An academic approach to both gender and the erotic, which clarifies the damaging influence of heterosexism and examines Lesbian treatment in sociology, psychology, social policy, cultural studies, film theory and history.
Neither women''s studies nor lesbian and gay studies offers an adequate theoretical or political base for lesbian scholarship. Lesbian Studies: Setting and Agenda aim to promote lesbian studies as an academic and political approach to both gender and the erotic, and to clarify the damaging influence of heterosexism across a range of disciplines.
Drawing on feminism and queer theory, Tamsin Wilton argues that `lesbian'' is a theoretical position which must be widely available in order to challenge the dominance of the heterosexual perspective. Engaging with theoretical and political debates, the book moves beyond its role of setting an agenda for lesbian studies into a wider role as resource and catalysts for anyone interested in gender and the erotic.
