Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Pennsylvania State University, 1993.

Building upon the techniques of ethnography, the author examines the collegiate experiences of students with same-sex attractions as they struggle to develop a sense of gay identity. Theoretically, this work is grounded in critical postmodern views of social life where issues of language, culture, and power are central. The focus is on how a group of gay students who identify as "queer" form the core of the gay student community at a large research university. This core group of students constitutes a contraculture in that they exist in opposition to fundamental aspects of both the culture of the institution and of the larger society. The author makes three key points: First, the collegiate experiences of gay students have been largely neglected. Hence, one goal of this text is to shed light on a group of students who have rarely been studied. In relation to this first point, the author focuses upon three aspects of students' experiences in college: the closet, coming out, and becoming political engaged as cultural workers. A second point of this work is to highlight how the queer contraculture acts as the principal source of socialization for gay students. As an agent of socialization, the queer contraculture thus contributes to the formation of gay identities. And finally, a third point of this work is to develop a view of gay identity that is inclusive and yet provides for a sense of solidarity needed to organize around oppression. Previous sexual identity theory has focused on either essentialist or social constructivist views. The author argues that the essentialist/constructivist dualism is conceptually inadequate for explaining the range of gay identities. An alternative view is presented in terms of a gay ethnic model where sexual identity reflects both ascribed and acquired qualities.Subjects--Topical Terms:
