  Articol:   NECESSARY FICTIONS: LITERATURE AND IDENTITY POLITICS.

Autori:  ALINA PREDA. 		 
       
         
  Rezumat:  Of all literary traditions, gay literature has been the one to suffer most at the repressive hands of censors, critics, literary historians, editors and scholars, who have either refused to acknowledge this tradition, or have been reluctant to including it in anthologies, biographies, reviews, academic curricula, etc. Identity is a sense of belonging to a community, and because heterosexual identity is considered the only valid one, homosexuals are denied identity—they are ‘the other’, where ‘otherness’ is exclusion, exile, abnormality, inferiority. Worse even, not only are gay people robbed of their identity, but also ‘endowed ‘with a distorted image that functions as a surrogate for what was taken away from them. It is the role of gay writers to present the real image of their community, in an accurate way, thus bringing to an end the traditionally imposed stereotypical images promoted by heterosexuals.
