Queer Theory

Queer theory is a field of Post-Structuralism that emerged in the early 1990s out of queer studies and women's studies. t encompasses a range of interpretations, but primarily focuses on examining and conceptualizing gender and sexual practices that diverge from heterosexuality. One of its key objectives is to challenge the prevailing notion that heterosexual desire is the norm. Drawing inspiration from social constructivist perspectives in sociology, queer theorists often critique essentialist perspectives on sexuality and gender. Instead, they analyze these concepts as products of social and cultural influences, often investigating the categories, binaries, and language used to represent them.
