Unknown Author

4.9/5 (30312 ratings)

Description:This book contends that the sex/gender distinction is deeply and fundamentally flawed and must be transcended. A wide-range of politico-social discourses have come to depend upon it but the difficulties it engenders are insurmountable and tend to resurface even where attempts have been made to re-think it.The authors comprehensively reorientate the field by arguing that we cannot continue to found something we call 'gender' upon a naturalistic division of people into groupings on the basis of their shared, sexed characteristics, nor can we even take those groupings for granted as embodying a necessary set of differences. To this end, the work of Foucault, Connell, Goffman, Garfinkel, Butler, Freud, Derrida, Saussure, Lacquer and Kessler and McKenna is woven into a rich and compelling set of arguments. Incisive and enlightening, this book will be required reading for students of Sociology or Cultural Studies--indeed for any discipline in he Social Sciences or Humanities in which gender is discussed.
