Product Description
Product Description
Reclaiming Sodom explores alternatives to thes force of the Sodomitic biblical narrative in Islamic, non-western, and western traditions, and discusses the ways in which sodomy calls into question normative definitions of sexuality and gender. The collection pursues the "pleasures and dangers" of these alternatives, and takes on Proust's refusal to imagine a social movement founded on the "stigma" of Sodom.

At least one brilliant essay...
2 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback
...There's at least one brilliant essay in this anthology, Leo Bersani's "Is the Rectum a Grave?" Neverminding how colourful that title is, it's a serious piece of writing, and very thought provoking. I'm straight, but was compelled to deeply question the construction of my own sexuality (and that of masculine sexuality in general) by this work, which looks at homophobia in light of feminist theories about phallocentric vs. nonphallocentric, "passive" forms of sexuality. It's been a long time since I've read it, but it fascinated me years ago and remains memorable -- a good reason to recommend this book, which I imagine is the only place said essay is still in print. As for the rest of the authors in this text, my apologies -- I don't remember if I read a single one of the other essays!
