Part I includes historical and transnational approaches that highlight the queer legacies of creators such as Tove Jansson and Kunihiko Ikuhara. Part II examines how audiences use fan-made content and interpretative techniques to change canonical narratives. Part III analyzes global politics of representation, including censorship and intersectionality. Finally, Part IV studies the ways contemporary animated audiovisual works experiment with queer futurities, posthumanism, and alternative temporalities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn bringing these essays together, this book argues that animation provides a fruitful space for creating queer worlds in which characters, storylines, and audiences perform fluid identities and imagine new modes of connection and empathy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSotiris Petridis \u003c\/b\u003eis an adjunct professor of Film Studies at Hellenic Open University, Greece.
