Schehr. 330 $aThe steady development of queer theory over the last two decades has provided useful analytical tools and the will to dismiss the watchdog of heteronormativity. Modes of reading have evolved, as this volume of FLS amply attests. Following Bill Edmiston?s introduction to the volume ? a concise and informative history of queer theory ? the fifteen articles reveal, not surprisingly, significant diversity. One deals with queerness in the context of medieval writing where allegorical and euphemistic expression were understood to be irreconcilable. Another treats translations in Early Modern France of an Ovidian fable that had an inconvenient lesbian dimension. Rousseau?s fixation on his bottom (e.g., for spankings) points to a queer streak, while Gautier?s Mademoiselle de Maupin enhances the theme of sexual misidentity with ornamental figures. The queerness of Sand?s La Mare au diable emerges in the course of a contrasexual reading. A musicologist investigates the possibility of a lesbian esthetics of music in a work by Erik Satie, while a literary scholar finds evidence of Proust?s ?outing? in Jean Santeuil . Other articles address the sense of gender transformation wrought by sodomy, a revised view on the writing subject in Jean Genet?s fiction, the queerness of heterosexuality in the works of Michel Houellebecq, and recurring motifs in recent fiction produced by ?gay Paris.? Two of the articles treat activism and esthetics in film. 410 0$aFrench literature series ;$vv. 34. 606 $aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGays' writings$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHomosexuality and literature$zFrance 606 $aHomosexuality and motion pictures$zFrance 606 $aMotion pictures, French$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGays' writings$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHomosexuality and literature 615 0$aHomosexuality and motion pictures 615 0$aMotion pictures, French$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a840.9353 701 $aDay$b James$0194679 712 12$aFrench Literature Conference$f(2006 :$eUniversity of South Carolina) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452078603321 996 $aQueer sexualities in French and Francophone literature and film$92158160 997 $aUNINA
