Many contemporary French philosophers make incidental use of the notion of a ruse. Its names are legion: 'duplicity,' 'concealment,' 'forgetting,' and 'subterfuge,' among others. This book employs Gilles Deleuze's philosophy of the concept to describe three specifically conceptual ruses, or sleights, that make up part of the conceptual support for the concept of sex. These are the sleights associated with the concepts of norm, bisexuality and development. Mary Beth Mader argues that concepts can trick us, and shows how they can effect conceptual sleights, or what she calls sleights of reason. 410 0$aSUNY series in gender theory. 606 $aFeminism 606 $aSex 606 $aWomen$xSexual behavior 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aWomen$xSexual behavior. 676 $a306.7082 700 $aMader$b Mary Beth$01643907 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827183003321 996 $aSleights of reason$94056819 997 $aUNINA
