Reading etiology as a narrative form, political strategy, and hermeneutic method in American and British literature and popular culture, it argues that today's gay arguments for biological determinism accept their opponents' paranoia about what the author calls 'homosexual reproduction' - that is, non-sexual forms of queer increase - preventing more complex ways of considering sexuality and causality.American literatureHistory and criticismEnglish literatureHistory and criticismHomosexuality in literatureSocial aspectsQueer theoryNarration (Rhetoric)Homosexuality and literatureGender identity in literatureEnglishHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCAmerican LiteratureHILCCAmerican literatureHistory and criticismEnglish literatureHistory and criticismHomosexuality in literatureSocial aspectsQueer theoryNarration (Rhetoric)Homosexuality and literatureGender identity in literatureEnglishLanguages & LiteraturesAmerican Literature809/.93352664Rohy Valerie1257655PQKBBOOK9910154326703321Lost causes : narrative, etiology, and queer theory2914336UNINA
