Après en avoir retracé rapidement la genèse, cet article rapporte les principales critiques adressées au concept d’homophobie, notamment son réductionnisme qui tend vers des explications de nature psychologique ainsi que l’éviction de la hiérarchie des sexes/genres. Nous discutons ensuite deux pistes théoriques permettant de contourner les limites précédemment identifiées. La première examine le potentiel de l’approche intersectionnelle. La seconde voie invite à une redéfinition du concept d’homophobie, lui reconnaissant une portée exclusivement descriptive, et non plus en tant que concept explicatif, justifiant ainsi sa subordination au concept d’hétérosexisme qui offre une perspective systémique. Nous examinons ces concepts en fonction de leur capacité à rendre compte de l’oppression des lesbiennes.

This article reflects on the intellectual and political circumstances of the publication of Gayle Rubin's 1984 essay “Thinking Sex: Notes for a Radical Theory of the Politics of Sexuality.” In particular, the article considers the context of the feminist “sex wars” of the late 1970s and early 1980s, offering a detailed account of several of the period's key events, publications, and debates. The article also reflects on the relation between this moment in the history of feminism and the history of GLBT and queer scholarship over the past several decades.

An examination of the social and cultural significance of body art by a major new voice. The past few years have seen an explosion of interest in body art, in which the artist's body is integral to the work of art. With the revoking of NEA funding for such artists as Karen Finley, Tim Miller, and others, public awareness and media coverage of body-oriented performances have increased. Yet the roots of body art extend to the 1960s and before. In this definitive book, Amelia Jones explores body art projects from the 1960s and 1970s and relates their impact to the work of body artists active today, providing a new conceptual framework for defining postmodernism in the visual arts. Jones begins with a discussion of the shifting intellectual terrain of the 1950s and 1960s, focusing on the work of Ana Mendieta. Moving to an examination of the reception of Jackson Pollock's "performative" acts of painting, she argues that Pollock is a pivotal figure between modernism and postmodernism. The book continues with explorations of Vito Acconci and Hannah Wilke, whose practices exemplify a new kind of performance that arose in the late 1960s, one that represents a dramatic shift in the conception of the artistic subject. Jones then surveys the work of a younger generation of artists -- including Laurie Anderson, Orlan, Maureen Connor, Lyle Ashton Harris, Laura Aguilar, and Bob Flanagan -- whose recent work integrates technology and issues of identity to continue to expand the critique begun in earlier body art projects. Embracing an exhilarating mix of methodologies and perspectives (including feminism, queer theory, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and literary theory), this rigorous and elegantexamination of body art provides rich historical insight and essential context that rethinks the parameters of postmodern culture.
