Abstract

Contemporary critiques of sexuality have their origins in the work of Michel Foucault. While Foucault's seminal arguments helped to establish the foundations of queer theory and greatly advance feminist critique, Lynne Huffer argues that our interpretation of the theorist's powerful ideas remains flawed. Preface: Why we need Madness -- Introduction: Mad for Foucault -- How we became queer -- First interlude : Nietzsche's dreadful attendant -- Queer moralities -- Second interlude: wet dreams -- Unraveling the queer psyche -- Third interlude: of meteors and madness -- A queer nephew -- Fourth interlude: a shameful lyricism -- A political ethic of Eros -- Postlude: A fool's laughter.
