A Critical Introduction to Queer Theory

FROM THE PUBLISHER

A Critical Introduction to Queer Theory explores the ways in which sexuality, subjectivity, and sociality have been discursively produced in various historical and cultural contexts. The book begins by putting gay and lesbian sexuality and politics in historical context and demonstrates how, and why, queer theory emerged in the West in the late twentieth century. It goes on to provide a detailed overview of the complex ways in which queer theory has been employed, covering a diversity of key topics including: race, sadomasochism, straight sex, fetishism, community, popular culture, transgender, and performativity. Each chapter focuses on a distinct issue or topic, provides a critical analysis of the specific ways in which it has been responded to by critics (including Freud, Foucault, Derrida, Judith Butler, Jean-Luc Nancy, Adrienne Rich, and Laura Mulvey), introduces key terms, and uses contemporary cinematic texts as examples.
