| | Social Research: Culture, sexual lifeways, and developmental subjectivities: rethinking sexual taxonomies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | Taken together, this work has revealed some of the ways in which specific sexual identities are socially and discursively instantiated--on the body and in the mind--as alternately privileged or marginalized forms of personhood(1) in the contemporary Western world. |
 | | More precisely, queer theory has tended to oppose individual agency to sexual taxonomy, typically on the grounds that taxonomy is normativizing and inevitably generative of an excluded other. |
 | | Although Foucault's History of Sexuality (1978) is often cited as the originary work in queer theory, earlier works by Hocquenghem (1993[1972]), Altman (1972, 1982), and Weeks (1977) are also considered significant. |
