Özet
Brokeback Mountain, written by Annie Proulx, depicts the lives of two gay men; Ennis and
Jack. This study intends to discuss and refer to homosexual concepts by taking the nature as a primary
concept in order to shed light both on the characters’ love affair in nature and their alienated selves in
civilization. It focuses upon two powers in the lives of people; nature versus civilization. Nature
presents an egalitarian attitude destroying all restrictions, definitions, distinctions and classifications.
Hence it stands for their free queer space as an opposition to the socially constructed traditional gender
roles while civilization stands for their forced heterosexual space and idea of being stuck in the closet.
The reason for being stuck in the closet is related to the fact that gay people are accepted as “
‘foreigners’ in their own culture and are reminded of this fact at every opportunity” (Jay&Young,
1992, p.21). Homosexuality is seen as an attack on the ideal classifications of the patriarchal ideology
and heteronormative qualities.
Key Words: Trans-corperality, body, nature, heteronormativity, civilization.
