Scholars and activists often narrate the history of gender and
feminism as a progression of "waves," said to mark high points of
innovation in theory and moments of political breakthrough. Arguing
for the notion of multiple futurities over that of progressive
waves, Beyond Gender combines theoretical work with practical
applications to provide an advanced introduction to contemporary
feminist and sexuality research and advocacy. This comprehensive
monograph documents the diversification of gender-related
disciplines and struggles, arguing for a multidisciplinary approach
to issues formerly subsumed under the unified field of gender
studies. Split into two parts, the volume demonstrates how the
notion of gender has been criticized by various theories pertaining
to masculinity, feminism, and sexuality, and also illustrates how
the binary and hierarchical ordering system of gender has been
troubled or overcome in practice: in queer performance, legal
critique, the classroom, and textual analysis. Taking a fresh
approach to contemporary debates in feminist and sexuality studies,
Beyond Gender will appeal to undergraduate students interested in
fields such as Feminism and Sexuality Studies, Gender Studies,
Feminist Theory, and Masculinity Studies.
