The Right to Play Oneself

The Right to Play Oneself

Waugh Thomas

University of Minnesota Press
2011
sidottu
The Right to Play Oneself collects for the first time Thomas Waugh’s essays on the politics, history, and aesthetics of documentary film, written between 1974 and 2008. The title, inspired by Walter Benjamin’s and Joris Ivens’s manifestos of “committed” documentary from the 19 0s, reflects the book’s theme of the political potential of documentary for representing the democratic performance of citizens and artists.Waugh analyzes an eclectic international selection of films and issues from the 1920s to the present day. The essays provide a transcultural focus, moving from documentaries of the industrialized societies of North America and Europe to those of 1980s India and addressing such canonical directors as Dziga Vertov, Emile de Antonio, Barbara Hammer, Rosa von Praunheim, and Anand Patwardhan. Woven through the volume is the relationship of the documentary with the history of the Left, including discussions of LGBT documentary pioneers and the firebrand collectives that changed the history of documentary, such as Challenge for Change and ACT UP’s Women’s Collective. Together with the introduction by the author, Waugh’s essays advance a defiantly and persuasively personal point of view on the history and significance of documentary film.

Writing in the Flesh

Writing in the Flesh

Thomas Waugh

MCGILL-QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY PRESS
2026
nidottu
A confessional of the unrepentant, Writing in the Flesh caresses taboos, confronts sentimentality, and recasts memory. Thomas Waugh writes the body back into the intellectual autobiography, revealing the unsettling arguments and politics born from the tastes and desires of his own carnal vessel. Shaped by the arc of a life still in full flight – a preacher’s kid who grows up to be a porn teacher and, along the way, a New Left activist and expert in documentary, queer, and Canadian film – Writing in the Flesh confronts the struggle of writing the self. Against the backdrop of Montreal’s Plateau-Mont-Royal, New York City, and the Punjab, Waugh brings places and people to life in profound and unexpected ways. This is also a memoir about history, the archive, and ephemera: Waugh mines his personal annals for photographs, film stills, testimony, and correspondence to reconstitute the voices of blood and chosen families, to hedge against erratic memory, and to give sense to life. Indebted to the tradition of queer first-person rabble rousers, Waugh takes us on a journey through seven decades of queer relations: the erotic, the pedagogical, the familial, the romantic, the platonic, and, of course, the filmic. Sexy, cinematic, encyclopedic: this vivacious vita celebrates a life filled with family and chosen family, movies, and beefcake. At the same time these pages are, as the title declares, a writing in the flesh: the unveiling of the fraught, vulnerable, declining yet still robust and pleasured body at the very centre of it all.

The Romance of Transgression in Canada

The Romance of Transgression in Canada

Thomas Waugh

McGill-Queen's University Press
2006
sidottu
From pornography to autobiography, from the Cold War to the sexual revolution, from rural roots and mythologies to the queer meccas of Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, The Romance of Transgression in Canada is a history of sexual representation on the large and small screen in English Canada and Quebec. Thomas Waugh identifies the queerness that has emerged at the centre of our national sex-obsessed cinema, filling a gap in the scholarly literature. In Part One he explores the explosive canon of artists such as Norman McLaren, Claude Jutra, Colin Campbell, Paul Wong, John Greyson, Patricia Rozema, Lea Pool, Bruce Labruce, Esther Valiquette, Marc Paradis, and Mirha-Soleil Ross. Part Two is an encyclopaedia of short essays covering 340 filmmakers, video artists, and institutions. The Romance of Transgression in Canada is both a scholarly account and a celebration of Canadian LGBTQ films - moving images that have scandalized conservative politicans, but are the envy of queer cultural festivals around the world.

The Fruit Machine

The Fruit Machine

Thomas Waugh

Duke University Press
2000
sidottu
For more than twenty years, film critic, teacher, activist, and fan Thomas Waugh has been writing about queer movies. As a member of the Jump Cut collective and contributor to the Toronto-based gay newspaper the Body Politic, he emerged in the late 1970s as a pioneer in gay film theory and criticism, and over the next two decades solidified his reputation as one of the most important and influential gay film critics. The Fruit Machine-a collection of Waugh’s reviews and articles originally published in gay community tabloids, academic journals, and anthologies-charts the emergence and maturation of Waugh’s critical sensibilities while lending an important historical perspective to the growth of film theory and criticism as well as queer moviemaking.In this wide-ranging anthology Waugh touches on some of the great films of the gay canon, from Taxi zum Klo to Kiss of the Spider Woman. He also discusses obscure guilty pleasures like Born a Man . . . Let Me Die a Woman, unexpectedly rich movies like Porky’s and Caligula, filmmakers such as Fassbinder and Eisenstein, and film personalities from Montgomery Clift to Patty Duke. Emerging from the gay liberation movement of the 1970s, Waugh traverses crises from censorship to AIDS, tackling mainstream potboilers along with art movies, documentaries, and avant-garde erotic videos. In these personal perspectives on the evolving cinematic landscape, his words oscillate from anger and passion to wry wit and irony. With fifty-nine rare film stills and personal photographs and an introduction by celebrated gay filmmaker John Greyson, this volume demonstrates that the movie camera has been the fruit machine par excellence.

The Conscience of Cinema

The Conscience of Cinema

Thomas Waugh

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
nidottu
This is the first book to survey the entire career of Joris Ivens, a prolific documentary filmmaker who worked on every continent over the course of seven decades. More than a biography of a leftist committed to changing the world through film, The Conscience of Cinema is also a microcosmic history of the documentary and its form, culture, and place within twentieth-century world cinema. Ivens worked in almost every genre, including the essay, compilation, hybrid dramatization, socialist realism, and more. Whether in his native Netherlands, the Soviet Union, the United States, Vietnam, or beyond, he left an indelible artistic and political mark that continues to resonate in the twenty-first century.
