內容簡介
Narratives of Queer Desire: Deserts of the Heart is an interdisciplinary project that uses literary analysis, especially close reading, along with personal testimony and the applications of gender theory, as a means for identifying, looking at, and exploring LGBTQ stories. Taking its subtitle from Jane Rule's novel Desert of the Heart, Narratives of Queer Desire considers queer yearnings for stories other than those conventionally available, stories that, often located at the social margins ('deserts') and subject to violent regulation, engage and resist norms in literature as well as culture and politics. Narratives of Queer Desire offers a story about the power of storytelling: within our personal, professional, and political lives and at the sites of our desire, including the classroom. This is a story about how literature encounters loss, staves off aggression, and answers erasure by offering itself as a site of care and empowerment and activism for LGBTQ people.
