Nothing but a Pack of Cards’
Taking the wildly conflicting critical evaluations of Elizabeth Bowen's final novel, Eva Trout, or Changing Scenes (1969) as its starting-point, this essay argues against 'interpreting' both the novel and its 'monstrous' heroine in conventional representational terms, to argue, instead, for an appreciation, or experience, of both novel and protagonist as instantiations of a process of becoming along Deleuzian lines. Rather than seeing Bowen's fin…
Feminist Theorizing as ‘Transposed Autobiography’
This piece considers personal investments endemic in academic writing, more specifically, in Lesbian Studies. Taking Elizabeth Bowen's phrase, "transposed autobiography," as a starting-point, the author briefly discusses the development of lesbian/straight feminist debates, and continues to explore the relative absence of lesbianism in current feminist and queer theorizing. Three 'moments' serve to explain the casting aside of lesbian desire: the…

Fact and Fantasy
This essay proceeds by presenting different 'takes' on corporeality in the age of posthumanism. Alternating theoretical reflections with personal experiences and/or observations on aspects of embodiment--and thus trying to do justice to Merleau-Ponty's insight that any body is always already a 'body-in-the-world'--it seeks to explore the function of fantasy generally and of cultural production in particular in the process of the body/subject's di…
The Wise Feature
First Things First
Starting from the understanding that no mode of subjective differentiation - whether it be along the lines of gender, 'race', class, ethnicity, or sexuality - takes ultimate precedence over any of the others, this essay explicitly focuses on sexuality, in order to pursue the theoretical potential of Freudian psychoanalysis for a radical lesbian critique in cultural praxis. Re-reading Freud through Laplanche and Pontalis, the essay explores the no…
Come as You Are
Roof's ambitious, wide-ranging book links narrative theory, theories of sexuality, and gay and lesbian theory to explore the place of homosexuality, and specifically the lesbian, in the tradition of western narrative. According to Freud, perversions are the necessary obstacles in a heroic plot of normal heterosexual development; and homosexuality is the nineteenth century's classic case of perversion. Roof builds on Freud to illustrate that a str…

Organizing Sexuality
Perverted knowledge
Taking into account the postmodern celebration of multiple differences, this article starts from the assumption that only a self‐consciously ‘situated’ theoretical practice can still ensure the viability of a politically informed critical project. Locating her theoretical position in the realm of the sexual, the author deliberately restricts her focus to the concept of lesbian sexuality, in order to explore its function as a specific configuratio…
(Sub)textual Configurations
Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar (1963/1980) has become one of the classic 20th-century stories of female adolescence. Feminist critics have analyzed this tale of madness and self-destruction primarily in terms of gender conflicts. From a specifically lesbian feminist perspective, this article presents a "stressed read-ing"1 of The Bell Jar , arguing that it is not in the first place the operations of gender ideology, but rather the contradictions of …
The Sexual Contract
this remarkably original work of political philosophy, one of today's foremost feminist theorist challenges the way contemporary society functions by questioning the standard interpretation of an idea that is deeply embedded in American and British political thought: that our rights and freedoms derive from the social contract explicated by Locke, Hobbes, and Rousseau and interpreted in the United States by the Founding Fathers. The author shows …
