Queer Studies: An Interdiciplinary Reader
"There is much here that is fascinating and adds to our knowledge of the multiplicity of ways in which people experience and live their sexualities."Sexualities"Refusing the easy collapse of queer studies into gay and lesbian studies, Corber and Valocchi offer scholars and activists a collection of essays that maps the complexities of non-normative desires as they are produced in and through social institutions, economic practices, disciplinary structures, and cultural discourse. In the process, they reclaim the political hope that queer studies is a radical intervention into regimes of being and knowing!"Robyn Wiegman, Duke University"Queer Studiesmay very well be the first Reader that students and professors should consult to get an overview of the field. Interdisciplinary, ambitious, and accessible, the volume is a fine contribution to this dynamic field."Steven Seidman, University at Albany, State University of New York"There is much here that is fascinating and adds to our knowledge of the multiplicity of ways in which people experience and live their sexualities"Richard Dunphy, University of Dundee
