Queer Theory and Brokeback Mountain examines queer theory as it has
emerged in the past three decades and discusses how Brokeback
Mountain can be understood through the terms of this field of
scholarship and activism. Organized into two parts, in the first
half the author discusses key canonical texts within queer theory,
including the work of writers as Judith Butler, Michel Foucault,
and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. He provides an historical account of the
questions these scholars have posed to our understanding of
sexualities-both normative and non-normative-in the historical past
and in contemporary life, as well as a discussion of the theories
of sexuality and gender offered by these scholars as these
phenomena shape the experiences of men and women in the genital,
bodily, erotic, discursive, and cultural dimensions. The second
part examines Ang Lee's 2005 feature film, Brokeback Mountain, in
order to understand the claims and insights of queer theory.
Tracing the film's adaptation by screenwriter Larry McMurtry of
Annie Proulx's 1997 short story of the same title, this portion of
the book examines the film's narrative about two working-class men
in the rural mid-20th-century U.S. and the meanings of the sexual
and emotional bond between the pair that develops over the course
of two decades.
