Description

Linking narrative theory, theories of sexuality, and gay and lesbian theory, this text explores the place of homosexuality, and specifically the lesbian, in the tradition of the Western narrative. According to Freud, perversions are the necessary obstacles in a heroic plot of normal heterosexual development; heterosexuality is the 19th-century's classic case of perversion. The author builds on this to illustrate that a structural understanding of narrative enforces a heterosexual paradigm, a sense of meaning that provides psychological stability for the reader. The book looks at film, television and lesbian novels, exploring how ideas of narrative and sexuality inform, determine, and reproduce one another. It identifies the paradigmatic lesbian story, its unvarying repetition, and how it might be recast. Understanding identification as a narrative practice, and narrative as typically heterosexual and reproductive, the author shows how sexuality and narrative must be disentangled to alter oppressive social practices.
