Abstract

Lutz Hieber and Paula-Irene Villa examine the history and topicality of Queer Theory from the perspective of sociology, cultural studies, and politics. They depict essential theoretical debates and thinkers such as postmodernism, feminism in postmodernism, or the critique of identity and normalization. At the same time they place lucrative accents in the form of analyses of differing political practices, such as of the politicization of art. Overall the study successfully presents firstly, the terminology of Queer Theory ordered into their respective contexts and explained and secondly, specific forms and possibilities of political practice.
