Abstract

“fi nding themselves” to portrayals of gay life post-coming out and sans anguish. Further, the multiple meanings of gay marriage represent a story of “simultaneous victory and retrenchment” (212) and her analysis in this section could not be timelier. Although Walters is rarely prescriptive in this text, her conclusion does call for a third way beyond the closet and the spectacle, a “conscious, conscientious integration” (24) where that integration fundamentally alters culture. Given her consistent refusal of the polarities of progress and backlash, Walters’s conclusion resists a tidy ending but does suggest reasons for optimism, gesturing toward “possibilities unimaginable in previous eras” (299). Those possibilities include powerful implications for heterosexuality (“seeing [hetero]sexuality in less fi nite and tandem ways” [299]), for notions of the family, and for intimacy more broadly construed. Although Walters’s argument is a simple one and the examples begin to feel somewhat repetitive, this accessible, engaging text makes an important contribution to popular cultural studies and to a number of contemporary debates in the GLBT community.
认同斗争和社会运动:有争议的身份、代理和权力(回顾)
“寻找自我”,描绘出出柜后的同性恋生活,没有痛苦。此外,同性婚姻的多重意义代表了一个“同时胜利和缩减”的故事(212),她在这一节的分析再及时不过了。虽然沃尔特斯在这篇文章中很少有规定性,但她的结论确实呼吁在壁橱和景观之外有第三种方式,一种“有意识的、认真的融合”(24),这种融合从根本上改变了文化。鉴于她一贯拒绝进步和反作用的两极,沃尔特斯的结论拒绝了一个整洁的结局,但确实提出了乐观的理由,指出了“以前时代无法想象的可能性”(299)。这些可能性包括对异性恋的强大暗示(“以不那么有限和串联的方式看待[异性恋]性行为”[299]),对家庭的概念,以及对更广泛的亲密关系的解释。尽管沃尔特斯的论点很简单,其中的例子开始让人觉得有些重复,但这本通俗易懂、引人入胜的文本对流行文化研究和当代lgbt社区的一些辩论做出了重要贡献。
