Is bisexuality coming out in America? Bisexual characters are surfacing on popular television shows and in film. Newsweek proclaims that a new sexual identity is emerging. But amidst this burgeoning acknowledgment of bisexuality, is there an understanding of what it means to be bisexual in a monosexual culture? RePresenting Bisexualities seeks to answer these questions, integrating a recognition of bisexual desire with new theories of gender and sexuality. Despite the breakthroughs in gender studies and queer studies of recent years, bisexuality has remained largely unexamined. Problematic sexual images are usually attributed either to homosexual or heterosexual desire while bisexual readings remain unexplored. The essays found in RePresenting Bisexualities discuss fluid sexualities through a variety of readings from the fence, covering texts from Emily Dickinson to Nine Inch Nails. Each author contributes to the collection a unique view of sexual fluidity and transgressive desire. Taken together, these essays provide the most comprehensive bisexual theory reader to date.

bisexual ppl can do some...theory!
25 Oct 2002
By Jeffery Mingo
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Okay, I admit it: I'm a gay man that often talks...about bisexuals. But strong bisexual activists and bisexual anthologies have made me mend my ways (or at least constantly keep trying). Plenty of anthologies have proven that bisexuals can write compelling biography and cultural criticism. But here is a unique book where bisexuals show they can go toe to toe with high-level (...) theory. This anthology was very diverse in terms of gender and race. It covers areas such as Freud's Dora, E. Lynn Harris novels, and Jane Bowles. I would really recommend this book for many a bisexual theoryhead. This book will make monosexual theorists do more to appreciate their bisexual peers.
