Wow, let's talk about this book. Huge implications here for the direction of Queer Theory - away from the debate about
"acts" versus "identity' into a discussion of ethics. Through a careful, close re-reading of the iconic passage from Foucault's
Sexuality I - Huffer shows how the founders of queer theory in the US got the meaning of this passage wrong... and
through taking up Foucault's largely ignored earlier book Madness and Civilizations sets us on another path. As someone
who has been interested in a queer ethics - this book rocked my world. Huffer outlines a "political ethic of eros" by looking at
a Nietszche-Foucault genealogy, rather than the more common Freud-Foucault pair that queer theory has traditionally loved.
Wow - Wow - Wow. Huffer is clearing the way for some very new, inspiring work to be done in queer theory. Can't wait!
