Description
Book SynopsisMakes the provocative claim that queer theory has run its course, made obsolete by the elaboration of its own logic within capitalism.
Trade Review'The audacious and sound thesis of Penney's new book - that the political as such is structured by sexuality - reties the knot between Freud and Marx' -- Joan Copjec, Brown University
'Whether you're convinced or outraged by After Queer Theory, Penney's impressive research demands that you engage with it in the most serious terms' -- Nina Power, University of Roehampton, author of One-Dimensional Woman
'States that queer theory is now at a crucial turning point, when the only option is to undertake a radical and thorough critique of its presuppositions and present state. No other critics have undertaken such a project at the present time' -- Clive Thompson, School of Languages and Literatures, University of Guelph
