How To Be Gay pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
No one raises an eyebrow if you suggest that a guy who arranges his furniture just so, rolls his eyes in exaggerated disbelief, likes techno music or show tunes, and knows all of Bette Davis’s best lines by heart might, just possibly, be gay. But if you assert that male homosexuality is a cultural practice, expressive of a unique subjectivity and a distinctive relation to mainstream society, people will immediately protest. Such an idea, they will say, is just a stereotype—ridiculously simplistic, politically irresponsible, and morally suspect. The world acknowledges gay male culture as a fact but denies it as a truth.
David Halperin, a pioneer of LGBTQ studies, dares to suggest that gayness is a specific way of being that gay men must learn from one another in order to become who they are. Inspired by the notorious undergraduate course of the same title that Halperin taught at the University of Michigan, provoking cries of outrage from both the right-wing media and the gay press, How To Be Gay traces gay men’s cultural difference to the social meaning of style.
Far from being deterred by stereotypes, Halperin concludes that the genius of gay culture resides in some of its most despised features: its aestheticism, snobbery, melodrama, adoration of glamour, caricatures of women, and obsession with mothers. The insights, impertinence, and unfazed critical intelligence displayed by gay culture, Halperin argues, have much to offer the heterosexual mainstream.
David M. Halperin is W.H. Auden Distinguished University Professor of the History and Theory of Sexuality at the University of Michigan.
书没看完,观点很新颖有价值,但是偏冗长。主要观点:异性恋可以从父母,课本,电视剧等等中学到两性交往的技能、文化,同性恋却似乎无从学起。青春期时发现自己喜欢男生,渐渐给自己贴上gay的身份标签,然后开始寻爱之旅。但是,既然认为自己是这个群体的一员,是不是应该了解一点这个群体的历史和文化?(若对自己的文化无知,则可能陷入对别人的盲目模仿。)(犹太人这个群体有自己的历史和文化。)以性取向而不是文化,来确定gay identity,宣称同志除了sex和异性恋不同其他没什么区别,有利于同志平权运动,但是也束缚了同志的个性。结果是,在当下欧美发达地区,年轻的同志虽已敢于表达自己的同志身份,却不敢表达自己除了性取向之外的不同。(如,不敢表现得娘)。同志除了性爱和异性恋不同,在气质天赋等也可能和别人不同。
评分the most impressive point being "the political need to de-individualize gay presence". The rest is somewhat superficial. Doesn't address the gay male misogyny at tall.
