Intellectual Desire

Intellectual Desire

Autobiographical essay that attempts to tease out intersections between class, culture, and sexuality. Bérubé recounts his past "in a way that focuses on class, ethnic, and educational migration" out of a homebase in working-class Franco America. The author writes: "I do my work now in the borderlands between social classes, between the university and the community, between heterosexual and homosexual, between educated speech and down-to-earth talk, between Franco-American and Québécois, between my family and the gay community." Reprinting of a presentation Bérubé gave at the 1992 Montreal colloquium, "La Ville en Rose: Le Premier colloque Québécois d'études lesbiennes et gaies." Also available in the anthology, "Queerly Classed: Gay Men and Lesbians Write About Class" (Boston: South End Press, 1997).
