Beschreibung

<p><strong>A provocative book by an acclaimed writer-filmmaker that combines memoir and media as seen through a trans lens</strong></p><br><p>Following the death of the family patriarch, a box of newly procured family documents reveals writer-filmmaker Chase Joynt's previously unknown connection to Canadian media maverick Marshall McLuhan. <em>Vantage Points</em> takes up the surprising appearance of McLuhan in Joynt's family archive as a way to think about legacies of childhood sexual abuse and how we might process and represent them. To do so, Joynt stages a series of vignettes that place memoir in the context of other sources, media, and stories to create a tapestry--a montage-like experience of reading with surprising and revealing juxtapositions.</p><br><p>Joynt writes about difficult pasts and connects them to contemporary politics and ways of being, employing McLuhan's seminal <em>Understanding Media </em>as an inciting framework. <em>Vantage Points</em> is a kaleidoscopic reckoning with the impact of media and masculinity on the stories we tell about ourselves and our families, a unique and highly visual approach to trans life writing, and an experimental move between gender and genre.</p><br><p>With black-and-white illustrations.</p>
