Summary

Transgender on Screen explores the cultural representations of transvestism and transsexuality in modern screen media, against an essential historical background. This fascinating and original study examines how cross-dressers and transsexuals are represented in three different film genres - comedies, thrillers and mixed genre productions. Relying on psychoanalytic, queer and other post-modern theories, the book considers the influence of these cultural representations in the context of an increasingly problematic distinction between the worlds of the imagination and reality, demonstrating the interdependency of our perceptions of transgender and its culturally constructed images.
