Synopsis

This is an excellent and timely book that makes a valuable contribution to the field of bisexual studies. The range of genres covered in this book, and the ways in which authors have been able to site their discussions in similar theoretical ground (liminality, erasure, stereotypes) without the discussions ever feeling repetitive, is impressive. Instead, each chapter sheds new light on these complex topics. This book will be essential reading for academics, students, and general audiences seeking to make sense of the ways in which bisexuality is represented in popular culture.”
- Dr Helen Bowes-Catton, Senior Lecturer, The Open University, UK

This book explores the multifaceted representations of bisexuality within the cultural imagination, focusing on how bisexuality is portrayed and understood through literature, television, and media. By examining these diverse forms, this collection addresses the critical need to understand bisexuality’s crucial role in shaping societal perceptions of sexual identity.

Bisexuality and Popular Culture considers how bisexuality disrupts traditional binaries and offers new frameworks for understanding bisexual identity.
