Description

Thinking Straight: A Critical Examination of Heterosexuality This collection of essays explores the power and promise of heterosexuality, as well as its paradoxical nature. It delves into the historical, social, political, cultural, and economic aspects of straightness, examining how institutionalized heterosexuality has been organized and given meaning. The volume interrogates the meanings and practices associated with being straight, shedding light on the interests served by the continued operation of institutionalized heterosexuality. By analyzing the power dynamics at play, these essays provide insight into the history, materiality, and legitimizing practices surrounding straightness. Through a critical lens, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex systems that shape our perceptions of sex and gender.
