Sexuality, Iconography, and Fiction in FrenchQueering the Martyr /[electronic resource] :by Jason James Hartford. - 1st ed. 2018. - XVII, 243 p. 1 illus.online resource.

1 Introduction: Queering the Martyr -- 2 A Cultural History of Queer Martyrs -- 3 Flaubert’s Queer Revelation -- 4 Narrative, Icon, and Polemic: Eekhoud.- 5 Modern Archetypes: Artaud and Genet -- 6 Queer Allegories: Tournier and Hocquenghem -- 7 Conclusion: Reckoning the Queer Martyr.

This book explores the modern cultural history of the queer martyr in France and Belgium. By analyzing how popular writers in French responded to Catholic doctrine and the tradition of St. Sebastian in art, Queering the Martyr shows how religious and secular symbols overlapped to produce not one, but two martyr-types: the queer type, typified first by Gustave Flaubert, which is a philosophical foil, and the gay type, popularized by Jean Genet but created by the Belgian Georges Eekhoud, which is a political and pornographic device. Grounded in feminist queer theory and working from a post-psychoanalytical point of view, the argument explores the potential and limits of these two figures, noting especially the persistence of misogyny in religious culture. .
