- Description
- Examination of the similarities and differences between LGBT studies and queer theory and the relationship between the two in the academic world. The authors place queer theory in social and historical contexts, exploring the implications for social psychology, religious studies, communications, sociology, philosophy, film studies and women's studies. Focus on: historical notes on LGBT studies and queer theory: tensions between LGBT studies and queer theory: doubts about whether queer theory can lead to social change: an analysis of the current state of 'proto-fields' of LGBT studies and queer studies in religion: concerns that queer theory’s 'erasure of identity' feeds into late capitalism: an analysis of variability in social psychologists’ studies of anti-homosexual prejudice: an exploration of the commodification of queer identities in independent cinema: how and why the category of bisexuality has been marginalized: a historical review and assessment of recent bisexual theory: a case study of Provincetown in the United States: an investigation of the interarticulation of race/ethnicity and gender: a case study of the struggle to introduce LGBT studies in the curriculum at a university. This monograph has been co-published simultaneously as Journal of Homosexuality vol. 52 (2006), numbers 1/2.
