Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1995 American media now regularly focuses an often sympathetic beam on gay life and, with AIDS, on gay death. Gay plays on Broadway, big book awards to authors writing on gay subjects, Hollywood movies with gay themes, gay and lesbian studies at dozens of universities, openly gay columnists and even editors at national mainstream publications, political leaders speaking in favour of gay rights: it seems that straight America has finally begun to listen to homosexual America. Even so, Bersani notes, not only has homophobia grown more virulent, but many gay men and lesbians themselves are reluctant to be identified as homosexuals. In "Homos", he studies the historical, political and philosophical grounds for the current distrust, within the gay community, of self-identifying moves, for the paradoxical desire to be invisibly visible. While acknowledging the dangers of any kind of group identification (if you can be singled out, you can be disciplined), Bersani argues for a bolder presentation of what it means to be gay. In their justifiable suspicion of labels, gay men and lesbians have nearly disappeared into their own sophisticated awareness of how they have been socially constructed. By downplaying their sexuality, gays risk self-immolation - they will melt into the stifling culture they had wanted to contest. In his chapters on contemporary queer theory, on Foucault and psychoanalysis, on the politics of sadomasochism and on the image of "the gay outlaw" in works by Gide, Proust, and Genet, Bersani discusses the possibility that same-sex desire by its very nature can disrupt oppressive social orders. His theory of "homo-ness" should be of interest to straights as well as gays, for it designates a mode of connecting to the world embodied in, but not reducible to, a sexual preference. The gay identity Bersani advocates is more of a "force" as such, rather cool to the modest goal of social tolerance for diverse lifestyles which can lead to a massive redefining of sociality itself, and of what we might expect from human communities..
