Queer Phenomenology

"This is an original and refreshing use of phenomenological theory to address the kinds of questions-about orientations and about how bodies and objects become oriented through their interrelations-that help link it more directly to political and social questions-about gender, sexuality, and race, for example-that have tended to be treated as outside or beyond phenomenological frameworks. This extension and development of phenomenology is a major contribution. "-Elizabeth Grosz, author of "The Nick of Time: Politics, Evolution, and the Untimely"
