THE ORIG OF QUEER THEORY: GAYLE RUB’S “THKG SEX”
Fouult’s relevance is of such central importance not least bee of his attempts to addrs the power dynamics and social nstctns around homosexualy throughout history and madns his History of Sexualy and History of Madns (see also, disurs, power-knowledge, bpower, and episteme).
Queer Theory wouldn’t merely seek to expand the boundari of “normal” to clu circumstanc like homosexualy or, stretchg the ia further, tersex ndns but to abolish the ia that “normal” is anythg but nstrag and opprsive entirely (see also, vlence of tegorizatn). The three most fluential early queer Theorists would have been Judh Butler, Gayle Rub, and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, although Jack/Judh Halberstam, Lren Berlant, Leo Bersani, Lee Elman, and David Halper, among others, have been particularly fluential.
