The normative social ordering of identities and subjectivities along the heterosexual/homosexual binary; the privileging of one as natural and the other as deviant is not a primary concern for challenge in _____ .
Eagleton, Sweet Violence
Eagleton, Sweet Violence option is correct.
The critique of heteronormativity — the naturalisation of the heterosexual/homosexual binary and the disciplining of desire around it — is one of the founding tasks of queer theory. Its canonical texts explicitly set out to unsettle that binary.
Foucault's The History of Sexuality, Volume 1 (1976) genealogises the very invention of "the homosexual" as a species; Sedgwick's Epistemology of the Closet (1990) argues that modern Western culture is structured by an unstable homo/hetero definitional crisis; Butler's Gender Trouble (1990) reads the heterosexual matrix as a performative regulatory fiction. Each of the three makes challenging the binary its primary concern.
Terry Eagleton's Sweet Violence: The Idea of the Tragic (2003), by contrast, is a Marxist-humanist study of the category of tragedy, drawing on Hegel, Marx, Aristotle and Christian theology. Sexuality is not its organising problem, so it is the text in which the heteronormative binary is not a primary object of challenge.
