Thesis (Ph.D.)--Northwestern University, 2002.

This dissertation analyzes Francophone and Anglophone novels and films by theorizing the tactics used by their marginalized protagonists to legitimize themselves in what they perceive as mainstream society. Often, dominant culture reduces its perception of social identities of marginalized individuals or groups to sketchy stereotypes. As an alternative to such a conception, I theorize the construction of identities in terms of what I call <italic>identification clusters</italic> (after Hall's distinction between <italic>identity</italic>—a static entity—and <italic>identification</italic> which emphasizes the process and thus a concept in flux). Such a move emphasizes the polyvalent nature of identification and allows for the possibility of conceptualizing the self as a composite of various <italic>clusterpoints</italic> of identification (e.g. race-ethnicity-class). This model draws upon Homi Bhabhas's concept of <italic>hybridity</italic> and Françoise Lionnet's notion of <italic> métissage</italic> and owes much to the work of Michel de Certeau and Stuart Hall.

520 $a This dissertation analyzes Francophone and Anglophone novels and films by theorizing the tactics used by their marginalized protagonists to legitimize themselves in what they perceive as mainstream society. Often, dominant culture reduces its perception of social identities of marginalized individuals or groups to sketchy stereotypes. As an alternative to such a conception, I theorize the construction of identities in terms of what I call <italic>identification clusters</italic> (after Hall's distinction between <italic>identity</italic>—a static entity—and <italic>identification</italic> which emphasizes the process and thus a concept in flux).

520 $a The introduction develops the theoretical model through a close reading of one scene in <italic>Au revoir les enfants</italic> (Louis Malle, 1986). Each of the subsequent chapters examines the intersection of two or more clusterpoints that interact to articulate certain identifications. Chapters 1 and 2 concentrate on the intersection of gender, ethnic and political clusterpoints in novels by Azouz Begag, Soraya Nini and Farida Belghoul, all French-born children of North-African immigrants to France. Chapter 3 focuses on <underline>My Beautiful Laundrette</underline> (Hanif Kureishi/Stephen Frears, 1986) and <underline> Les Roseaux sauvages</underline> (André Téchiné, 1994). It explores the construction of ethnic, political and sexual orientations in the context of Alan Sinfield's criticism of the Western Gay Rights movement as well as Stuart Hall's nuanced reading of the political effects of globalization on the “local.” The final two chapters intervene in the debate about the intersection of sexual orientation and gender among feminists and queer theorists including Eve Sedgwick, Judith Butler, Anne Fausto-Sterling and Stephen Madisson. I show how the films <underline>Gazon maudit</underline> (Josiane Balasko, 1995) and <underline>Ma Vie en rose</underline> (Alain Berliner, 1997) can be read as critiques of popular culture's problematic tendency to conflate gender issues with its notions about sexual orientation.
