Good afternoon.Distinguished profeors and teachers, thank you for attending the oral defense.I am chenlulu, firstly, I would like to expre my sincere gratitude to my supervisor shenping, without her intellectual guidance, I would not be able to accomplish this thesis.Then, get down to busine.My topic is An Analysis of Brokeback Mountain from the Perspective of Queer Theory.Firstly ,The reason why I choose this topic is that with the deepening of China’s reform and opening up，the academic exchanges and effects between the countries became increasingly close.In China，due to various reasons，homosexual literature is still in its infancy, and both scope and depth of research still have a long way to expand.Obviously, China should make greater efforts to follow the space of the western countries.The purpose of this thesis lies in analyzing the Brokeback Mountain from the perspective of queer theory to obtain a better picture of homosexual literature and the culture clash between homosexuality and American tradition.The most important point is that through this study, we could have a better and further understanding of queer theory so as to follow the pace of the world and accept new ideas.Secondly, the main content of my thesis, this thesis is composed of five parts: The first part serves as an introduction of the Annie Proulx’s life experiences, her main achievements and the plot of Brokeback Mountain.Meanwhile a brief summary of critical response to this novel is also included in this part.Brokeback Mountain is one of Annie Proulx’s short stories, which has won the O•Henry Award prize and subsequently has been made into the film of the same name by the famous director Ang Lee.It tells a story about the complex romantic and sexual relationship between two men in the American West from 1963 to 1981.The second part provides the origin, rise and development of the queer theory.At the same time, it explains the main principles of queer theory and its application in literary criticism.Queer theory is a new sexual theory, which emerged in 1990.It is a field of study combining history, sociology, literature and the other courses, which involves reading a large number of books and papers and aeing before practical research to be undertaken.Queer theory does not refer to a particular theory, but a variety of comprehensive interdisciplinary theory, which is not in the position of the mainstream culture：These people and their theory can not find its own position in the mainstream culture and they also are not willing to find a position in the mainstream culture.The third part analyzes the main characters in Brokeback Mountain from the perspective of queer theory by deconstructing sex and gender, that is, anti-sexism.Of course, this part is the most important part of the whole thesis.And I will focus on three aspects to discu it —— The Conflict between Homosexual Love and Heterosexual Families, Fighting against Heterosexual Hegemony and Struggling for Unrestrained Personality.Although Annie Proulx may not have been mean to work out this book within the particular framework of queer theory, many evidences indicate that some qualities of the main characters and plots are in accordance with the main principles of queer theory.For example, Jack and Ennis, the main characters in Brokeback Mountain who have been married, but after they met again they still have sex, which means they could make love with both man and woman.This plot is in line with the idea of queer theory：Questioning the gay and lesbian identity, queer theory criticizes the static identity concept and puts forward a kind of flow and change of ideas.In the conclusion of the thesis, it gives a positive affirmation to the application of queer theory to literary criticism and the ultimate goal of queer theory is analyzed and commented at the same time.Thirdly, the problems still in my thesis.Firstly, although the queer theory has been introduced into China, due to various reasons, there are not many books related to queer theory.Therefore, the theoretical basis of my thesis may be relatively weak.I hope that china can be more open and aggreive in terms of culture so that queer theory can be obtained by more people and the relevant research and works could spring up like mushroom.Secondly, as queer theory is one of the latest theories that brought into China in recent years, it is hard for me to have a better and deeper understanding in such a short time.Thirdly, the target item of this thesis is the short novel Brokeback Mountain.However, the truth is Ang Lee’s film is more famous than the origin.So it is difficult to find critic reviews to support my ideas.That all!Thank you！
