{"product_id":"disturbing-practices-laura-doan-9780226001586","title":"Disturbing Practices: History, Sexuality, and Women's Experience of Modern War","description":"For decades, the history of sexuality has been a multidisciplinary project serving competing agendas. Lesbian, gay, and queer scholars have produced powerful narratives by tracing the homosexual or queer subject as continuous or discontinuous. Yet organizing historical work around categories of identity as normal or abnormal often obscures how sexual matters were known or talked about in the past. Set against the backdrop of women's work experiences, friendships, and communities during World War I, \u003ci\u003eDisturbing Practices\u003c\/i\u003e draws on a substantial body of new archival material to expose the roadblocks still present in current practices and imagine new alternatives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this landmark book, Laura Doan clarifies the ethical value and political purpose of identity history--and indeed its very capacity to give rise to innovative practices borne of sustained exchange between queer studies and critical history. \u003ci\u003eDisturbing Practices\u003c\/i\u003e insists on taking seriously the imperative to step outside the logic of identity to address questions as yet unasked about the modern sexual past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Doan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022600158X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226001586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Laura Doan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086387785983,"sku":"9780226001586","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cee85ff6-728a-4b20-856b-3aa4632c705b.jpg?v=1769094389","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disturbing-practices-laura-doan-9780226001586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
