On Brokeback Mountain: Meditations about Masculinity, Fear, and Love in the Story and the Film: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "On Brokeback Mountain: Meditations about Masculinity, Fear, and Love in the Story and the Film" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

On Brokeback Mountain: Meditations About Masculinity, Fear, and Love in the Story and the Film provides a close, detailed, comparative discussion of the short story and the film in relation to ways of understanding masculinity and love between men in American culture. It uses analytical ideas from gay and lesbian/queer studies, American studies, social history, film history, and literary history, but avoids specialized theoretical language in order to be accessible to the many people interested in the story and the film. Original, interdisciplinary, and engaging, On Brokeback Mountain is intended to be not only useful to academic specialists but also accessible and readable for any interested, educated reader. The two versions of Brokeback Mountain are significant for taking readers and audiences inside the perspectives of men who love men, showing what physical and emotional passion, and hostility toward that passion, may be like for them. The story and the film help in understanding the many men who love men and who dont fit stereotypes of gay men or participate in the gay/queer worlds of urban/academic communities, especially men in rural areas and in working class contexts. This book examines the presentation of friendship, sex, and love between men in Brokeback Mountain, as well as the depiction of homophobia and its effects on men who love men and their families. It relates the story and the film to the literary tradition of the homoerotic pastoral, the literary/movie tradition of the Western, and the tradition of the tragic romantic love story.

About the Author

Eric Patterson lives in central New York State with his partner of nineteen years, T.R. Forbes, whos a soil scientist and writer. They share interests in progressive politics; history; science; the environment; watching and identifying birds and animals; watching rugby (and rugby players); music; art; and literature and film, particularly fiction and movies about the lives of men who love men. They support organizations that help sexual minority people and people with HIV and organizations that help animals and the environment. They both enjoy the outdoors and living in the country, and use organic methods to cultivate about an acre of land around their house, with the assistance of their dog friend, Mina, a lively, devoted, mixed-breed (yellow Labish) spayed female whose main interest is patrolling her yard for all species of rodents. With Mina theyve explored the fields, woods, and creeks in the countryside near their home. They know a number of gay men in the area where they live, and value their friendship highly. T.R. presently is completing a novel based on his experiences in South America in the 1970s. At Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York, Eric teaches courses on American culture, American literature, and the history and culture of sexual/gender minority people, and advocates policies and practices that challenge heterosexist privilege and support full inclusion and equality for those who differ from the majority in sexuality and gender, and for people of all identities.
