A brilliant and readable account of the history of sexuality in critical discourse, providing a context for the subject and an overview of current debates.
Joseph Bristow introduces readers to the most influential contemporary theories of sexual desire and reveals how nineteenth century scientists invented 'sexuality'. This clear and fascinating introductory guide makes complex theoretical ideas accessible to readers of all levels. It explores:
the lasting influence of late-Victorian sexology
conflicting accounts of eroticism
the place of Freud and Lacan within cultural studies, literary criticism and feminist theory
the importance of Bataille, Baudrillard, Cixous, Deleuze, Irigaray and Kristeva
the legacy of Michel Foucault in queer theory today
postmodern sexual identities, and the contemporary emphasis on erotic diversity.
