It focuses on the crossing of borders as revelatory of the mutual haunting of the “native” and the “alien.” But crossing the frontier also entails encountering the representatives of State violence. Through James’s mise en scène of his ambivalent fascination for the martial figure of the soldier, the frontier becomes a critical locus for the queering of identities and affiliations. Cet article explore les tensions qui résultent de la confrontation entre les figures du cosmopolite et du patriote dans une sélection de lettres et d’écrits de voyage de James. Il s’intéresse au passage de la frontière et à la façon dont celui-ci révèle la hantise mutuelle du « natif » et de l’« étranger ». Mais la frontière est aussi l’occasion d’une scène de rencontre avec les représentants de la violence d’État pour lesquels James voyageur éprouve une ambivalente fascination teintée d’érotisme qui déroute oppositions binaires et identifications normatives. |
