- Description
- The author looks at the queer subject comes to occupy a central and often contradictory place in the world of early twentieth century? What role has capitalism played in the development of modern gay and lesbian identities? The book focuses on the figure of the dandy to explore how and why gay and lesbian subjects became heroes of modern life. Elisa Glick argues that the gay subject emerged out of the specifically modern, capitalist contradiction between the public world of production and industry and the private world of consumption and pleasure. She brings modernism into dialogue with Marxist and queer theory, and offers a materialist account of modern queer consciousness that challenges tendencies to oppose “private” eroticism and the systems of value that govern “public” interests. In the process she illuminates the connections between aesthetic, sexual, and social formations in modern life—between modernity’s disruptive, “queer” desires and their unfolding in an increasingly rationalized society. She pays attention to Radclyffe Hall, Una Troubridge, Renée Vivien and others.

phallic possession, femininity, and the text

- Description
- This publication takes note of a proliferation of phallic feminine figures in disparate North American and European texts from the end of the nineteenth century onward. Brooks takes up the textual figure of the phallic woman where Freud locates it, in the imagined mother that the little boy, in fantasy, credits with a penis of her own. It traces this phallic-woman motif backward to the sexological case study, and forward to newspaper accounts of testosterone-taking third-sexers. Brooks examines both high and low literature, pornography, postmodern theory, and writing that would seem to answer Lacan's injunction to move 'beyond the phallus'.
lesbianism and psychosis in literature and film

- Description
- In France in 1933, two sisters, presumed to be lovers, murdered the women who employed them as maids. Known as 'the Papin affair,' the incident inspired not only Jean Genet's 1947 The Maids but also an essay by Jacques Lacan that presents the sisters' crime as fueled by a narcissistic, homosexual drive that culminated in the assault. In this new investigation of the roots of the twentieth-century myth of the lesbian-as-madwoman, Christine Coffman argues that the female psychotic was the privileged object of Lacan's effort to derive a revolutionary theory of subjectivity from the study of mental illness. Examining Lacan's early writings, French surrealism, Djuna Barnes' Nightwood, and H.D.'s homoerotic fiction in light of feminist and queer theory, Insane Passions argues that the psychotic woman that fascinates modernist writers returns with a murderous vengeance in a number of late twentieth-century films--including Basic Instinct, Sister My Sister, Single White Female, and Murderous Maids. Marking the limit of social acceptability, the 'psychotic lesbian' repeatedly appears as the screen onto which the violence and madness of twentieth-century life are projected.

- Description
- Cairns looks separately at the representation of lesbianism by women writers who do not identify as lesbian, at the work of writers who do identify as such and have produced substantial bodies of fiction, and at the more scattered and disparate manifestations of the same themes, particularly from a new generation of writers in the 1990s.
