Reviews
A brave and rigorous book that makes the complex theory and politics of lesbian textual practice speak out. Its thoughtful and intriguing analysis of several tropes central to lesbian and gay studies makes it an indispensable part of the generation of books following Judith Butler's. Incorporating a wide variety of critical discourses from feminist theory to psychoanalysis and philosophy, this book demonstrates and extends the depth of the field of lesbian studies.'--Judith Roof.

Synopsis
In "Lesbian Utopics," Annamarie Jagose surveys the construction of the lesbian and finds her in a cultural space that is both everywhere and, of all places, nowhere. The "lesbian," in other words, is symbolically central, yet culturally marginal. Challenging the often unquestioned hegemony of gay studies over lesbian studies, Jagose provides a truly evocative and compelling theory of the lesbian. In drawing upon the work of such theorists as Eve Kosofky Sedgwick and Luce Irigaray, she suggestively articulates a theory of "lesbian" spacew which symbolically exceeds the boundaries of understanding and comprehension. Jagose argues that the culturally constructed category of the "lesbian"--the symbolic logic of which goes beyond traditional cultural limits and regulations--is also simultaneously and, quite provocatively, also the product of those regimes of power. It is this explosive tension that Jagose emphasizes in her reading of various conceptions of the "lesbian." In examining this construction, Jagose surveys a diverse range of texts (sonnets, essays, and novels) spanning the cultural terrain of Mexico and Australia, the US and France. She concludes with a reading of Cindy Crawford as signifying the emergence of lesbian utopics within pop culture. common: they both represent the category "lesbian" as a utopic space, one which exceeds structures of regulation. "Lesbian Utopics" argues that the ways in which "lesbian" is used assumes the characteristics of a utopic site: one outside, and other than the norm, and has placed on it an excess of cultural legislation. Reading a broad variety of works by five women (Irigaray, Nicole Brossard, Marilyn Hacker, Mary Fallon andGloria Anzaldua, Annamarie Jagose makes the argument for "lesbian" as not just an exterior and alterior category, but one which is produced by the very cultural laws whose mandate the category seems to defy and transcend. Using Foucault as a means of examining the texts, the author producesa reading which contends that "lesbian" is emphatically "interior" to culture, produced by the mechanisms of proscripted heterosexuality. "Lesbian Utopics" concludes that the illusion of "outside"-ness promised by the appelation of lesbian is in literal terms a utopic space: ("ou-topos," no place.) This is an important, valuable and controversial addition to lesbian and gay studies, and should interest those in feminist theory and literary criticism., In Lesbian Utopics, Annamarie Jagose surveys the construction of the lesbian and finds her in a cultural space that is both everywhere and, of all places, nowhere. The "lesbian", in other words, is symbolically central, yet culturally marginal., In Lesbian Utopics, Annamarie Jagose surveys the construction of the lesbian and finds her in a cultural space that is both everywhere and, of all places, nowhere. The "lesbian," in other words, is symbolically central, yet culturally marginal.
