Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick

Tendencies

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Because of the polymorphousness of its disciplinary perversity, "Tendencies, " taken together with Sedgwick's two previous books, virtually defines the new field of queer studies. The opulent availability of an embodied self who also happens to be a brilliant reader marks Sedgwick's effort throughout this volume. It is also what allows one the tutelary space for taking, not only pleasure from her work, but courage from her example."--James Creech, author of "Closet Writing/Gay Reading"
