a guide to wlw period pieces (tv edition)

a crash crash course on the golden age of hollywood

to state the obvious, this is not meant to be a be all end all guide. it’s just a start for people who wanna know more about some of the essentials of the era. there’s plenty of people and movies i didn’t include but at least now you can listen to vogue and understand all the references.

The vampire is an outsider. He’s the perfect metaphor for those things. He’s someone who looks human and sounds human, but is not human, so he’s always on the margins. -Anne Rice

Adrienne Shelly in Trust (1990)

“Cinema is public fantasy that engages spectators’ particular, private scripts of desire and identification. Equally at stake in spectatorship are the way organized images and sounds psychically imprint us and the way they mediate social identities and histories. Because Hollywood films are part of public culture that addresses women, and because they do so through representations of Women invested with desire, they work with material—cultural and psychic―that engages lesbian fantasy. Without projecting our current experiences of lesbian identity and sociality onto the past, still we can recognize that mass culture spoke to women in ways influenced by the historical emergence of lesbian culture and the forms it has taken. Hollywood films have in part constructed our desire; the work of our readings of these films and the discourses and practices surrounding them is to construct the conditions of our own representability.

The retrospective dimension of spectatorship persists in a current mass cultural climate in which the terms of lesbian representability and of "membership” have shifted drastically. Not only have lesbian representations proliferated, the audience for them has itself become visible―at least as a consumer demographic. Today’s unprecedented lesbian and gay media visibility illuminates the reading practices that formerly sustained viewers in the face of invisibility.“

-Excerpt from Uninvited: Classical Hollywood Cinema and Lesbian Representability by Patricia White

“In a hundred years of movies, homosexuality has only rarely been depicted on the screen. When it did appear, it was there as something to laugh at, or something to pity, or even something to fear. These were fleeting images, but they were unforgettable, and they left a lasting legacy. Hollywood, that great maker of myths, taught straight people what to think about gay people… and gay people what to think about themselves.” (The Celluloid Closet, 1996)
