On the cutting-edge of this significant shift was Annamarie Jagose's classic text \u003ci\u003eQueer Theory: An Introduction\u003c\/i\u003e. In this groundbreaking work, Jagose provides a clear and concise explanation of queer theory, tracing it as part of an intriguing history of same-sex love over the last century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlending insights from prominent theorists such as Judith Butler and David Halperin, Jagose illustrates that queer theory's challenge is to create new ways of thinking, not only about fixed sexual identities such as straight and gay, but about other supposedly immovable notions such as sexuality and gender, and man and woman. First released almost 25 years ago, this groundbreaking work has provided a foundation for the continuing evolution of queer theory in the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJagose, Annamarie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eAnnamarie Jagose\u003c\/b\u003e is Dean, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Sydney, and the author of \u003ci\u003eLesbian Utopics\u003c\/i\u003e.
