[EAN: 9780415910194], [PU: Routledge Chapman & Hall], SOCIOLOGY; SOCIAL SCIENCE / LESBIAN STUDIES, Philosophy|Criticism, Social Science|Feminism & Feminist Theory, Social Science|Lesbian Studies, Gebraucht - Gut - In 'Lesbian Utopics, Annamarie Jagose surveys the construction of the lesbian and finds her in a cultural space that is both everywhere and, of all places, nowhere. The 'lesbian,' in other words, is symbolically central, yet culturally marginal. Challenging the often unquestioned hegemony of gay studies over lesbian studies, Jagose provides a truly evocative and compelling theory of the lesbian. In drawing upon the work of such theorists as Eve Kosofky Sedgwick and Luce Irigaray, she suggestively articulates a theory of 'lesbian' spacew which symbolically exceeds the boundaries of understanding and comprehension.

It is this explosive tension that Jagose emphasizes in her reading of various conceptions of the 'lesbian.' In examining this construction, Jagose surveys a diverse range of texts (sonnets, essays, and novels) spanning the cultural terrain of Mexico and Australia, the US and France. She concludes with a reading of Cindy Crawford as signifying the emergence of lesbian utopics within pop culture. common: they both represent the category 'lesbian' as a utopic space, one which exceeds structures of regulation. 'Lesbian Utopics argues that the ways in which 'lesbian' is used assumes the characteristics of a utopic site: one outside, and other than the norm, and has placed on it an excess of cultural legislation. Reading a broad variety of works by five women (Irigaray, Nicole Brossard, Marilyn Hacker, Mary Fallon and GloriaAnzaldua, Annamarie Jagose makes the argument for 'lesbian' as not just an exterior and alterior category, but one which is produced by the very cultural laws whose mandate the category seems to defy and transcend.
