Los estudios Queer ofrecen una profunda revisión de las prácticas asociadas a la sexualidad y al erotismo, a la normalidad y a la perversión, de las nociones de producción cultural y de reproducción social, del activismo político y del compromiso intelectual, de las identidades individuales y de las mitologías colectivas, de las retóricas de lo explícito y de lo implícito. Gestados durante la década de los ochenta ha alumbrado en los noventa un conjunto plural de trabajos que pretenden desestabilizar los cánones artísticos, transgredir los patrones unívocos y subvertir de forma sistemática sus propios límites y los códigos dualistas que definen los comportamientos heteronormativos. Esta antología recoge artículos de nueve de los teóricos queer norteamericanos más relevantes en el ámbito de los estudios históricos y literarios, la sociología, la filosofía, el psicoanálisis, los medios de comunicación y la pedagogía. Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Judith Butler, Diana Fuss, Donal Morton, Joshua Gamson, Robyn Wiegman, Deborah P.Britzman, Lauren Berlant y Michael Warner.

Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick

Author · 11 books

Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick was an American academician specializing in literary criticism and feminist analysis; she is known as one of the architects of queer theory. Her works reflect an interest in queer performativity, experimental critical writing, non-Lacanian psychoanalysis, Buddhism and pedagogy, the affective theories of Silvan Tomkins and Melanie Klein, and material culture, especially textiles and texture. Drawing on feminist scholarship and the work of Michel Foucault, Sedgwick uncovered purportedly hidden homoerotic subplots in writers like Charles Dickens, Henry James and Marcel Proust. Sedgwick argued that an understanding of virtually any aspect of modern Western culture would be incomplete or damaged if it failed to incorporate a critical analysis of modern homo/heterosexual definition, coining the terms "antihomophobic" and "homosocial."

Judith Butler

Author · 36 books

Judith Butler is an American post-structuralist and feminist philosopher who has contributed to the fields of feminism, queer theory, political philosophy and ethics. They are currently a professor in the Rhetoric and Comparative Literature departments at the University of California, Berkeley. Butler received their Ph.D. in philosophy from Yale University in 1984, for a dissertation subsequently published as Subjects of Desire: Hegelian Reflections in Twentieth-Century France. In the late-1980s they held several teaching and research appointments, and were involved in "post-structuralist" efforts within Western feminist theory to question the "presuppositional terms" of feminism. Their research ranges from literary theory, modern philosophical fiction, feminist and sexuality studies, to 19th- and 20th-century European literature and philosophy, Kafka and loss, and mourning and war. Their most recent work focuses on Jewish philosophy and exploring pre- and post-Zionist criticisms of state violence.
