Prison as a Queer Space in Sarah Waters?s Affinity
Original language description
This paper analyses the significance of the concept of prison as a queer space in the 1999 novel Affinity by contemporary British author Sarah Waters. is Neo-Victorian, i.e., post- modern Victorian novel, deals with the topical effects of repression based on suppressed or denied sexual orientation and gender identity. The Victorian and contemporary notions of criminality and sexuality are analyzed in connection with prison, which is interpreted as a place open to transgression of heteronormativity. Suffering from social restrictions, the protagonist discovers and fully develops her personal and sexual identity only within the oppressive, yet at the same time, more permissive space of the female prison that, paradoxically, grants her freedom and independence.
