While Lesbian Studies is established as a commodity in the academic marketplace, its disciplinary contours are rather more obscure-and even more problematically, its disciplinary genealogy remains somewhat crude. The dominant genealogy of Lesbian Studies might best be characterized as a 'collision model,' a battle between politics and theory, even though much existing scholarship draws on both Lesbian-Feminist Theory and Queer Theory.1 This article proposes that the tools and methods of a sub-field called 'Lesbian Cultural History' might be useful in generating other historical accounts of the origins and evolution of Lesbian Studies. Such a project is vital because the writing of our disciplinary History clarifies how we envision a disciplinary future.
虽然女同性恋研究在学术市场上已成为一种商品，但其学科轮廓却相当模糊——更成问题的是，其学科谱系仍有些粗糙。女同性恋研究的主流谱系或许最好被描述为一种“碰撞模型”，即政治与理论之间的斗争，尽管现有的许多学术研究都借鉴了女同性恋女权主义理论和酷儿理论。本文提出，一个名为“女同性恋文化史”的子领域的工具和方法，可能有助于生成关于女同性恋研究起源和演变的其他历史叙述。这样一个项目至关重要，因为我们学科历史的书写阐明了我们如何设想学科的未来。
