Inside/out

Lesbians and gays have gone from "coming out," to "acting up," to "outing," meanwhile radically redefining society's views on sexuality and gender. The essays in "Inside/Out" employ a variety of approaches (psychoanalysis, deconstruction, semiotics, and discourse theory) to investigate representations of sex and sexual difference in literature, film, video, music, and photography. Engaging the figures of divas, dykes, vampires and queens, the contributors address issues such as AIDS, pornography, pedagogy, authorship, and activism. "Inside/Out" shifts the focus from sex to sexual orientation, provoking a reconsideration of the concepts of the sexual and the political.Fuss, Diana is the author of 'Inside/out' with ISBN 9780415902366 and ISBN 0415902363.
