Western thinking on sexuality has historically affirmed not only a binary division between two sexes, each of which is defined by unique fixed attributes that delineate its essence, but also a privileging of the masculine over the feminine and heteronormative relations over alternatives. By engaging with psychoanalytic theory, phenomenology, feminist and gender theory, and the new materialisms, Gavin Rae shows how this model came under sustained and heterogeneous attack in the twentieth century. Rather than affirm one of these critical trajectories, Rae rethinks the problematic by turning to Walter Benjamin's notion of concepts as constellations to develop an alternative model called sexuality as constellation.

Industry Reviews

An innovative, refreshingly nuanced interdisciplinary consideration of sexuality's philosophical chronicling. Rae's Questioning Sexuality deftly weaves and delimits psychoanalytic, phenomenological, feminist, and queer approaches to entrenched notions of sexuality, brilliantly reframing sexuality as an indeterminate conceptual nexus illuminating the complexity of identity, politics, ethics, and being itself.--Stacy Keltner, Kennesaw State University
