'Politics is theater': Performance, Sexuality and Milk

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Published conference proceedingChapter

    Abstract

    What does it mean to "play gay"? This chapter seeks to answer this question by examining not only Sean Penn's performance of homosexuality in Milk (Gus Van Sant 2008), but also the politics of that performance which, I argue, is inseparable from the identity of the performer.
