Presentation Transcript

  1. Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick She is an American theorist in the fields of gender studies, queer theory, and critical theory.

  2. The 1980s, however, saw a reappraisal of political strategies and the emergence of a “highly productive queer community whose explicit basis [was] the crisis-crossing of the lines of identification and desire among genders, races and sexual definitions. ”

  3. By the early 1990s, it was possible to talk about queer theory as a vital new area of literary theory, […] its aim was to expose incoherencies in the supposedly stable definitions of male and female sexuality, to include not only gay and lesbian but also transgendered subjects, and to explore topics such as cross-dressing, gender ambiguity, and transsexuality.
