William Faulkner grew up and began his writing career during a
time of great cultural upheaval, especially in the realm of
sexuality, where every normative notion of identity and
relationship was being re-examined. Not only does Faulkner explore
multiple versions of sexuality throughout his work, but he also
studies the sexual dimension of various social, economic, and
aesthetic concerns.
In "Faulkner's Sexualities," contributors query Faulkner's life
and fiction in terms of sexual identity, sexual politics, and the
ways in which such concerns affect his aesthetics. Given the
frequent play with sexual norms and practices, how does Faulkner's
fiction constitute the sexual subject in relation to the dynamics
of the body, language, and culture? In what ways does Faulkner
participate in discourses of masculinity and femininity, desire and
reproduction, heterosexuality and homosexuality? In what ways are
these discourses bound up with representations of race and
ethnicity, modernity and ideology, region and nation? In what ways
do his texts touch on questions concerning the racialization of
categories of gender within colonial and dominant metropolitan
discourses and power relations? Is there a Southern sexuality? This
volume wrestles with these questions and relates them to theories
of race, gender, and sexuality.
