In States of Passion: Law, Identity and the Social Construction of
Desire, Professor Yvonne Zylan explores the role of legal discourse
in shaping sexual experience, sexual expression, and sexual
identity. The book focuses on three topics: anti-gay hate crime
laws, same-sex sexual harassment, and same-sex marriage, examining
how sexuality is socially constructed through the
institutionally-specific production of legal discourse.
States of Passion argues that law's power to authorize specific
discourses and practices of love, desire, hatred, fear, and
vulnerability remain grounded in the powerful discourses and
institutional practices that mark law as dispassionate, cerebral,
and fundamentally procedural. States of Passion contends that those
states of passion we experience in our daily lives as particularly
significant-to our sense of self, to our collective and social
identities, and to our ideas about the body and its
dictates-increasingly have as much to do with the state as they do
with passion.
