBTQIA+, can lead to additional discussions of more accurate representations of the Other in the media. This collection explores depictions of characters of color and/or LGBTQ characters in teen supernatural serials who were/are marginalized and examines the possible issues that these depictions can raise on a social level and, possibly, a developmental level for audience members who belong to these communities. The essays included in this collection thoroughly examine these characters and their narratives while providing nuanced examinations of how the media chooses to represent teens of color and LGBTQIA+ teens.

Queer and Femme Gazes in AfroAsian American Visual Culture
Queer and Femme Gazes in AfroAsian American Visual Culture is a scholarly collection that takes comparative Black-Asian representations in televisual culture from queer and femme perspectives. AfroAsian representations on screen—as well as their attendant critical gazes—have historically emphasized cross-racial masculinities at the expense of queer and/or femme visions. The prevalence of these previous televisual artefacts—and the ways they have been watched—has contributed directly to white heteronormative legacies within film and visual studies. The collection intervenes by excavating the intimacies and political possibilities within AfroAsian femme, queer, and transgender life. The authors offer alternative ways of looking at racial representation in their attendance to developments in AfroAsian visual culture: music videos, video games, genre serials, and independent and short films.
