Compiler’s Notes:

 

Expansively during the 1990s, coming out events have been instrumentalised to constitute a distinctive genre in the narration of the sexual self. Specifically, ‘coming out’ figures as a paradigmatic ‘milestone’ effort in auto/biographical forging of the self-accepting persona. Coming out, as self-disclosure and confession, seems in-between in a current Western tripartite psychiatry: betwixt the normal (not requiring coming or outing), and the abnormal (in which coming out is contained and preceded through potential and concrete medical intervention). Such non-coming-outs (hypothetically akin the work and performance in ‘closets’/closeting) seem culturally articulated taxonomically and formally in the cultural option/necessity of their ambiguously positive counterpart events. Spatial and temporal, the social self coming out teases out the re/production and contestation of confinement, entrapment and curriculum. The list, as previous ones, might have included many more writings. This has its roots in the (increasingly?) ‘soft’ nature of the theme sedimented in a commodity-centred/confessionist/consumer identity culture that is contemporary North-America, a nestling ensuring a steady increase of subacademic demand, digestion and manufacture; extra-American production mainly seems to follow American market experiences.

 

In assembling the list below, a number of web-available bibliographic efforts have been useful: Gregory Ward’s excellent Studies on Gay & Lesbian Language: A Partial Bibliography, Passing Twice Bibliography of Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Coming Out Issues, Susan Luévano’s Coming Out: A Selected Bibliography, Richard F. Ramsay’s bibliography, and Lavender Information and Library Association (LILA)’s bibliography by Pat Anderson. Also consider fiction and cinema on the matter.
