Resumen

Este artículo propone una interpretación queer de The Yellow Wallpaper (1989), una adaptación de PBS del relato canónico de Gilman. Consta de tres partes: una aproximación al término queer, una lectura queer (y feminista) del texto de Gilman y un análisis de los aspectos queer (y feministas) del film. La tercera parte también responde al único ensayo académico sobre dicha producción, escrito por Janet Beer, el cual omite el carácter queer de la misma. Esta sección explora el tratamiento queer de los temas—identidad inestable, autoerotismo, tendencias lésbicas, enfermedades mentales, solidaridad entre mujeres y desigualdades de género y clase—a la vez que dialoga con críticas de cine como Linda Hutcheon y Laura Mulvey. Se señala además el uso queer de los recursos formales—luz, planos, sonido, música, simbolismo y motivos escénicos. Mi objetivo principal es demostrar que The Yellow Wallpaper es una innovadora adaptación queer de la obra de Gilman para un público moderno.
