Drawing on the discourse surrounding the perceived "Frenchness" of Oscar Wilde's play Salomé, the chapter focuses on isomorphic thinking and the way sexuality and nationality were thought of in similar ways in the nineteenth century. This structural similarity facilitated the formation of a gay male community, since men could use references to national belonging as a model for identity and a code for mutual recognition. But women had no such claim to citizenship in their own right, thus this paradigm applied only to men. |
