Reattachment Theory by Lee Wallace

Through innovative readings of gay and lesbian films, Lee Wallace offers a provocative argument that queer experiments in domesticity have profoundly reshaped heterosexual marriage to such an extent that now all marriage is gay marriage.
“Gay marriage: heteronormative capture or homophobia's social cure? If Lee Wallace gets her way, we will be liberated from thinking about gay marriage in these reductive terms foreverInsightful, nervy, and unapologetic, Reattachment Theory makes a case for gay marriage as central to the history of sexual modernity.” -- Robyn Wiegman, Professor of Literature, Duke University
“Reattachment Theory is a pointed engagement with contemporary queer theory and politics, making the fresh and compelling argument that homosexuality rescripted the marriage plot long before the legalization of same-sex marriage. Lee Wallace is an extraordinarily gifted close reader who sets new terms for queer marriage debates and film theory alike.” -- Patricia White, author of * Women’s Cinema, World Cinema: Projecting Contemporary Feminisms *
"This well-researched, clearly argued, beautifully written, and brave book has few flaws." -- Elizabeth Freeman * Critical Inquiry *
Lee Wallace is Associate Professor of Gender and Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney and author of Lesbianism, Cinema, Space: The Sexual Life of Apartments.
