Especially valuable is the clear account of authors who discuss psychoanalytic theory, such as Judith Butler, Lacan and Foucault. The authors make an important contribution to gender studies with their new conceptualization of the bodily imaginary, as a way to bridge the gap between gender theory and sexual difference theory.\" \u003ci\u003eAnn Ferguson, Professor of Philosophy and Women's Studies, University of Massachusetts at Amherst\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements. \u003cp\u003eIntroduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter One : Natural Women and Men.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Psychoanalysis and Gender.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Three: The Social Construction of Gender.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Judith Butler; 'The Queen of Queer'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Gender and Sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Theorising Men and Masculinities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: Bodily Imaginaries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: Sexual Difference.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Nine: Borderlands and Gendered Homes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Ten: Gender and the Politics of Identity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404348039511,"sku":"9780745619439","price":49.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/theorizing-gender-9780745619439","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
