Description
Sara Ahmed explores the concept of orientation in this groundbreaking work, examining how bodies are situated in space and time. By focusing on the "orientation" aspect of "sexual orientation" and the "orient" in "orientalism," Ahmed reveals how social relations are arranged spatially and how queerness disrupts these relations. This book proposes a queer phenomenology that investigates the orientation of phenomenology itself, combining insights from phenomenological texts and queer studies.
