| Abstract | "The personal, the political, and the academic regularly combine in Dyer's writings and talks, sometimes in unexpected admixtures, always in ways that provide insight. The Richard Dyer reader attempts to pay attention to all three facets, in isolation and in combination, by providing a substantive introduction to his output over a span of more than five decades. ... Dyer has used this composite voice and worldview to forge and present vital, ground-breaking contributions to a number of fields: cultural studies, film and television studies, lesbian and gay studies, whiteness studies. In the 1970s and 1980s, as he established his career and profile, he made key contributions to -- and thus helped to shape -- all of these nascent disciplines. He often did this in contrast to emerging orthodoxies."--Introduction, page 2. |
