Гендер и пол: О поэтическом субъекте в текстах Яшки Казановы, Наили Ямаковой, Гилы Лоран и Марианны Гейде

Abstract

This paper examines categories like “sex” and “gender” as potential attributes of poetic subjectivity in contemporary Russian poetry, primarily in the marginal cases where the sex and gender signs of a lyrical subject are relevant for poetic reflection and are involved in the deconstruction of the traditional “male/female” cultural opposition and the representation of genderqueer (or other non-binary) identities. Non-binary gender identities are contextualized by the co-relation between sex/gender, gender self-representation (gender expression), and sexual and romantic attraction, which implicate various combinations of masculinity and femininity as they define the identity of the lyrical subject. The paper discusses several non-binary identities such as the polygender homosexual lyrical subject (Gila Loran, Iashka Kazanova), androgynous bisexual subject (Nailia Iamakova), and the agender asexual subject (Marianna Geide).
