Opis

Challenging the often unquestioned hegemony of gay studies over lesbian studies, Jagose offers a theory of the lesbian. Drawing upon the work of such theorists as Eve Sedgwick and Luce Irigaray, she articulates a theory of lesbian space which symbolically exceeds the boundaries of understanding.

Recenzje

"A brave and rigorous book that makes the complex theory and politics of lesbian textual practice speak out. Its thoughtful and intriguing analysis of several tropes central to lesbian and gay studies makes it an indispensable part of the generation of books following Judith Butler's. Incorporating a wide variety of critical discourses from feminist theory to psychoanalysis and philosophy, this book demonstrates and extends the depth of the field of lesbian studies." -- Judith Roof
