..". innovative and important thinking about the various
relations between feminist theory, queer theory, and lesbian
theory, as well as the possibility that liberation can be mutual
rather than mutually exclusive." Lambda Book Report
When feminism meets queer theory, no introductions seem
necessary. The two share common political interests a concern for
women s and gay and lesbian rights and many of the same academic
and intellectual roots. And yet, they can also seem like strangers,
needing mediation, translation, clarification. This volume focuses
on the encounters of feminist and queer theories, on the ways in
which basic terms such as "male" and "female," "man" and "woman,"
"black," "white," "sex," "gender," and "sexuality" change meaning
as they move from one body of theory to another. Along with essays
by Judith Butler, Evelynn Hammonds, Biddy Martin, Kim Michasiw,
Carole-Anne Tyler, and Elizabeth Weed, there are interviews: Judith
Butler engages Rosi Braidotti and Gayle Rubin in separate revealing
discussions. And there are critical exchanges: Rosi Braidotti and
Trevor Hope exchange comments on his reading of her work; and
Teresa de Lauretis responds to Elizabeth Grosz s review of her
recent book."
