Boredom is a stubborn aspect of modern Western existence. Yet in its philosophical portrayals, it is only described based on masculine parameters, and modeled on male figures such as the <i>flaneur</i>. As his feminine equivalent, the <i>flaneuse</i> shows that boredom is a pervasive yet under-explored feature of feminine life. Like the <i>flaneur</i>, the <i>flaneuse</i> turns to writing to process her impressions of the boring public sphere, but unlike him, the <i>flaneuse</i> is a literal streetwalker. On her strolls in the <i>polis,</i> her gaze never merely grazes the metropolitan landscape and its inhabitants, but solicits. As a queer femme or lesbian, she responds to the male gaze (only) when she is looking for work. Boredom is intrinsically linked to life under capitalism, but boredom may also be conceived as an important attitude for combatting its demands for ever-increasing productivity. Epitomized by the <i>flaneur</i>, the <i>flaneuse</i>, the scribe, and the whore, the meditations that make up this essay formulate a passive resistance against the capitalist logic of work. Through the political medium and passive modality of writing, they draw on the bored and impotent aspects of subjectivity in order to rethink political resistance through passive existence.</p>","PeriodicalId":46044,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lesbian Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41152717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Linda Garber’s novel approaches to Lesbian history: the power of re-creating lesbian stories","authors":"Sandra BaenaSandra Baena VelázquezVelázquez","doi":"10.1080/10894160.2023.2177389","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10894160.2023.2177389","url":null,"abstract":"What purposes does lesbian historical fiction serve? What does the corpus of lesbian historical fiction illustrate? These are some of the questions that scholar Linda Garber answers in her latest volume Novel Approaches to Lesbian History (Springer Nature, 2021). Committed to both lesbian history and lesbian literary representation, Garber navigates lesbian historical novels as a genre that has served to depict a past that has systematically been denied. This volume examines a corpus of over 200 lesbian historical novels whose stories take place before 1930. Through a meticulous analysis of this corpus, the author invites her readers to explore the complexities of lesbian historical novels whose protagonists encompass “a wide-ranging cast of marauding pirates, Civil War scouts, Western bandits, homesteading pioneers, suffragists, schoolteachers, wealthy ladies, working class servants, prostitutes, and shopkeepers” (Garber 3). Garber’s academic work has extensively focused on lesbian matters. She is the author of important volumes in the field of Lesbian Studies such as Identity Poetics: Race, Class, and the Lesbian-Feminist Roots of Queer Theory (Columbia UP, 2001) and Lesbian Sources: A Bibliography of Periodical Articles, 1970-1990 (Routledge, 1993). She is also the editor of Tilting the Tower: Lesbians/Teaching/Queer Subjects (Routledge, 1994), an academic volume that addresses lesbian/gay studies in education from a variety of political and pedagogical perspectives. In addition, she has published on the fields of lesbian and queer studies as they have developed in academia since the 1990s. Her articles, including “Where in the world are the lesbians?” (2005) and \"Weaving a wide net: The benefits of integrating campus projects to combat homophobia” (2002), signify important contributions to the field of lesbian/gay studies. The titles of these books and articles demonstrate Garber’s commitment to the reclamation and dignification of lesbian history. Since the 1990s, the genre of lesbian historical fiction has garnered attention from academic scholars in the field of lesbian studies. Bonnie Zimmerman’s The Safe Sea of Women: Lesbian Fiction, 1969-1989, published in 1990, provided an early account of lesbian literary fiction; five years later, Sarah Waters’ 1995 doctoral thesis “Wolfskins and Togas: Lesbian and Gay Historical Fictions, 1870 to the Present” researched the role of historical references in lesbian/gay fiction in British Literature since the late nineteenth century. These two examples demonstrate academic interest in lesbian historical fiction in the field of Lesbian Studies. Novel Approaches to Lesbian History delves into the corpus of historical novels written by and for lesbians. Through a critical reading of the corpus, Garber proves the necessity of a movement that reclaims a past of their own. As Garber herself points out in her notes in chapter 1, the majority of works take place before 1930; this is indeed a revolutionary st","PeriodicalId":46044,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lesbian Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135907018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That is, lesbian women and gay men themselves internalize negative societal attitudes toward their sexual orientation and identity-a phenomenon called internalized homonegativity. A wealth of research shows that internalized homonegativity negatively affects the health and social adjustment of gay and lesbian people. However, the literature has documented this trend from an individual (over a dyadic) perspective, and largely among gay (over lesbian) samples. To address this oversight, we analyzed data from 210 gay and lesbian couples in Chile to examine both actor and partner effects of internalized homonegativity on their sexual satisfaction. Results from moderation analyses from an actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) approach show that partners' internalized homonegativity negatively affects actor sexual satisfaction, a pattern significantly moderated by gender; that is, only observed among lesbian couples. Our results further demonstrated that these effects hold above and beyond the actor and partner effects of age and relationship satisfaction, as well as relationship length. These results are consistent with the broader literature, which discusses the specific features of internalized homonegativity in lesbian women, characterized-among other aspects-by restrictive social demands over their sexuality. Accordingly, our findings highlight the deleterious relational consequences of internalized homonegativity and offer a relevant empirical contribution to the understanding of specific minority stress dynamics among lesbian women.</p>","PeriodicalId":46044,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lesbian Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"22-40"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10588975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our deep and critical affection for Trujillo's anthology prompts us to acknowledge the expansive potentiality of <i>Chicana Lesbians</i> yet also recognize the historical specificity of its relevance and legibility. While our deep affection urges us to reflect on the myriad ways to love on an object like <i>Chicana Lesbians</i> including how this text has been read, engaged, and critiqued, we also acknowledge-just as Trujillo opined in the anthology's introduction-that we, too, want and need more. A reappraisal of this text requires that we recognize how scholars, activists, and artists may unwittingly be relying on thematic approaches and methods of construction popularized in the late 1980s-early 1990s. Rather than perceive these inclinations on purely nostalgic, unimaginative, or regressive terms, we instead understand these tendencies as callings- to return to earlier submerged moments and techniques. Such phenomena surface <i>via</i> a Covid-19 pandemic temporality, slowing time and thus shaping how to reevaluate the palimpsestic outlines of Chicana lesbian cultural and scholarly production. Guided by these traces, we are arguing that Trujillo's anthology formed what would become the Chicana lesbian body politic forged at the crossroads of Chicanismo, women of color feminism, lesbian identity politics, working-class consciousness, and transnational solidarity sensibilities. <i>Chicana Lesbians</i> provided some early queerly racialized sexual grammars that continue to circulate in the present evidenced through the authors' uses and references in both volumes of this special issue.</p>","PeriodicalId":46044,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lesbian Studies","volume":" ","pages":"349-353"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41183846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
