Male homossexual identity in proulx’s brokeback mountain: beyond masculinity and heteronormativity
Sexuality involves all human actions, which means to understand such concept differently from those offered by biology and anthropology. Annie Proulx’s short story, Brokeback Mountain was an icon of male homosexual identity even before its film’s adaptation. As language constitutes reality, the representation of what we are is evoked through our discourses. The dialogue between psychoanalysis and linguistics constitute the methodology of this study.
