L’appel à candidatures a rassemblé plus de 60 projets touchant toutes les formes d’expression artistique et ras- semblant des porteuses et porteurs de projets de tous horizons. Grâce au soutien de la Ville de Paris et de nombreux lieux participants, ce festival s’adresse à toutes et tous : lesbiennes, gais, bies et bis, personnes trans, mais aussi, au-delà, toutes celles et tous ceux, quelles que soient leur orientation sexuelle ou leur identité de genre, qui veulent vivre ces temps forts ensemble ! La plupart des événements sont en entrée libre et s’adressent à un large public. Les lieux qui les accueillent sont pour certains d’ores et déjà des lieux d’expression des cultures LGBT++, mais beaucoup d’entre eux s’ouvrent pour l’occasion à ces théma- tiques et au festival pour célébrer et partager la richesse et la diversité des cultures LGBT++ franciliennes. La soirée de clôture aura lieu le 17 février à l'espace Jean Dame -17 rue Léopold Bel- lan, 75002 Paris - avec un concert réunissant les Gamme'elles, Equivox, Mélo’Men et Podium Paris, suivi d’un cocktail. http://www.festivaldescultureslgbt.org 3 Semaine LGBT chinoise à Paris un programme riche ! 1.

However, the South tends to neglect and even to negate certain peoples and their identities. Women, especially lesbians, are often silenced within southern literature. Where Tennessee Williams and James Baldwin used literature to bridge gaps between gay men and the South, southern lesbian literature severely lacks a traceable history of such connections.

  • "Drifting on an Unfriendly Sea" Lesbian Pulp Novels and the Creation Of' Community
    "Drifting on an unfriendly sea" Lesbian pulp novels and the creation of' community Linnea A. Stenson he 1940s and 1950s brougb t considerable changes to the lives of women iJ1 the United States. World War IT brought an influx of single women T ineo major metropolitan areas. Their newfound ind pendence and economic strength gave them freedoms they had not had since World War 1. As well, they tended to live in highly sex-segregated communities, both in the armed services and in civilian housing, which allowed lesbians to find one another in a manner that had been nearly impossible before. The growth of the number of bars that catered exclusively to homosexuals began to foster a semblance of group identity. The publication of the Kinsey reports startled the American consciousness with scientific evidence that the frequency of homosexual activity, for both women and men, was significantly higher than previously thought. Finally, the publication of Donald Webster Cory's The homosexual in America in 1951 (and The lesbian inAme­ rica later in 1964) presented a new view of the homosexual: that of a persecuted minority. All these factors played into the "bloom" of lesbian novels that occurred during the 195 Os and early 1960s. The paperback revolution begun by Pocket Books in 1939 made books affordable and sex (of A VIVID AND SEARCHING NOVEL OF FORBIDDEN any sort) made them saleable. LOVE IN THE TWILIGHT WORLD OF THE THIRD SEX While the 1940s saw little in the 45 Linnea A.

I engage with feminist discourses around lesbian SM within the so- called feminist sex wars of the 1980s, tracing the sometimes dramatic rise to prominence of lesbian SM as a feminist issue. Entwined in this web of controversy, I assert, is the story of a perceived fundamental split in the feminist movement between those who believed SM was patriarchal, abusive and violent, and those who saw it as a consensual expression of sexual freedom and liberation.

  • AB/NORMAL LOOKING Voyeurism and Surveillance in Lesbian Pulp
    AB/NORMAL LOOKING Voyeurism and surveillance in lesbian pulp novels and US Cold War culture Yvonne Keller LOOK AT HER ... and she cannot be distinguished from her more normal sisters ... I have seen them, and I am one of them; yet 1 have never been able to pick a lesbian out of the crowd ... For she is any woman. (Ann Aldrich [1955] 1962, front inside teaser page, capitalization as original) [Popular culture is] the space of homogenization where stereotyping and the formulaic mercilessly process the material and experiences it draws into its web ... It is rooted in popular experience and available for expropriation at one and the same time ... [A]ll popular cultures ... lare] bound to be contradictory ... site[s] (pp. 469-70) of strategic contestation. (Stuart Hall 1996, ) "LOOK AT HER"—the injunction at the beginning of Aldrich's lesbian pulp We Walk Alone typifies the public lesbian image in US fifties popular culture. The command and ensuing text prioritize the visual, regulate the boundaries ofthe "normal," and set the reader up for immediate, apparent failure—despite the insistence on looking the lesbian "cannot be distinguished"; she paradoxically cannot be seen. This article analyzes the links between sight and ab/normality—i.e. sight and cultural power—in lesbian pulps. The sensationalistic mass-market paperbacks called lesbian pulps are not, as might be suspected from our present-day vantage point, close-to-pornographic cultural expatriates in the ur- heterosexual. Father Knows Best, suburban world of the fifties. Rather I will argue these pulps were bestsellers precisely because they embodied reassuringly prevalent and normative strategies of sight.

  • Censorship and Translation Into Spanish of the Lesbian Novel in English: the Case of Rubyfruit Jungle (1973)
    This article analyses the only translation into Spanish of Rita Mae TRANS . núm. 24 . 2020 MISCELÁNEA . 353-374 Brown’s Rubyfruit Jungle (1973), translated in Spain by Jorge Bi- naghi in 1979. In order to do so, the study reviews lesbian narrative in English during the 20th century and the social and political fac- tors that might have influenced its translation in Spain. An overview on Francoist literary censorship is followed by a discussion on how the Spanish literary market has received English lesbian novels and the case of Rubyfruit Jungle. Despite being one of the first lesbian novels published in democracy in Spain, the analysis suggests that the Francoist ideological paradigms are still perpetuated and have altered the translation.
