Tendencies brings together for the first time the essays that have made Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick "the soft-spoken queen of gay studies" (Rolling Stone). Combining poetry, wit, polemic, and dazzling scholarship with memorial and autobiography, these essays have set new standards of passion and truthfulness for current theoretical writing. The essays range from Diderot, Oscar Wilde, and Henry James to queer kids and twelve-step programs; from "Jane Austen and the Masturbating Girl" to a performance piece on Divine written with Michael Moon; from political correctness and the poetics of spanking to the experience of breast cancer in a world ravaged and reshaped by AIDS. What unites Tendencies is a vision of a new queer politics and thought that, however demanding and dangerous, can also be intent, inclusive, writerly, physical, and sometimes giddily fun.

Seller's Description:
Good. Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some areas of light to moderate wear to the covers, including a patch of adhesive remainder to the back. The inaugural title in DUP's Series Q, a foundational queer studies publishing project (founded by Sedgwick along with coeditors Michèle Aina Barale, Jonathan Goldberg, and Michael Moon), which helped validate and evolve the field through explorations of intersecting identities and disciplines, and which, after publishing 48 books, came to a close upon Sedgwick's death in 2009. Topnotch university press quality design to this one, with a fantastic slanted theme set in motion by a cover featuring street art documented by Ken Brown with matching italicized and condensed Futura titling, wonderful use of Franklin Gothic headings and ascending left margins to the interior, and the author's photo by her partner, H. A. Sedgwick. 281 pp. Philosophy & Politics.
