In the story of the three baseball umpires two novice umpires compete in boasting how they respect «truth» and the way things «really» are. One says «I call them the way I see them» the other trying to trump this remark responds «I call them the way they are». Then enters the third most seasoned umpire saying «They aren't until I call them». This book deals with two widely argued issues in literature criticism today performativity and subjectivity. How do people become who they are? What scripts do they follow when they «do» gender race and sexuality? Tying into speech act theories and subjectivity theories as well as gender race and sexuality studies the author explores - through the close reading of several American texts - the many ways words make «things» in literature.
