Description:
Deconstructing Normativity? brings together a unique collection of chapters in which an international selection of contributors reflect on the fundamental and often very radical ideas present in Freud's original 1905 edition of the Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality.
Review Quotes:
"Freud's Three Essays is treated here as a palimpsest that contributors tease apart with forensic care. Van Haute and Westerink, masterminding a vital de-heterosexualizing of psychoanalysis, present a dramatically revised theory of sexuality. From Deconstructing Normativity? emerges a compelling picture of Freud as the original anti-Oedipus." - -- Tim Dean, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; author of Unlimited Intimacy
'Deconstructing Normativity? is an important and timely collection that sheds new light on Freud's Three Essays of Sexuality. This volume makes a vital contribution to contemporary discussions of sexuality and psychoanalysis.' - Elissa Marder, Professor of French and Comparative Literature, Emory University, USA
