Abstract Since Confederation enshrined Canada Customs’ mandate to seize “indecent and immoral” material, the nation’s borders have served as discursive sites of sexual censorship for the LGBTTQ lives and literatures that cross the line. While the Supreme Court’s decision in Little Sisters v. Canada (2000) upheld the agency’s power to exclude obscenity, the Court found Customs discriminatory in their preemptive seizures of LGBTTQ material. Extrapolating from this case of the state’s failure to sufficiently ‘read’ queer sex at the border, this dissertation moves beyond studies of how obscenity law regulates literary content to posit that LGBTTQ authors innovate aesthetics in response to a complex network of explicit and implicit forms of censorship.

  • “Joy” of Sex Really For?: a Queer Critique of Popular Sex Guides
    1 Who is the “Joy” of Sex Really For?: A Queer Critique of Popular Sex Guides Anna Naden Feminist and Gender Studies Colorado College Bachelor of Arts Degree in Feminist and Gender Studies May 2015 2 Abstract Using The Guide to Getting It On and The Joy of Sex, this paper explores the ways in which sex guides address queer identities. The arguments presented rely on queer theory, particularly the work of Annamarie Jagose and Eve Sedgewick, to understand queer as an unstable and dynamic category of identity. The paper then turns to The Guide to Getting It On and The Joy of Sex to examine how sex guides uphold hegemonic standards of heterosexuality and whiteness and further marginalize queer identities and people of color, arguing that sex guides cannot account for queer identities and are inherently exclusionary even when they aim to be inclusive. Keywords: sex guide, queer theory, heterosexuality, whiteness, queer identities 3 Who is the “Joy” of Sex Really For?: A Queer Critique of Popular Sex Guides Introduction In the preface to The Joy of Sex (2009: 8), Susan Quilliam writes: “Joy was not only a product of the [sexual] revolution, it also helped create it… The text and illustrations were designed to both reassure the reader that their sexuality was normal and to offer further possibilities with which to expand their sexual menu.” Who defines “normal,” and what does this imply for those of us who do not see ourselves reflected in the text and illustrations? Reading The Guide to Getting It On as an undergraduate was an unexpectedly harsh experience for me; I found myself continually frustrated with the book’s flippant treatment of and exclusion of genders and sexualities outside of the realm of white, cisgender heterosexuality.

The emotion derives from a double contact: on the one hand, a whole activity of discourse discreetly, indirectly focuses upon a single signified, which is “I desire you,” and releases, nourishes, ramifies it to the point of explosion (language experiences orgasm upon touching itself); on the other hand, I enwrap the other in my words, I caress, brush against, talk up this contact, I extend myself to make the commentary to which I submit the relation endure. “ Roland Barthes – A Lover’s Discourse (78) iv v Contents Acknowledgments ............................................................................................................................ vi Abstract ............................................................................................................................................. vii Introduction ....................................................................................................................................... 1 The Farewell Symphony ......................................................................................................................

Cole, Chair Professor Kathleen M. Canning Professor David Caron Professor Scott D. Spector © Andrew Israel Ross 2011 In memory of Marcella Katz ii Acknowledgements This project relied on the generous financial support of the University of Michigan Department of History, Rackham Graduate School, and the Georges Lurcy Charitable and Educational Trust. Middlebury College provided financial aid that allowed me to attend their Summer Language Institute. The wonderful teachers at Middlebury helped me develop the skills necessary to navigating the French archives with minimal embarrassment. The staffs at the Archives de la préfecture de police, the Archives nationales de France, the Archives de Paris, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and the Bibliothèque historique de la ville de Paris all provided invaluable assistance. I have relied on the support of friends and family throughout this process. Jennifer Butterfield has been a dear friend since elementary school and has watched me progress from first grade to my doctorate. Kristyna Comer and Lucy Biederman have both inspired me through their art; their talent is equaled only by their generosity. Philip Herd, Daniel Humphrey, Sarah Williams, Nenad Simonovic, Kaya Burgess, and Thuvaraka and Jon Ware have all remained some of my dearest friends since my study abroad at Oxford. My yearly trip to London in order to visit is always the highlight of the year.
