Queer Animation

July 28th, 2008

Via SXNEWS
American Gender Theorist Judith “Jack” Halberstam going to Sydney, August 1st, to deliver a lecture, titled “Queer Animation” at the Powerhouse Museum.
From the site:

“Halberstam will discuss the themes of social transgression and queer identity that permeate recent Computer Generated Image (CGI) animation in films such as Finding Nemo.

“I will link new technology to queerness and to radical ways of reimagining the world,” Halberstam told SX. Halberstam will also show clips from selected Pixar classics.”

Sounds pretty intriguing. If you’d like to read more, please go to the SXNEWS site.
