Insult And The Making Of The Gay Self by Didier Eribon
A concise, autobiographical and theoretical study arguing that homophobic insults do more than demean—they help produce the very subject they attack by marking desire, shaping shame, secrecy, and modes of selfhood; combining memoir, sociology and philosophy, it traces how family dynamics, class position and public discourse work together to objectify and regulate gay men, showing how language and social power both wound and organize identity, and exploring the political and psychological stakes of recognition, stigma, and resistance.
