- W821551325 abstract "Willa Cather contests the contemporary notion that identification links to a natural or original order. For example, that man equals masculine and femininity comes from an essential connection to woman. Cather deconstructs normativity through her use of character relationships in order to redefine successful interpersonal alliances. Thus, Alexandra, the protagonist of O Pioneers! builds a home and friendships that exemplify alternatives to stasis. My readings of O Pioneers! display the places in the novel where Cather subtly contests the ideology of naturalization. I make lesbian erotic and queer social interactions visible through a discourse on Cather’s symbolism. I favor queer theory as a mode of inquiry that magnifies the power and presence of heteronormativity and I examine Cather’s work as a critique of cultural principles that inflict violence against individuals who participate in dissent from conformity. INDEX WORDS: Willa Cather, O Pioneers!, Alexandra Bergson, Queer Interpretations, Queer Theory ILLUMINATING THE QUEER SUBTEXT: THE UNMENTIONED AFFAIRS IN WILLA CATHER’S O PIONEERS!" @default.
