Academics To Meet To Talk About Sex and Faulkner -- in Mississppi!
by John Branston
- William Faulker, world-renowned perv.
The professor is referring to the work of Nobel Prize-winning writer William Faulkner. And as for "literary study," he's referring to academic approaches such as queer theory and feminist readings.
According to Kartiganer, "The 'male gaze' as a form of sexual objectification, the 'blackness' of sexual mystery, the interaction of heterosexual and same-sex dynamics illustrate how diverse and wide-ranging the sexualities of Faulkner's fiction can be."
“"Sexualities" in the work of William Faulkner is the theme of the 34th annual Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference scheduled for July 22nd-26th on the Ole Miss campus in Oxford.
