"This book is a succinct, pedagogically designed introduction. As
classroom text, Sullivan's work is heady with vibrant debate and
slim heuristics; her intellectual clarity is stunning."
--"Choice"
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. Sullivan
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.
