And Bisexual

Non-heterosexual men have long existed on the social and cultural margins. Gay and bisexual male characters in literature, too, have done so for many generations. This essay explores the construction of gay masculinity in the short story “Brokeback Mountain” in relation to the “imaginative leap” that its author, Annie Proulx, undertook in order to conceptualize and represent this noteworthy form of marginalized otherness. It demonstrates that, despite the story’s various refreshing elements, “Brokeback Mountain” ultimately relies far too extensively on the logic of melodrama when telling the tale of Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, who fall in love in 1963 and continue their sexual relationship over the course of two decades. As a result, this story ends up positioning its two queer protagonists as enemies of the patriarchal social order and the larger society within which it so comfortably exists, implicitly perpetuating both heterosexism and homophobia as it does its cultural work.

Annie Proulx

Obras da literatura ocidental têm em comum o conflito amoroso entre dois homens, colegas de atividade ou profissão e vítimas de preconceito institucionalizado no ambiente de trabalho e no contexto social, que os incapacita de levar a relação adiante. A partir dos romances Bom Crioulo, de Adolfo Caminha, e Grande Sertão: Veredas, de João Guimarães Rosa, e dos contos “Aqueles Dois”, de Caio Fernando Abreu, e “Brokeback Mountain”, de Annie Proulx, o artigo traça peculiaridades similares nas relações descritas nessas narrativas e as analisa do ponto de vista da teoria queer e de propostas do filósofo Michel Foucault.
