Queer Theory
July 12, 2008
Queer
theory is a field of Gender Studies that emerged in
the early 1990s out of the fields of gay and lesbian
studies and feminist studies. Heavily influenced by the
work of Michel Foucault, queer theory builds both upon
feminist challenges to the idea that gender is part of
the essential self and upon gay/lesbian studies' close
examination of the socially constructed nature of sexual
acts and identities. Whereas gay/lesbian studies focused
its inquiries into "natural" and "unnatural" behavior
with respect to homosexual behavior, queer theory
expands its focus to encompass any kind of sexual
activity or identity that falls into normative and
deviant categories. We encourage you to
read more about queer theory here.
