Tracing the trajectory of same-sex discourse, the book charts the shift from early homophile organizations to gay liberation and the potent interventions of lesbian feminism. Jagose explores how the reappropriation of the word &#8216;queer&#8217; signaled a move away from rigid, essentialist categories of identity toward fluid, denaturalized understandings of gender and desire. Synthesizing the foundational insights of major theorists like Judith Butler and Michel Foucault, this volume deconstructs how normativity operates and examines the continuous political potential of queer destabilization.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n<h2><\/h2>\r\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\r\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n .TFtable<br \/> .TFtable td<br \/> \/*  Define the text for all the 2nd columns  *\/<br \/> .TFtable td:nth-child(2)<br \/><\/style>\r\n<table class=\"TFtable\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>ISBN: <\/strong>9781877133251<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Subtitle: <\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Genre: <\/strong>Lesbian Studies; LGBT Studies\/Social Sciences<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Subject(s): <\/strong>LGBTQ+ Demographic Studies; Politics &#038; Social Sciences; Social Sciences; Sociology<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Publication Date: <\/strong>September 1997<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Original Publication Date: <\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Publisher: <\/strong>Otago University Press<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Language: <\/strong>English<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Format: <\/strong>Paperback<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Pages: <\/strong>152<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Rating: <\/strong> <\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Notes: <\/strong>Queer Theory: An Introduction (1996) by Annamarie Jagose is a foundational academic text that explicitly chronicles the history and evolution of same-sex politics.
