Love's Lesbian Refrain of Feeling: 'Bette and Tina' and the Subversion of Heterosexual Affect (78kB)

Type of Research:	Article
Creators:	Cefai, Sarah
Description:	This essay claims that the incorporation of a cultural spectrum of reflexive spectatorship into the YouTube viewing experience modified the cadence of the story that The L Word tells and variously reoriented the show both around and away from the theme of lesbian subjectification. In particular, the change in cadence brought about by fans' YouTube viewing is interpreted here as a lesbian 'refrain of feeling' that subverts the heterosexual properties ascribed to the show by its normative media context
