Description
Although some scholars no longer see a place for feminist theory in analyses of sexuality, this article shows that there are lessons to be learned by examining queer theory through the lens of feminism. The author undertakes several feminist and then queer theory readings of the film Secretary and the divorce case, Twyman v. Twyman. This article shows that feminism, despite being sometimes perceived as "anti-sex", can be helpful in understanding sexuality. The author argues that feminism may sometimes need to suspend its focus on gender. She also shows how bringing gender back into the analysis can shed greater light on how law and society deal with sadomasochism and other forms of sexual expression. While her discussion is structured mainly along disciplinary lines, she suggests that it may be time to worry less about intellectual territory and more about intellectual trespass. Si certains specialistes jugent que la theorie feministe n'a plus sa place dans les analyses de la sexualite, cet article tente de demontrer qu'il y a des lecons a tirer d'un examen de la "queer theory sous l'angle feministe. L'auteure entreprend plusieurs lectures, parfois feministes et parfois inspirees de la queer theory, du film Secretary et d'une affaire de divorce, Twyman v. Twyman. L'article se propose de demontrer que meme s'il est parfois percu comme oppose au sexe, le feminisme peut aider a comprendre la sexualite. L'auteure soutient que le feminisme doit parfois devoir mettre en veilleuse son insistance sur les identites sexuelles. Elle veut egalement montrer de quelle maniere l'inclusion des identites sexuelles dans les analyses de discours peut permettre une meilleure comprehension de la maniere dont le droit et la societe traitent du sadomasochisme et d'autres formes d'expression sexuelle. Si son analyse se conforme dans l'ensemble aux lignes disciplinaires usuelles, l'auteure suggere neanmoins que le temps est peut-etre venu de s'inquieter moins de territorialite intellectuelle et davantage d'intrusion intellectuelle.
