The Picture of Abjection

Film, Fetish, and the Nature of Difference

Produktbeschreibung

By mobilizing a theory of abjection, the book shows how the appeal to phallic, fetishistic theories continues to reify the hegemonic categories of race, class, sexuality, and gender, as if they stood as self-evident categories.
