"An autobiography-viewing the author's life from the transformative lens of her recent transition-and a critical examination of the trans strain in Western culture"--

In ihrer Serie "Roller Coaster. Scenes from a Marriage" beschreibt die US-Fotografin Aimee McCrory zahlreiche Momente einer Langzeitbeziehung radikal ehrlich, aber auch humorvoll und intim. In unserer westlichen Kultur wird das Älterwerden oft von Schamgefühlen begleitet. Die geistige Leistungsfähigkeit zu verlieren, gesellschaftlich unbedeutend oder vernachlässigt zu sein, beschäftigt viele ältere Menschen. Wie es ist, gemeinsam zu altern, beschreibt die vom Theater kommende McCrory in ihren inszenierten Fotografien, die sie selbst pseudo-dokumentarisch nennt. Die Bilder zeigen alltägliche Szenen aus dem Leben mit ihrem Ehemann Don, mit dem sie seit 42 Jahren verheiratet ist. Als Fotografin legt McCrory zwar ihre eigenen Erfahrungen zugrunde, manipuliert die gezeigten Szenen jedoch so, dass die Betrachtenden ganz eigene Antworten auf die komplexen Beziehungsmuster finden können.

Taking a transnational approach to the study of film culture, this book draws on ethnographic fieldwork in a South Korean university film club to explore a cosmopolitan cinephile subculture that thrived in an ironic unevenness between the highly nationalistic mood of commercial film culture and the intense neoliberal milieu of the 2000s. As these time-poor students devoted themselves to the study of film that is unlikely to help them in the job market, they experienced what a student described as 'a different kind of fun', while they appreciated their voracious consumption of international art films as a very private matter at a time of unprecedented boom in the domestic film industry. This unexpectedly vibrant cosmopolitan subculture of student cinephiles in neoliberal South Korea makes the nation's film culture more complex and interesting than a simple nationalistic affair.
