- ItemOpen AccessBreaking heterosoc, making a queerworld: using a queer directorial aesthetic to re-envision Hedda Gabler(2011) Rademeyer, Philip; Hyland, GeoffreyThis essay explicates the queering of a seminal realist text, Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, by means of a queer directorial aesthetic. Using queer theory, the heterosexual matrix (built on a rigid gender binary) and the nuclear family are posited as the crux of heteronormativity, which is the assumption and expectation that subjects are heterosexual.
