 The
Bisexual Imaginary: Representation, Identity and Desire by
Bi Academic Intervention (Editors), Ann Kaloski-Naylor (Co-editor
and Contributor)
A wide-ranging analysis of bisexual concerns and
a timely argument for the centrality of bisexual theory to gender
studies, lesbian and gay studies, and cultural and literary
studies.
"There is a maturity and thoughtfulness in
this collection which marks the beginning of a shift away from the
defensive position of 'all the myths about bisexuals are untrue
and we're wonderful people really' and towards a more critical
analysis of some of the bisexual community's cherished articles of
faith, such as the emphasis on 'diversity'. To me this is a
welcome sign that we are starting to look critically at our own
assumptions - which is, after all, one of the main aims of the
editors' much-needed 'intervention.'" -- Claire Parry, BCN
This text includes an Introduction, round table
discussion, and article by Ann Kaloski-Naylor on bisexual readings
of lesbian feminist coming out fiction.

Biography
Work at the postgraduate Centre for Women's
Studies, University of York, England - a centre that has a good
number of sexuality specialists. My particular fields are cultural
and literary studies, and I enjoy teaching in non-traditional
ways, encouraging students to use their imagination alongside
their intellect.
