Description
Deep Gossip by Henry Abelove explores the intersections of politics, culture, and sexuality. This collection of essays examines how American psychoanalysts misinterpreted Freud's views on homosexuality, reconsiders 18th-century English sexual practices, and assesses Thoreau's Walden in relation to queer politics. Abelove also uncovers the origins of American studies as a scholarly discipline and evaluates the impact of literature on the gay liberation movement of the 1970s. The essays gathered here demonstrate Abelove's reputation as a leading thinker on the cultural politics of sexuality, shedding new light on the connections between culture, history, and identity. Through its interdisciplinary approach, Deep Gossip offers insights into the complex relationships between power, culture, and desire.
