Queer theory arose to challenge fixed sexual categories, but in the 1990s it risked becoming just another academic discipline. These essays ask what dangers and opportunities come with its legitimation. The first section reflects on how lesbian and gay studies is forming as a discipline in contrast to older fields; the second shows how queer studies depends on interdisciplinary reading and analysis.
