Mad for Foucault

By Lynne Huffer

0 - Default Title
Description
Contemporary critiques of sexuality have their origins in the work of Michel Foucault. Challenging an essentialist understanding of sex, Foucault was the first to develop the idea that sexuality was rooted in discipline and biopolitics, therefore revolutionizing our conception of sex and its relationship to society, economics, and culture. While Foucault's seminal arguments helped to establish the foundations of queer theory and greatly advance feminist critique, Lynne Huffer argues that our interpretation of the theorist's powerful ideas remains flawed. Throughout her analysis, Huffer works in her own personal experiences, along with Foucault's, sampling from unpublished interviews and other archival materials. In doing so, she intimately illustrates the problem of rethinking sexuality as a product of reason.
