Occulté depuis l'Antiquité, le désir de la femme pour la femme ressurgit constamment au cours de l'histoire, malgré sa répression, sa négation ou la fausse indifférence qu'il suscite aujourd'hui. Marie-Jo Bonnet interroge son statut dans la Bible, la psychanalyse, la famille et le politique ; elle se demande pourquoi il n'a pas de place ni d'identité propre dans la Cité, alors qu'il n'est frappé d'aucun interdit de type religieux ou profane. Créateur et spirituel, serait-il un instrument de libération politique ? À cet égard, elle livre une analyse originale de l'expérience du MLF, des débats récents autour de l'homosexualité, de la lesbophobie persistante. Mais le désir quel qu'il soit est avant tout une expérience singulière et complexe. Elle dresse ainsi un tableau inédit des différentes figures de l'amour lesbien à travers la littérature, chez des auteurs classiques comme Marguerite Yourcenar, Violette Leduc, Simone de Beauvoir et Djuna Barnes, plus récents comme Monique Wittig, Anne Garreta et Christine Angot, ou plus inattendus comme Madame de Sévigné. Historienne, écrivain, Marie-Jo Bonnet a notamment publié Les Relations amoureuses entre les femmes (xvie-xxe siècle) et Les Deux Amies. Essai sur le couple de femmes dans l'art.

"Between Banat presents a feminist and queer of color analysis of homoeroticism and nonnormative sexualities between Arab women as represented in transnational Arab literature, art, and film. It draws on a dynamic archive of Arabic and Anglophone film and literature, as well as works in translation and transliteration to outline dominant discourses which make representing queer Arab subjects difficult. Between Banat establishes queer Arab critique as a strategy to read around limiting discourses and proposes tenets to make possible queer Arab futures. Mejdulene Bernard Shomali demonstrates how systems of heteropatriarchy, Arab nationalisms, and Orientalism work in relation to mire queer Arab women's horizons and uses queer Arab critique to locate queer desire amidst heteronormative imperatives"--

"The Cambridge Companion to Lesbian Literature examines literary representations of lesbian sexuality, identities, and communities, from the medieval period to the present. In addition to providing a helpful orientation to key literary-historical periods, critical concepts, theoretical debates and literary genres, this Companion considers the work of such well-known authors as Virginia Woolf, Adrienne Rich, Audre Lorde, Alison Bechdel and Sarah Waters. Written by a host of leading critics and covering subjects as diverse as lesbian desire in the long eighteenth century and same-sex love in a postcolonial context, this Companion delivers insight into the variety of traditions that have shaped the present landscape of lesbian literature." --
