As part of the Peter Lang Pride Month celebrations, we are spotlighting the forthcoming first volume in the new series, Queer Texts. <\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Terry Goldie at York University in Canada and Nikolai Endres at Western Kentucky University instigated Peter Lang\u2019s Queer Texts series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are pleased to announce that the first book in our series will be a collection of studies of Heated Rivalry<\/em>, examining both the original novel and the television adaptation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What a phenomenon! Heated Rivalry<\/em> is part of the Game Changer series by Rachel Reid, which now comprises six volumes \u2013 Game Changer<\/em>, Heated Rivalry<\/em>, Tough Guy<\/em>, Common Goal<\/em>, Role Model<\/em>, The Long Game<\/em> \u2013 with a final installment, Unrivaled<\/em>, promised for next year. Jacob Tierney directed the television series for Crave, starring Hudson Williams as Shane Hollander and Connor Storrie as Ilya Rozanov. HBO subsequently streamed it in the US, with a second season already in production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jo Coghlan, Erin Burrell, and Tess Ezzy, the editors of Heated Rivalry: Queer Joy and Intimate Masculinity on Television<\/strong><\/em> (Peter Lang, 2026 Forthcoming), begin with a simple premise: \u201cSet in professional ice hockey, Heated Rivalry<\/em> is propelled by queer characters and the sustained pleasures of their relationship. Its defining contribution is not exposure or transgression, but queer joy: intimacy, desire, humour, trust, and emotional safety enacted within demanding institutional and work settings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No subject could be more timely. There are still no openly queer athletes in the National Hockey League, but some former players have talked about what was hidden. And the study ventures still further. Heated Rivalry: Queer Joy<\/em> goes beyond the ice to consider Ilya\u2019s gay life in Russia, known for President Vladimir Putin\u2019s extreme anti-LGBTQ+ policies. This study arrives at a time when American homophobia is also growing. Heated Rivalry<\/em> has attracted millions of fans, who want to know more about all aspects. Students and teachers in Queer Studies, Contemporary Television and Streaming Media, Popular Culture, Sports, Sociology, and other fields will benefit. This is television that makes people read books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The edited volume will cover many topics: hockey culture, homophobia, institutional power, masculinity, fandom, romance, female desire, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The editors:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Jo Coghlan, Associate Professor in Cultural and Political Sociology at the University of New England, Australia, is author, editor or co-editor of ten books and forty articles and book chapters exploring affective dynamics of power across popular culture, material culture, and political sociology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erin K. Burrell, a researcher at the University of New England has published a number of articles and book chapters in which she examines how media and cultural forms mediate social control, with particular emphasis on femininity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tess Ezzy is an interdisciplinary sociologist and cultural theorist with a particular interest in technology and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the puck drop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queer Texts<\/em> is a new Peter Lang series, edited by Terry Goldie (York University) and Nikolai Endres (Western Kentucky University).
