Straight Writ Queer: Non-Normative Expressions of Heterosexuality in Literature

Calvin Thomas Editat de Richard Fantina
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2006
The advent of gay and lesbian studies as an academic field opened the door for a new exploration of sexuality in literature. Works generally considered heterosexual were re-examined in the light of queer theory. Here, the notion of homosexuality is viewed as a social construction that emerged during the 19th century, with a definitive difference between biological sex and gendered behavior. Heterosexuality is determined by whether sexual performance conforms to society-designated gender roles. From this wider perspective, this book examines literature previously viewed as straight in a search for alternative manifestations of desire and performance, relationships that contain an apparent disconnect between gender and desire. With broad coverage of many periods, authors, and genres, the 17 essays identify inherently queer heterosexual practices and critique the idea of heteronormativity, blurring the line between homo- and heterosexuality.
