Sexual dissidence, cultural materialism and identity politics now
Alan Sinfield
I begin with an account of a very special, rather gay, Christmas. It was 1983 and Alan and I spent it at a place he had in Shropshire, a cottage which he’d bought shortly before he and I got togeth
Death, Desire and Loss in Western Culture
Death, Desire and Loss in Western Culture is a rich testament to our ubiquitous preoccupation with the tangled web of death and desire. In these pages we find nuanced analysis that blends Plato with Shelley, Hölderlin with Foucault. Dollimore, a gifted thinker, is not content to summarize these texts from afar; instead, he weaves a thread through each to tell the magnificent story of the making of the modern individual
The legacy of cultural materialism

Radical Tragedy
Sexual Disgust
Sexual Dissidence
Why is homosexuality socially marginal yet symbolically central? Why, in other words, is it so strangely integral to the very societies which obsessively denounce it, and why is it history, rather than human nature, which has produced this paradoxical position?

Things were different then, and we envisaged something like a progressive alliance between the two in a field that badly needed both. The result, Political Shakespeare: New Essays in Cultural Materialism, appeared in 1985.…

The dominant and the deviant
Homophobia and Sexual Difference
The binary opposition, contends Derrida, is a violent hierarchy. He is surely right, and the opposition masculine/homosexual, a conflation of two classic binaries (masculine/feminine; hetero/homosexual) has been one of the most violent of all. I'm concerned here with something which serves directly to express that violence and which violently secures the opposition itself, namely homophobia. This is, I confess, an ambiguous and not entirely satis…
