The study turns its attention to the significant paradigm shift in the narratives on intersex that occurred within early 1990s intersex activism in response to biopolitical regulations of intersex bodies.Focusing on the emergence of recent autobiographical stories and cultural productions like novels and TV series centering around intersex, Viola Amato provides a first systematic analysis of an activism-triggered resignification of intersex. 330 1 $ağEine wichtige Archiv-Studie, deren Aufarbeitungscharakter den Ansprüchen des Gegenstandes an eine sensible Analyse [...] gerecht wird.Ğ 330 1 $ağInteresting and reliable.Ğ 330 1 $ağA groundbreaking study that clearly closes a research gap in American Studies.It is particularly Amatos rootedness in poststructuralist theories of sex and gender and her awareness of the indebtedness of academic discourse to the largely underrepresented history of the intersexmovement that lets the better-known intersexnarratives appear in a new light and provides a new ground for nuanced future readings of intersex narratives.Ğ 517 2 $aAmato, Intersex Narratives$eShifts in the Representation of Intersex Lives in North American Literature and Popular Culture 606 $aIntersex 606 $aAutobiography 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aMedicine 606 $aGender 606 $aBody 606 $aQueer Theory 606 $aFeminism 606 $aActivism 606 $aSexuality 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aCultural Studies 615 4$aIntersex 615 4$aAutobiography 615 4$aPopular Culture 615 4$aMedicine 615 4$aGender 615 4$aBody 615 4$aQueer Theory 615 4$aFeminism 615 4$aActivism 615 4$aSexuality 615 4$aGender Studies 615 4$aCultural Studies 676 $a306.7685 700 $aAmato$b Viola$p
