The Annihilation of the “Dogma of Sex” as the Way to the Final Emancipation of the “Homosap” or Gender According to William Burroughs

Dezydery Barłowski

Abstract

The article presents a thorough analysis of William S. Burroughs’s gender theory. In the first part of the text, the author characterizes Burroughs’s standpoint in the fields of literature, art, popculture, and the university. In the second part, the author explains how Burroughs understood the category of sex and gender. The third part is devoted to the way gender is represented in Burroughs’s novel The Wild Boys; in the fourth one, the author presents Burroughs’s conception of “queer” and shows how it corresponds with gender theories of radical feminists. The author concludes by emphasizing most important connections between Burroughs’s vision of sexuality and gender.
