Queer Theories explores and aggressively expands the provocative new field of sexual identity studies. It covers the history of the terms 'gay' and 'lesbian' as identity categories, the reclamation of the word 'queer' as a term of radical self-identification, and the recent challenges to sexual identity studies posed by transgender and bisexual theories. Donald E. Hall also offers concrete applications of the abstract theories that he explores with imaginative new readings of works such as 'The Yellow Wallpaper', Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Orlando and The Color Purple

The article examines queer as critique by performing a series of parallel readings of leading queer thinkers, including Judith Butler, Eve Sedgwick, and Michael Warner. Introducing two philosophical traditions and strategies of social critique, immanent and intervening critique, along with their criteria of what is right and good, I discuss how these scholars engage in these strategies and wrestle with their in-built problems within the orbit of the research foci and ambitions of queer studies. Queer critique aims at challenging dominant knowledges, social hierarchies and norms related to sex, sexuality, and gender by exposing the limits they impose on us, including the sufferings associated with them. The article closes with considering queer political visions and their normative underpinnings.

"Political education is the practice of using knowledge for action, whether its serving and educating the community or taking personal action.

Winona State University (WSU) student Cassidy Vogel blog post discusses and shared their experiences engaging in political education beyond the classroom.

Was hat der Begriff Gender mit der Dekonstruktion zu tun, in deren Zeichen seit den 1960er Jahren eine radikale Kritik an den hierarchischen, machtgesättigten Grundoppositionen des abendländischen Denkens erfolgt? Inwiefern ist die Geschlechtsidentität gesellschaftlich konstruiert und wie kann sie dekonstruiert werden? In welchem Zusammenhang stehen die emanzipatorischen Ziele der Queer-Theorie mit dekonstruktiven Denkbewegungen? Entlang einer historisch systematischen Hinführung, eines Begriffsglossars und einer kommentierten Bibliographie widmet sich der Band den Grundlagen der Gender- und Queer-Theorie. Er richtet sich an Studierende aller geistes-, sozial- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen und ist zugleich als Einführung und Nachschlagewerk geeignet.
