Queer theory harnesses the creative potential of indeterminacy in order to celebrate and affirm infinite dimensions of sexuality and gender, creating space for all human beings to express themselves without the classification or judgement of prescriptive terminologies. Linguistic at its source, but going beyond this limit just like defamiliarisation, the liberating force of queer theory is derived from the removal of terminological boundaries. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePalmer asks what a 21st-century queer defamiliarisation might look like and examines the extent to which these affirmative or emancipatory discourses escape the paradoxes of normativity or historicisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474434150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474434157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.46w x 0.48d","brand":"Helen Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065831878911,"sku":"9781474434157","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6307083f-7ae7-4364-a9d9-57ed75939e35.jpg?v=1685403760","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queer-defamiliarisation-helen-palmer-9781474434157","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
